We lived in Nidau, a French and German speaking town, around 200m from the lake. My father then decided to move back to his canton of origin before I had to go to school. Ticino is Italian speaking and I spoke only German, so the choice was between moving back immediately or never moving back again.

Whenever I’m here I wonder how my life would have been like if my father hadn’t decided to move back to Ticino.

Congratulations!

That's the Tremola, the old road. It's now mostly used by cyclists, motorcyclists and classic car owners.

The Gotthard axis is an important transit route between northern and southern Europe. I don’t mind driving in a tunnel for 17km, but if I have time, I prefer driving over the pass because it’s more scenic.

I have my annual family reunion this weekend, so it's almost guaranteed that the weather will turn the moment I'm driving home. I usually drive over the Gotthard Pass and always catch the first light snowfall of the season. This is last September.

They must have realized that many don't want to wait and torrent/download the show.

And you can watch on Youtube one hour after the shows premieres in the UK. No more waiting 24 hours until the show drops on Youtube.

The new season of Taskmaster starts tonight 😀 You don't even have to wait 24 hours anymore, tonight's episode will be on Youtube at 2 p.m PDT

I used to look at watches with my father. I think about him every time I take a stroll along via Nassa in Lugano and see a Vacheron Constantin on display, they were his favourite watches. I'm always mesmerized by the Overseas Tourbillon Skeleton, truly a work of art.

Happy birthday!

If you don’t understand how anything works, everything is a conspiracy.

I got so uncomfortable I had to close the stream.

And make it stick
