It never ceases to amaze me how I can hurt my back doing the most innocuous things. You have my sympathy & best wishes.

I am trying to watch a programme about the Glacier Express. Two minutes in, and the first mistake. The Glacier Express was described as a locomotive. It is not, its a route.
They are showing the top of the Jungfrau, which is not part of the Glacier Express, at least not in my book.

I'm watching that too. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.eek

We've been all over those hills and railways and agree with all you say.

One programme, they were saying how the driver slowed down specifically so the passengers could get a better view. Er no.... it was an ancient wooden bridge in Morocco, so no doubt there was a speed restriction on it.

It's the TV equivalent of a coffee table book. Lovely to look at, but little substance.
They've just gone down a 1.5 mile zip wire and said you have to walk all the way back up!!!

Done that, or something similar. Must be 20 years ago. Was good fun.
Now they are going up the Gornergrat. Been there. Many times.

I remember seeing something similar in Wales many years ago. Sure it was around Llandudno...maybe on the Orme

Probably a poor imitation, but it still seems to be there. https://www.jnlllandudno.co.uk/slopes/tubing-tobogganing/

I've found out a bit more: the cat belonged to Elder Son of Landlady and his family, who lived in this flat. They emigrated to the US for some reason, and the cat was adopted by a neighbour. It's probably a bit confused now there's someone in the house, but if I see a "little red cat" it answers to the name "Leon".
Being a cat I suspect "answers to" means "ignores as much as it ignores anything else..." but we'll see.

Mmmmm, that was a nice tortilla / frittata. It was packed full of jersey royals and a load of random vegetables found in the fridge, and then topped with cheese.

Come and live in SW. France , today has been lovely , clear blue sky , light breeze and 27c
Sounds lovely, but I don't do hot weather very well. When it's cold, one can always put another layer on. When it's hot, there are only so many layers one can remove...
Shame, the food is amazing, I'm sure.

I'd love to but I'm stuck here for a while. Though, if the world opens up a bit more towards the end of summer, I'd love to stick the bike in the car, find a little hotel and spend a couple of weeks exploring the areaCome and live in SW.
