Do not be alarmed by the yellow circle in the sky. I had a vague recollection of what it is and, after some research, have found out that it is called the sun. Not only is it harmless but it also has many beneficial effects including improvement in mood, providing vitamin D and being the perfect accompaniment to a swim or a libation or two. Enjoy the sunshine and…

Give my love to the city

If you fancy a bit of live music and a bite to eat or just a drink then Cafe Boy (which is nice and close to Lochergut,) is putting on live music for the next couple of Thursdays. This week the music is from «Root Hog and Die» which is described on their website as «Fiddlebilly», whatever that is. So clean your tooth, get your dungarees on and get ready for some rootin’ tootin’ duelling banjos.

Here’s a good Idea. Visit Theatre Ida in the Basislager this Friday (or any day up until the 22th of August.) The theatre have invited international improv artists to perform and share their experiences through a series of workshops. There is way too many to mention so head over to their website for the full program.

I know i’ve mentioned Hive a lot in the past few weeks but they are constantly coming up with great event so sue me. Once again Hive are taking over the SBB Werkstatt for their Katermukke Openair which starts at a very civilised 2pm and ends at a positively sensible 10pm. Which of course gives you the chance to hit the clubs…

Time for a bite to eat? Then check out the new pop up from damndelicious.ch which is starting this Friday. El Patio Latino combines the flavours and cuisines of South America and the Caribbean with five chefs with strong connections to these parts of the world collaborating. So if you fancy trying tamales and tostadas, bammy and sandwiches de chola, or even vegan ceviche, take the tram over to kreis 2 and check them out.

If you are still raring to go after the previously mentioned day dance there are two options open to you. First up is Zurich’s clubbing institution Zukunft. Yes they’re back up and running and they are open tonight, tomorrow and on Saturday if your legs can still carry you.

Your second option is the wonderful Frieda’s Büxe who are replacing the annual street parade with their very own «Büxenparade» They have a whole plethora of DJ’s to keep you moving until the sun comes up.

The last year and a half has had most of us literally climbing up the walls so why not make a sport out of it? Climbing is very on trend right now but who has the time to head out to the mountains, especially after work. And what if the weather’s no good? Fortunately Zurich has solutions to these problems as there are plenty of locations for «bouldering» in the city. And i’ve even created a map, just for you. You know what to do...hit the buttons.
