I do most of my grocery shopping at a chain called Migros. They have these fun promotions for kids and the one going on now is the best. Every time you spend 20 Francs you get a Nano. The Nano web site describes them as creatures from the smallest planet of the Milky Way. These little figurines in the form of a capsule can tumble, can be nudged and can be piled up with a bit of skill and patience. There are 48 Nanos, each is part of a clan and you can get a little album to keep track of your collection. Bea loves them and I think I do too.. we are experiencing Nano Mania.

Here’s an advertisement at the train station. Every time Bea sees an ad she shouts and points “there’s my Nanos!”

Uh I think I need to go buy some expensive groceries now. Gotta go –
