Didn't bother going out today. Just getting the summer wheels and tyres in from the car and down the stairs to the cellar was enough exertion for this morning. And I finally got around to calling the bank that is getting out of the private banking business to ask them to sell the mutual funds that i have there. It seems that the bank where I have my current account can't administer this particular fund. This means that I will have about 35 kUSD of extra cash but that I will have to pay tax of the capital gain in the next tax return.
Anyway, no outdoor pictures today but here is today's outfit; a black knitted minidress and opaque tights
