alpenrose Mar 2020 9:48am, 30 Mar 2020 43,422 posts	Quote Pin alpenrose Saturday, a load of Brit chalet staff went home on specially chartered planes, also some Swedes and Danes left in a coach. This morning, the Germans were lined up to leave in convoy at 8 am. Latest is that the Hungarians get to leave. Perhaps I should get myself in a place where I could leave at relatively short notice, although I'm not sure how I'd get to an airport with a flight to England yet. They are still flying twice a day from Zurich and this has been my hope all along.

Telephone call to my Mum and Skype messages with colleague and I feel a bit better. Giving myself permission to take it easy today. Reading rather than report writing.
