A week long trip in May 2008 trip to Scotland’s Isle of Skye, where we were fortunate enough to get great weather!

Feels like a proper Star Wars story. And a great telling of Imperial over-reach and how the resistance starts to form. This is the first Star Wars TV show I have watched and it’s really good.
Steve Coogan holds this together and the story of how customs officers went undercover is riveting. But it’s clear the story that this tells never happened, which loses it points.
It holds up ok. Not quite at the level of the original Indiana Jones films, but it‘s watchable.

There are some interesting ice cream flavours available at L’Artisan Glacier, Zurich - mine was walnut and maple syrup. I just really dislike the machine asking for a tip, when it’s counter service.

Today Switzerland votes on the 10 Million Switzerland Initiative. The letterbox has been full of leaflets for and against it. In brief the population of Switzerland is currently 9.1 million. If the initiative succeeds the population cannot exceed 10 million by 2050 and if it gets to 9.5 million before, some drastic action must be taken; which would trigger a Swiss Brexit of sorts.
This is a popular initiative - triggered by collecting 100,000 signatures. And if the vote succeeds Switzerland will have to implement it.
We should find out the result later today. It looks very close.
