A very sick Mac - Random Shutdowns
If you are not a computer techie then you better stop reading this now or you will wonder "what on earth is he on about?" :)
I was very happy with my new MacBook until last Wednesday when it suddenly shut down without warning. Since then I have had numerous random shutdowns. I looked the issue up on the mac users discussion board to discover (to my horror) that there appears to be a major hardware problem with the new MacBooks (the topic currently has 18,200 views and 541 posts). Apple havent yet admited that there is a problem but there clearly is and it seems that Apple are still not sure how to fix it.
I rang Apple Support on Friday and they told me to bring it to the Apple Shop in Basel for a repair, but I am reluctant to do that because they appear to be replacing the faulty part (i.e. the logic board) with an identical part. Surely if you do that, then I am going to encounter the same problem again in the coming months?

Walking in the Swiss mountains with daddy
This past week we took time to go up to the Ankenballen - the rocks we can see from our bedroom window. Joel went all the way to the top with me and to prove it, here is the photo with Kichzimmer in the background. We hope in the coming days to get time to explore more of the area by foot.
A snake in the laundry
Mummy went down to take down her washing tonight and found a snake in the laundry room. When Joel heard about it, he got out of bed and ran down to see it. We had to convince him to let the other children handle it – he didn’t want to let go.Lots more photos have been added to www.thecousinsfamily.org/albums

Just another sign of life
Hi everyone! This is just another sign of life to let you know that we are all well and really enjoying our time in Kilchzimmer. The teachers are excellent and the subjects are very interesting. There is a lovely atmosphere among the students and staff. We are enjoying getting to know people from many different countries and making new friends.
David and Joel are so at home here. They are really behaving well (most of the time) and also making new friends. They are never bored and always glad to see their bed around 7.00 - 7.30pm. Once they are sleeping we spend the rest of the night in study.
We are continuing to add photographs all the time so be sure to keep revisiting www.thecousinsfamily.org/albums
