4 hours of watering!! Are the restrictions still in place? But you should be getting rain by now, here it did start yesterday - which is such a relief. We also had up to 32°C. I told my boss I'm doing homeoffice, because we have no AC. Monday it was 30°C inside, in the morning we already had 4°C higher temperatures inside than outside. Absolutely crazy. Office people are insane. I cannot wrap my mind around what people have to put up with because they need a job. Hopefully I will find another, better income source soon.

Your father sounds like a peculiar person! Valais people in Switzerland actually are regarded as a tight-knot community who prefer to keep business within themselves (with a slight inclination to illegality...). So him as a foreigner being part of the community sounds unusual, but doing business with the mayor - not so much. 🤣
