The Blog of Survival Part 1


This will be short and sweet.

It's just a question, actually, are these things happening to you to?

Equipment:

  • Satellite Navigation (GPS)
  • Glove Box
  • And a good intention

(Good intention is a key ingredient, it ALWAYS just HAPPENS when you have a good intention)

It's this simple, the satellite navigation lying around the car. I don't want anyone to sit on it, or get it stolen (good intention), you lean from the back seat to the front seat, punch the button on the glove department, throw the GPS in, and smash the compartment shut.

You don't know at this point, that nobody will ever ever ever open the glove box without using sharp tools again.
  Ok, next day, just before the drive, just before anybody else gets in the car, and because you are doing things properly, you lean from the backseat to the front, you try to open the glove box, in a great speed as you do, quick quick quick! They are locking the house, and I want to install the Satellite Navigation before they come, quick quick!

You push you pull! The parents are getting closer and closer, you try your hardest, the handle breaks off.

You quickly jump back into the back seat, put your neutral face on, and ask your dad:

"Could you just open the glove box department, and get the Sat Nav out?"

It's a bit cheeky really, but you've got to follow certain rules to survive. Your parents then take turns in trying but you know very well, it's stuck and broken, and somebody will need clever tools to get it.

Dad may say a couple of harsh words under his breath. DO NOT COMMENT!

He goes to the kitchen, and gets a knife. Now I put on my super neutral face, and I would also advise to combine it with being super duper quiet, ideally watching some invisible spot on the floor. Do not talk, do not breath, try to be invisible.

Dad, using the sharp tools, will force the lock open. The glove box is now open, but nobody will ever close it.

Mum gets in the car, hurts her knee, and that is the first bruise on the knee that my family is going to obtain in the next few weeks, depending on who is getting into the passenger seat.

I am telling you! It was not me! It was the flimsy material the used for the locker!

Or that cat again!

1 week before my Ski Trip Adventure

  Sunday We went to Annecy. Lovely sping weather, bit cold. No snow. Seagulls on the lake. Golorious sun. Monday Still no snow. Cloudy. Temperatures about 0*C. School ended early, no music (yay!) . Spring in the air. Tuesday Heavy snow fall, started at 7:30AM. It's -2*C. It's the rush hour in Switzerland. Heavy snow and Rush hour not good combination because road clearing trucks can't do their jobs. Nyon was chaos. Roads were unusable. Interestingly when the roads are all covered with 5 inches of snow we have realized how steep the slope is from the lake to the town. The cars were stuck, slipping, skidding, doing zig zags. Everybody was a bit scared. This is the test of your winter tires, your driving skills and your nerves. We drove around town and looked from all the angles. All the roads looked dangerous and unsuitable for driving. Why were they not treated before I don't know. My french teacher who was traveling from Lausanne, left at 7:45AM and arrived at 9...

Blog re-uploaded!

Hello! It's been 3 years and a bit since I first started this blog. Since that time, I've struggled with my web host to keep it up running despite the very old blogging platform I was using. A year ago my blog completely broke.  I've finally decided to go through the long and enduring process of recovering my old database data, and migrating all my articles to something a bit more modern... Blogger! Perfect. Run by Google, this will never die on me again! The whole process was exhausting, but after many hours of work it's finally here! During these past 3 years, I've been integrating with the local educational system, and trying my best to keep my marks up! You will have undoubtedly realised that the time between blogs has been increasing. Study has started eating up a lot of my time, especially now that I am at college. I have very little free time, let alone time to think up entertaining stories. I really do hope to advance this blog on further sometime. U...

Geneva, London, Geneva

  Thursday: Today it was more like: Coppet -> Nyon (School) -> Divonne (France, diesel for car) -> Coppet -> Geneva -> London. Today was a long and interesting day. The most interesting thing was to see our plane from Geneva to London delayed, delayed and delayed until, after we took off, the Geneva airport was closed! See for yourself. Geneva, waiting until the plane finally arrives from Heathrom. Heathrow, sending planes as fast as it can, with full flight departure boards. Friday: It would have been nice to have a lay in after our late arrival yesterday. We had to take our dad to work and therefore woke up very early. The lady at breakfast asked me if I wanted boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, poached eggs or fried eggs. I said Yes. because I was half asleep.   The adults laughed and said in that order please.   I did not get this joke at the time as I was concentrating on not falling under the table.  We had hairdressers and some shopping to do ...
