Right, tomorrow I depart for switzerland. I have mixed feelings about this, I'm excited as I've never been before and i know we're going to do lots of trips to castles and museums which is the sort of thing i really like, but at the same time i'm conscious that i will be looking after 4 children (although their mother will be there too) and it will be two weeks where seven of us will be living in a two bedroom flat. I also have no idea of the hours i will be working and but also what i shall do with any time off i do get. My french really isn't that great as i haven't used it since GCSE and the same applies for my german too. The first thing i have to do when i get to geneva airport is to get on a train to Nyon and then find the family, so hopefully my french will be up to buying a train ticket and listening to announcements. it will certainly be an adventure. I hope to return of course with lots of swiss chocolate, my mouth is watering at the thought of all that milka (my favourite). hopefully the children will be well behaved too, after two weeks break they might actually be pleased to see me. We shall have to wait and see, I've bought my holiday reading to do so if i get bored there is always microeconomics and game theory to look at!
