Woke up and couldn't fall asleep anymore, so I did this week's #grandma recording already: Those were 31 Minutes from 27 December 2021, the last recording of that year, which I had started transcribing in the middle of November last year. Ahead, there are 28 recordings from 2022 before the final about 140 from her last year of life.

In this recording, we talked a lot about how difficult it was for both of us to live in the same house as our parents as grown-ups. When it got too much for her, she would often escape to the mountains in Switzerland, where a friend from #Chur had a small cabin near Malix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malix in #Graubünden.

Then we talked about, how live on a Black Forest farm changed meanwhile and that there aren't the amounts of #snow anymore, that she experienced in her younger days with this ... "#GlobalWarming", I finished the sentence for her.

#Arosa , apparently it’s a ski resort. I went there once and remember a lovely train (or was it a tram?) ride through the mountains. And I also remember walking back to #Chur with my colleague / friend Max (there must have been a theatre there). It was, to say the least, a tough walk. Not so much because of the distance, but because the paths suddenly became so slippery and we were wearing ordinary ‘walking shoes’. It was too far to turn back and actually quite dangerous in places.

Years ago, I bought a Hi-Matic 7s.
Luckily for me, I was able to buy my collection of cameras before the analogue revival happened.
So I was able to buy loads of cameras for around 20 euros each .
It’s always nice to test something out with film ! I always had something to test with in my bag. You don’t actually need much to use a camera.
You’ve got your film, your subject, the aperture and your shutter speed.

After a few hours of nothing but white, green and every shade of grey, you’re happy to find a bit of red ...

I think I took this photo because I had a " shutter button hunger " . Perhaps also because seeing all these sticks sorted by size gave me a sense of Swiss precision

How lovely, a red train against a white landscape. And always right on time. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Switzerland several times on tour with theatre productions. It’s a fantastic country, but actually maybe a little too expensive for my budget to use as a holiday destination.
I particularly love their respect for nature.
