Ow, my head. For those that remember, yesterday was my Birthday and whilst i wasn’t able to party hearty on the Langstrasse i still had a great time. But to help you to celebrate i have something to offer you lovely Ronsters. Today i am raffling 5 x 1 nights stay (for 2 people) in the 25 hours Hotel in the Langstrasse, 5 x 2 vouchers for Stripped Pizza, and 5 x 1 sixpack of beer from Brausyndikat. Click the link here (BTW, it’s in German) and share a picture of you when you were sixteen in the comments. The best 5 win. Good luck and…

Give my love to the city.

My Netflix subscription has been something of a lifesaver during this lockdown period but i am finding that i am scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as this source of entertainment is concerned. Fortunately Kosmos are weighing in with Filmingo which streams arthouse films in digital format.

This Friday is May the first, traditionally a day where protests take place against the capitalist system and economic and social power remaining in the hands of a small wealthy few. This Friday barrikade.info are trying to coordinate a protest from our windows and balconies (so no smashing up Starbucks,) to try and address the stark inequities in the current system. Get your flag made and get it hung up for Friday.

With the weather being so clement i have been yearning for a delicious ice cream from Gelateria Di Berna but does heading down to Lochergut or Frau Gerolds garden count as essential travel? In my mind yes, but thankfully they have solved the problem for me and they are now delivering to certain postal areas in the city. No more screaming for ice cream.

If you dig electronic music then you are in for a treat this Saturday from 3pm as Zurich music collective Hæresis are Invitatio-ing you check out not one, not two but sixteen DJ’s transmitted direct to your home. Check out the link for an idea of the sound.

If you ever dreamed of wielding a lightsaber like Obi-Wan, piloting the Millenium Falcon like Han Solo, brutalising Jar-Jar Binks or having a crush on your own sister like Luke Skywalker then don’t forget that Monday is Star Wars day. May the Fourth (May the Force be with you. Geddit?) is a great excuse (as if you need an excuse to wear a face mask,) to breakout the Stormtrooper/Darth Vader helmet and wear it with pride or chain yourself to a revolting slug like Melania…sorry, Princess Leia. Or failing that, you can (as i'm going to do,) binge watch the whole series of films.

Beer, cheese, is there no end to my culinary skills? Even my kitchen is shocked by the levels of creativity. This week i ventured into the frozen wastes of cuisine and created my very own ice cream. It’s not that difficult and uses only two main ingredients. Click here for my delicious vegan ice cream recipe.
