snow fall

27/1/15

Overnight it appears that Switzerland and the weather collaborated and decided that they had held out on us long enough... and we finally got some snow! Apparently it is supposed to constantly snow from now until next Monday.

Today was Teaching Tuesday and although it was Rachael's day off, she had planned an afternoon class to teach us how to use Movie Maker on Windows computers.  That morning was spent cleaning and organizing the Main Chalet Attic.  We rearranged and made sure things were where they were supposed to be.  Ana said that she now knows how Harry Potter felt, sleeping under the stairs.  For negative 3 outside, it got quite hot inside under the roof! I was sweating by the end of it!!

After we had had lunch and a bit of a break, and our afternoon class with Rachael started at 3. We learnt how to use Movie Maker - how to input and export pictures and videos, how to add animations and text and how to add music as a backing track.  After we had finished our class, before we had to cook dinner, Jen surprised us with a new murder game for staff only. Stay tuned for further updates as to what happens during this game!

 We started dinner at four, we were making Spag Bog followed by ice-cream for dessert.  It was Mara's 25th Birthday, and as per Our Chalet tradition, we donned the tea cozies and grabbed our pots and pans and sung happy birthday in as many different languages as we could.  We started with with Finnish:

"Paljon onnea vaan, 

Paljon onnea vaan, 

Paljon onnea Mara,

Paljon onnea vaan"
