Got back from Dublin on Saturday.

Today I'm off to Switzerland via Luton Airport. It's a business trip but if I told you who I'm meeting (and why) I'd have to shoot myself.

All will be revealed in due course. (Teaser: we're meeting at Casa del Habano, Bleicherweg 18, Zurich.)

Business done I'm going to visit my aunt and one or two cousins who I last saw in 2011 when I took my family to Zurich by car. I wrote about it here:

Good Friday in Switzerland

And here: Homeward bound.

I'm told it can be very hot in Switzerland at this time of year but I checked the BBC website yesterday and it predicted moderate temperatures, heavy rain and high humidity all week.

No sitting on sunny patios or balconies for me, then.

Thanks a bunch.

PS. Just been told the person I am meeting doesn't speak English and I don't speak his language.

This should go well.
