Qu'est-ce qu'un blog?

We are in Montreaux, Switzerland right now, which is thankfully a French speaking area. Of course, speaking in the same language does not necessarily lead to useful communication, as we found out when Heidi ( the name we have given to the voice of the Mercedes Benz GPS system) led us on a wild goose chase when we tried to find our B&B location on Wednesday. Story later - here's a few pictures: Frankfurt - the River Main Basel - our artsy hotel My Clapotis - The needles that I am using certainly look like Addi Turbos, and they knit like Addi Turbos, but they were sitting in a box of assorted circular needles at a flea market, and there were only 2 packages of any kind in the box, both which said "die ideale Nadel" by Wolle Rodel. They cost 2 Euros each (less than $3 CAN) - I got this 5mm needle and a 2.5 mm needle. I have christened them "Fauxddis." And Finally: what's a blog post without a cute cat photo? Basel Zoo.
