Back from Interim

We disappeared from the blogosphere some time ago because we were travelling : Claire came back from Interim, and we accompanied her.

She left as School Dean in February, and on July 1, she came back as School Principal. As we already told you, we still don’t know where Interim is, but some funny things are happening over there !

A school year-end is always very busy, but there, with COVID, the change of part of the management team, and her promotion, it was very, very, very, very, very busy.

We focused on refreshing activities for Claire, away from the computer :
– rest

– walks

Aigle depuis les vignes
quais de Montreux-Veytaux

– relaxation in the garden

We are delighted that she’s soon on holiday and that we can visit you again !

My first phone

VYou all know that we’ve been executive assistants for a few months with Pixie, and today, Claire gave me a cell phone ! She says it is essential for us to be even more effective.

So if you want to leave me a message or chat for a little while, dial 012 345 67 89, and I’ll answer you purrsonally.

Let’s talk about money

You are amazing ! The result of my commentathon : 67 CHF to give to my favorite shelter !

Thank you from the bottom of my heart !

Cathy Keisha asked us in her comment : is a CHF anything like a green paper in another color ?

Yes, it is. CHF is the acronym for Swiss franc, the currency of Switzerland. We have coins, and we have papers in several colors.

According to M. Internet, 1 CHF = 1,4 CAD = 1 USD = 0,9 EUR = 1,5 AUD = 1,6 NZD aujourd’hui.

Here are the coins :

And the banknotes :

The average salary is 6000 CHF in Switzerland, but the cost of living is one of the highest in the world. You’ll find here how far 6000 francs really get you.
