Zurich (EN)-2025-01-30: Rabbits, Resolutions & Wong

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 Zurich (EN)

Good Morning

It’s the end of the month on Saturday, and how are the New Year’s resolutions going? Has the gym membership lapsed? Or are the pounds dropping off, revealing a svelte and toned new you?

How was Veganuary? Are you thinking of pushing through to February, or will you be having a steak or a burger on Saturday evening? And what about the dreaded Dry January? Will the Langstrasse be filled with drunken revellers whose tolerance to alcohol has plummeted, leaving them smashed after a mere Herrgöttli?

I suppose time will tell, but I can say that my resolution is going great. My resolution this year was to have no more New Year’s resolutions (or oxymorons!). That’s right—no lurching from one extreme to the other, just aiming for a nice, comfortable balance. But whether you have a drink, enjoy a steak, or hit the gym—or not—have a great weekend and…

Give my love to the city

Januarloch: Pure Ginspiration

I’ve already taken on all sorts of creative projects myself: I built a unique bookshelf, proudly grow my own Kombucha SCOBY, and make my own soap. But what I’ve never dared to do is create my own gin. But that’s exactly what you can do in a three-hour workshop at «Turicum.» Here, you’ll have the chance to sample over 50 different distillates and mix your very own gin – and the best part? You get to take home your personalised gin along with a Gin and Tonic kit on the very same day. If that excites you, here’s your chance to win one of three ... Read More

Have Eight Minutes To Spare? Watch The Egg

If you have eight minutes and six seconds in your busy schedule then i have a video for you, (and me! You’ll understand when you watch it,) to check out. A work colleague showed me this video and myself and all the other Ron minions sat transfixed as it played out. Beautifully animated and narrated by the YouTube channel Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell, the video relays «The Martian» author, Andy Weir’s short story, «The Egg». There is some pretty uncomfortable truths in there but it remains relaxing and life affirming in a strange way. And it is wonderfull ... Read More
