On one hand that&#8217;s a good thing &#8211; at least nobody was feeling neglected, but on the other it does slightly make me consider the value of my contribution to family life. I guess at the point there were no underpants in the drawer and the fridge was empty they might have realized that I do actually do something here!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, my quiet days have benefitted body and soul although maybe not as much on the getting rid of the flu front as I had hoped. Yup, I&#8217;m still headachey and coughing, but otherwise \u00a0don&#8217;t feel quite so washed out.<\/p>\n<p>Hubby and I took Granny (who is a spritely 85 year old) on a city walk today. It was a bit of a grey day, but mild &#8211; and it felt good to get out of the house. One of the things I love about Z\u00fcrich is that although I&#8217;ve lived here for more than 20 years and it isn&#8217;t a big city, there are always new things to discover. Today it was a whole quarter I&#8217;d never dipped my toes in and a funicular railway (the Dolderbahn) that neither my husband nor I had ever ridden before. (My kids have frequently as there is an ice rink at the top of it, but we never have).<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Unknown-6.jpeg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4814\" title=\"Unknown-6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Unknown-6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"181\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We finished off with a spectacular afternoon tea at the Dolder Grand &#8211; one of the top hotels in Switzerland.
