The jetsetter finished 3 exams today and has one tomorrow before flying out.As tomorrow night is our last night all together for a few months we are going to have an early Christmas dinner.
I am hoping to have finished scanning 800 pages of text books so she doesn't have to lug over 4kg that she could otherwise view on her laptop. 400 done, 400 to go.

I am glad I bought vac bags for J's luggage or we wouldn't fit all the bulky clothing without doing serious damage to the suitcase.
I am relishing in the Autumn colours that abound around Geneva via internet pictures, of course.
J will be living around Vessy/Veryier.
The house she will live in is a semi-detached house. They are still very expensive.
Most houses start near the million mark and beyond. It makes me feel very poor.
Some have a basement for 2 bedrooms, bathroom and laundry.
I have found some glorious photos that depict the landscape, lighting and housing of the area.
I've discovered I miss the long shadows and orange glow of an Autumn sky.
Geneva reminds me of Tasmania at that time of year.
J will live just beyond the patch of trees on the right of the picture.
The cliff face will give her bearings when returning home from a day out.
Mount Saleve is an amazing feature of the area.
You can see Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) in the distance.
I have found my house to renovate and submit to "Grand Design". It is probably half a million.
J can do the ground work. :)

Aren't the colours inspirational?? I think so.

Wow this is so like Hobart.
This is not. Haven't seen a hot air balloon in Tassie.
Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) http://isyours.com/e/guide/geneva/jetdeau.html
The Jet d'eau, in Geneva (Columbus Day, 1951), rises 140 meters (459 feet) above Lake Geneva
Its predecessor dated from 1886, when the new hydraulic turbines on the Rhône built up excessive water pressure after the city’s craftsmen had closed the valves in their workshops and gone home. An engineer created a temporary outlet which spurted a 30m fountain to release the pressure while a reservoir system was developed, but by the time the fountain became unnecessary a few wily Genevois had caught on to its power as a tourist attraction. Then purely decorative, it was moved from the river to an exposed lakeside location, and furnished with more and more powerful pumps
