Apparently the Mono Monday theme is … First day of Spring/Winter and Switzerland is certainly occilating between the two at the moment. We know that the summers are getting longer and soon all of this snow will have gone. 6% of our our glaciers were lost last year, this winter has been so dry that none of that ice has been replaced. I feel I cannot justify flying anymore, unless it is absolutely essential. My generation has had it so good, not realising the need to reflect on our actions. I can get quite depressed thinking about my short sightedness.
