Nische which can be found at the Gaswerk Cultural Centre which has been
delighting audiences since 1996. And not many outsiders know that this beautiful
little cinema was where Winti’s big short-film festival actually began!</span><p></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The cinema shows culturally classy films, always in

the name given to a group of women pilots who underwent rigorous training in
the 1960s to take part in the Participate in NASA's space mission. Although
they passed all the tests, the decision was made to select only men for the
mission. If you’re a fan of untold backstories, you’ll be both enthralled and,
at times, enraged by the story of these remarkable women and how their dreams
were backburnered because of their gender.</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">They

Like Tinguely </span>(<span style="font-size: 12pt;">who's <i>Heureka</i> sculpture is situated in Zürichhorn Park) she was close to the family of the art patron and collector Theodor Ahrenberg who also lived in Switzerland.<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimL2uqnbp2Xvgp5eenOck7ys7cRpTIbmuxP1WIr4KcsRCxHGGUOGJKthvfkcjd-c8onuZnz2bcjFnblMRuFSnpwG1PO4j60tLV6Q5Qx2bUAmvKpwAlqdo-XXdN5tKfI5BAl9vn1uiYlwx2IVCp91i9F55s_JDmUC8kikYnZbaAGh0LhJD92IWXspL0/s2576/20220927_125647.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2576" data-original-width="1188" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimL2uqnbp2Xvgp5eenOck7ys7cRpTIbmuxP1WIr4KcsRCxHGGUOGJKthvfkcjd-c8onuZnz2bcjFnblMRuFSnpwG1PO4j60tLV6Q5Qx2bUAmvKpwAlqdo-XXdN5tKfI5BAl9vn1uiYlwx2IVCp91i9F55s_JDmUC8kikYnZbaAGh0LhJD92IWXspL0/s320/20220927_125647.jpg" width="148" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Niki was sexually abused by
her father as a child and she acknowledges that art became a kind of therapy
for her. Indeed, the exhibition charts her journey through an extremely broad
spectrum of work which is eccentric, extremely emotional and often very dark
and brutal. You can feel her anger – at her father, her mother, politicians,
heads of state, prejudice and the man’s world she lived in. It is in the large
part, a world away from her cheerful ‘Nanas’ she later became famous for.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">But Niki’s work is also humorous,
challenging and always enigmatic. There is a whole series of wonderful
illustrations about her life as a child and for a book about AIDS in the 80s.
She recycles leftover materials to great effect in works such as <i>Nightscape</i> (1959) and there is a
childlike joy in the simplicity of her oils such as <i>The Ballet Class </i>(1953-55) and <i>Play
with Me</i> (1955)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I especially loved her
'shooting' paintings and fancied <i>King
Kong</i> (1962/3) as a major political statement of the day, it reminded me of Picasso's Guernica. <i>Altar of Women</i> is powerful and I was enthralled with the children's playground pieces, heavily influenced by Gaudi. I especially
loved the story about Keith Haring living in the middle of one of the
playground pieces for a while (which doubled up as an apartment) because he
loved it so much.<o:p></o:p></span></p></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I imagine this is a good exhibition to take slightly older children to - although it was disappointing we couldn't enter <i>Skull (meditation room) </i>This really is a</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">n engaging and wonderful exhibition, which I can heartily recommend.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><i>The exhibition runs until 8.1.2023.

the outskirts of Winterthur</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">, in a big fascinating 70km circle. My
tandem gesprach friend, Luzia, and I have decided to walk each stage while we
chat, I need to learn German/Swissgerman and she wants to learn English and the
Rundweg will provide the perfect backdrop for our intercultural Gesprach.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Rundweg website is brilliant. It provides an
interactive map for each stage, the length, an approximate time to walk the distance and shows the elevations of each walk. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So today we tackled:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: #2000;"><b>Etappe Hegiberg - 6.5km - 1.45</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the Rundweg website, this stage is described like
this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="en-CH" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The boundaries between city and countryside are fluid: a second urban

the vending machine and the secluded nature reserve ponds are disguised
reservoirs.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEsJ9-0kIeKf4T-FwcbILRSI3agPpHlDSpkRtnM1nco2RaX47ku4sBHS7AxHMAnScZ4YRkhTEr3EqmRMlbnN839JrFmSODYShxpuVqWHvpUwezR6zVFhROpAvRs468fu6MmNvUIR_eDzMif5tsdyIj8bEkfpB7imiE_tYGYGY3iW_KveJ_dvP-z35/s4608/20220914_141622.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2128" data-original-width="4608" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEsJ9-0kIeKf4T-FwcbILRSI3agPpHlDSpkRtnM1nco2RaX47ku4sBHS7AxHMAnScZ4YRkhTEr3EqmRMlbnN839JrFmSODYShxpuVqWHvpUwezR6zVFhROpAvRs468fu6MmNvUIR_eDzMif5tsdyIj8bEkfpB7imiE_tYGYGY3iW_KveJ_dvP-z35/s320/20220914_141622.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We met up at the starting point at Hegi Bahnhof at
2pm. A little walk took us along the track before we could cross it with a neat
tunnel underneath, beautifully painted with trees.<br /><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the far side a wonderful little winding path
beckoned us on, disappearing gently into the woods. This brought us to what
looked a little like a hobbit house - it was actually some kind of well – and a stairway taking us to the Hegiberg woods above. The walk was beautifully
scenic and peaceful, taking us past a very alien looking kiln. The charcoal kiln was set up in 2006 by the Läbesruum association and the Oberwinterthur timber corporation as a project for the unemployed. From 2015, the Köhlerverein Andelbach took it over to produce charcoal from local beech trees.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There were lots of cows dotted around and some goats regarded us cooley as we entered the tiny village of Tolhusen,. The weather was warm, with the odd, refreshing
shower to cool us down. Perfect 'wandern^ weather really.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When we reached the endpoint at Tolhusen Bushaltestelle (in just
under 2 hours) we were relieved to find we’d arrived 10 minutes before the next
bus was due – in Tolhusen the bus usually only comes but once per hour…I did
enjoy how our bus driver received a very friendly wave from everyone he saw. What a friendly place!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Toptip: think about arriving to coincide with a
bus or you will have a long wait at the side of the road.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://www.rundweg.winterthur.ch/index.php?ref=search&refid=3344446&apid=16582807" target="_blank">www.rundweg.winterthur.ch</a></span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

books. I loved them as a child, I have greatly enjoyed the pleasure of reading
them with three of my own children, spanning at least 20 years, and I have
recently completed a diploma in Book Illustration.<p></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">And we are all in great
company – picture books have been around for more than 120 years – over a
century of readers entranced by the colour, rhythm, journey of discovery and
sheer magic of this genre of literature.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So I couldn’t wait to go
along to the latest exhibition at the Gewerbemuseum </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Bilderbücher: illustriert & inszeniert</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> (</span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Picture books: illustrated & staged</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I love the Gewerbemuseum. It
is light and airy and FUN! As I make my way up the stairs to Floor 1, halfway
up, I am confronted by a wall of colours – well, the names of all the colours
in black apart from </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #ff3300;">Orange</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #ffc000;">Gelb</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, lit up as their colours.
Informative and art, bundled together in a big ball of cheer, a theme that
encompasses the entire outlook of the museum.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At the top of the stairs it
all begins with a question:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">‘Is there anything quite like a picture book?’</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The exhibition goes on to
celebrate that fact, by presenting wave on wave of splendid picture books to be
picked up, absorbed and cherished while reclining in one of a multitude of two-seater
seats provided especially for the exhibition.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It begins with four examples
of contemporary books spread out along the corridor demonstrating the power of
the picture – four wonderfully surprising and vibrant stories without words – </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Herr Grau und Frieda Fröhlich</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> by Binette
Schroeder (Zürich 2021) </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Krokodrillo</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
by Giovanni Zoboli and Mariachiara Giorgo (Münster 2018) </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Kuchen für das Krokodill</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> by Claudia Werth (Vienna 2021) and </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Das Rote Buch</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> by Barbara Lehmann (Zürich
2021)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You can then head into a
large room full of funky lamps, comfy chairs, bespoke tables…and BOOKS – books
lying around everywhere, hanging from the ceiling, splayed out across the
walls. Books that take you on a journey through a dazzling array of the Great
and the Good going right back to Edward Lear in 1871.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I like to think of myself as
a bit of a book connoisseur, but there were many new stories and authors for me
to enjoy – highlights include the brush and pencil illustrations of Albertine an
observer of people and surroundings, drawing anywhere, anytime and making
sketches in notebooks, exploring new, ever evolving formats on different types
of paper.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I love </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Les gratte ciel</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> (2011), where she copys the image of the growing
house from the previous page and pastes it in the next step in order to continue
building on it, up and up until it reaches the sky and beyond!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBQzB8xFWoPARERMEz1KptT-J3XzMQQKXaz-M4mq-YqNHcAqcRsPIUbQWk5weItg3kjZV6MGdBZgCB9A72OoxtDKGhRdbtgP-vzlK-yqUmNwIhr8AdrQV9eL8rJKtLT-GssCqF21ikjpPLMUToKXiGjROTLhOaGoRzjRf-dBYbX-77zx7pgNqnVpx-/s2094/20220701_135630.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="927" data-original-width="2094" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBQzB8xFWoPARERMEz1KptT-J3XzMQQKXaz-M4mq-YqNHcAqcRsPIUbQWk5weItg3kjZV6MGdBZgCB9A72OoxtDKGhRdbtgP-vzlK-yqUmNwIhr8AdrQV9eL8rJKtLT-GssCqF21ikjpPLMUToKXiGjROTLhOaGoRzjRf-dBYbX-77zx7pgNqnVpx-/s320/20220701_135630.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tangibility is key to
this event – books everywhere to pick up and consume, a special interactive pop-up
book section (who doesn’t love a pop-up book?) and the weird and wonderful
world of the more grown up style of graphic fare – I couldn’t put down </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Treiben Lassen</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> by Peter Van de Ende, a
story charting a little paper boat’s adventures around a world of beautifully
detailed and imaginative fantasy creatures enfolded in dreamy black and white.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">There is so much more to
enjoy and I don’t want to spoil all the surprises and pleasures that await
visitors to this wonderful exhibition. Go check it out for yourself!</span></p>

Eurovision Song Contest surprised and delighted many fans as the UK came in
second to Ukraine!!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">After many years spent at the bottom of
the leader board by the UK, Sam Ryder seemed to achieve an impossible feat,
coming in second for his country with his soaring power ballad, Space Man. A
former construction worker, he had been keenly favoured ahead of the
competition with this song evoking the classic British pop of Queen and Elton
John.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">While Sam topped the jury vote, amassing 283
points, he was pipped at the post when public votes were added to the total.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Stefania by Kalush Orchestra rode a wave of public
sympathy to claim Ukraine’s third Eurovision victory. Their victory reflects a
symbolic show of public support following the country's invasion by Russia.
They ended their performance in Turin with a plea: "Please help Ukraine,
help Mariupol, help Azovstal right now." The rap-folk band, who were given
special permission to leave the war-torn country, soared to first place with
631 points.</span></p><p></p><p></p>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04989829500956723872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435024346302357961.post-95472468560725572022-03-03T08:08:00.004+00:002022-03-03T08:09:22.061+00:00Bilderbücher Austellung im Gewerbemuseum<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Gewerbemuseum Winterthur will be launching its exhibition all about picture books at the weekend.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglI5zpyX-At7L39Zt6ySBFBKlwn4VROKWiqc373hEh2bf4Xxtk9pqgJ5A12igm1JeomPH-lQkI9MgkLSbVtjUeohsVdAEqNZON7CHlL0CRZvSzwur-m_hauusGUJG-ey2Y8bcvppVKSIN7K4KGUo9pFka2GIpsbBbTe1d6XArxxjeFbXhK6ppS1tJp=s2717" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1811" data-original-width="2717" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglI5zpyX-At7L39Zt6ySBFBKlwn4VROKWiqc373hEh2bf4Xxtk9pqgJ5A12igm1JeomPH-lQkI9MgkLSbVtjUeohsVdAEqNZON7CHlL0CRZvSzwur-m_hauusGUJG-ey2Y8bcvppVKSIN7K4KGUo9pFka2GIpsbBbTe1d6XArxxjeFbXhK6ppS1tJp=s320" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">@Anete Melece: Der Kiosk</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Sunday (6<sup>th</sup>)</b> will see the opening of the exhibition <b><i>Bilderbücher: illustriert & inszeniert</i></b> exploring the types of visual narrative found in contemporary picture books with particular attention to the immediacy and delight they bring to young children. </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The event aims to bring stories vividly to life while investigating the creative process of picture book production.

It was right next to Covent Garden, where we love to browse, eat sausage rolls and watch street entertainers from a kerbside.</p><p>This was an 'unofficial' exhibition as Banksy isn't a fan of anything organised, but the whole event lived and breathed Banksy, with a huge collection owned by private customers, who are keen for the public to view his art, all highly political of course. I'm not sure how clued up the Swiss are about Banksy but I think in the UK we see him as a bit of a Robin Hood type figure, committing his graffiti crime under cover and often during the hours of darkness, in the fight against our corrupt governments and politicians. He has worked with Greenpeace and got involved in local disputes - notably with his Tesco Petrol Bomb' piece following the Bristol riots which were sparked by yet another superstore blot on the horizon. The police claimed that squat residents were making Molotov cocktails to burn down the store they opposed. All proceeds from the artwork went towards the legal fees of those arrested.</p><p>My 14-year-old daughter loved it. It had an 'underground' feel, lots of dark passageways and corridoors. One of Banksy's close friends was chatting away with anecdotes from various screens dotted around the exhibition. And I couldn't help notice a hooded figure in the corner of one particularly dark section. I love how Banksy rolls, he's done so well maintaining his secret identity and creating a real enigma around his actions and passionate yearning to change the world for the better. So here are a few of those pictures - well known and not so well known.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiy_B431gxQh8o8ReKxH7FT3cRlC81DV-8ZC7haJMptJYT1gMqPbFgkESzqcle-1-xJBswWZddfmoRAVvJtIVAUh2qftLn0E1AS7irs_3PZtNj_BGIfIGXe1T2pTvREAjkgqgENY3c9lGyvkCD0KkcxoHbvljDGhGW70IXb2BID5QVM4_kpABMef-p4=s3264" style="margin-left: auto;

Winterthur play against SC Kriens yesterday afternoon at the Schützenwiese. As I
stood in the sunshine sipping an afternoon beer, listening to the cheers and
good-humoured banter all around me, I wondered if there was ever a better way
to spend a Sunday afternoon? <div><br /></div><div>Especially with the end result of 3-0 to enjoy
(although it should have been 5-0 – two absolute sitters were missed with a
rush of blood to the head!)<o:p></o:p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">We are seriously considering obtaining a season ticket – at around
200 CHF it seems an absolute bargain. Winti FC are in the Challenge League, the
second tier of Swiss football. Local football really is the bees-knees. There
was no shortage of children there too, so also perfect for familes – and the
kids also have their own ‘Syrup corner’ – their own stand with balloons, drums
and free drinks!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Match report:</b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><i>Goal scorers: 11. Harambasic, 61./81.

fanbase lords over the other teams in the Challenge League) enjoyed a
resounding triumph on the day.</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><i>However, despite the easy
looking result on paper, it was no easy ride for FCW. Kriens were in fighting
spirit, especially in the first half when FCW struggled to maintain the
precision required to dominate the game and convert their efforts into goals.
Indeed, their first goal advantage was an own-goal by central defender Ivan
Harambasic with a deflected a shot from Tobias Schättin. Kriens went on to create
a few good chances but thanks to FCW goalie Raphael Spiegel, the hosts held onto
a narrow 1-0 lead at half-time. </i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><i>The second half brought drama
aplenty as fans watched in horror as striker Neftalie Manzambi was stretchered
off the field with severe back pain. Fortunately his substitute Samuel Ballet came
on with fire in his loins, scoring the second goal in the 61<sup>st</sup>
minute when he dribbled around the goalie and dinked the ball in from a tight
angle. Ballet also scored the third, steaming towards the goal with a </i></span><i style="font-size: 16px;">beautifully timed midfield</i><i style="font-size: 12pt;"> pass
from Captain Granit Lekaj to find his target with precision. </i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><i>Ballet did seem to provide the turning point in this game - </i></span><i style="font-size: 16px;">he played with great verve and never looked like he was going to miss when one-on-one with the keeper, such was his confidence. In addition, </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">FCW could have easily
converted this to 5-0 – two absolute sitters into an open goal failed to
materialise to the mirth and amusement of the crowd. Despite the high drama </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">and consternation at times of the fans </i><i style="font-size: 12pt;">the result saw them in a
forgiving mood as FCW nudged itself back up to second place in the league.
With a win on Friday at Vaduz the team will be top dog once more and in fine
celebratory mood come the weekend.</i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://fcwinterthur.ch/">fcwinterthur.ch</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.20min.ch/video/winterthur-spieler-schiesst-den-ball-aus-einem-meter-an-die-latte-927748138725">Match highlights</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04989829500956723872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435024346302357961.post-1203981689192222022022-01-29T11:09:00.004+00:002022-01-29T11:11:47.134+00:00Happy New Year 2022!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAL6YT-2IMOJyq6ktKofxU2D-e1f_-iz-AWn3hCHQlz2guPckmb_G8XoNeuwPR3DEED1x9P0AJWIK2hw1LGFTO1BQbpOHeYQe4FLnqog2XaLeYKgqOxyiEtgpS9F6iFxemHnUk6s50uxdCBsvr4zyEn8sOD9G7jK2hA7hgA5n_WW8lzVLjA5zrQg5k=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2128" data-original-width="4608" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAL6YT-2IMOJyq6ktKofxU2D-e1f_-iz-AWn3hCHQlz2guPckmb_G8XoNeuwPR3DEED1x9P0AJWIK2hw1LGFTO1BQbpOHeYQe4FLnqog2XaLeYKgqOxyiEtgpS9F6iFxemHnUk6s50uxdCBsvr4zyEn8sOD9G7jK2hA7hgA5n_WW8lzVLjA5zrQg5k=w400-h185" width="400" /></a></div><br /> A little late but actually a little premature for the Chinese New Year (1st Feb) We've had a few days of snow and I caught this beautiful shot while waiting for the bus into Winti one crisp and frosty morning.

November jeden Freitag- und Samstagabend stattfindet. Es war ein magischer Spaziergang, der nur von Kerzen und Lichterketten mit wunderschönen Lichtinstallationen entlang des Weges beleuchtet wurde. Unter anderem gab es ein Pilzhaus, einen Hai, hypnotisierende Figuren, die in leuchtenden Farben von Blau, Rot und Grün kamen und gingen und eine wunderschöne Lichtinstallation auf dem verschneiten Waldboden. Zum Abschluss gab es eine herzliche Begrüßung mit Feuer, Ambient-Musik und einer Glühweinbar.</p><p><i>Künstler: Nicole Chenevard / Monica Koch, Katharina Henking, Hans Frischknecht, Hubus, LETO, Vivi Linnemann, Ulti, Erwin Schatzmann, Martin Schmid Caiazzo, Kathrin Severin, Marion Strunk, Spike, Conny Wepfer.</i></p><p>Die Inspiration hinter der Ausstellung wird als solche beschrieben:</p><p><i>Im mystischen Königstal kann am Abend ein ca.1km langer Weg begangen werden,
durchs Bannholz dem Zellerbach entlang bis Nähe des Giessens, es ist ein winterliches
Erlebnis für die ganze Familie, ein Staunen und Sich freuen Lichtobjekte in der
Dunkelheit zu entdecken.
In der düsteren Jahreszeit, inmitten des Winters, können sich Besucher verzaubern
lassen durch die Stimmung im dunklen Wald und die künstlerischen Installationen und
Licht-Interventionen welche eine individuelle Poesie entfalten.
Die Ausstellung im Wald kann Bezug nehmen zur Geschichte der Umgebung.
Ziele der Ausstellung: Einen Diskurs anzustossen zwischen den Besuchern und
Künstlern, ein Miteinander, ein Entdecken von Kunst in der Natur, sich Unbekanntem
gegenüber öffnen. Kunst erforschen auf einer Freilicht- Bühne, inmitten des nächtlichen
Waldes, an einem rauschenden Bach.
Das sich verändernde Licht in der Dunkelheit erleben, die sog.“Blaue Stunde“, ein
diffuses Dämmerlicht wodurch sich die Sinne öffnen. Dunkelheit, Schatten, Silhouetten,
Konturen der Bäume und Geräusche werden intensiver wahrgenommen, wie auch die
punktuell erleuchteten künstlerischen Interventionen. Alle Sinne schärfen sich und
zugleich werden sie empfindsamer und zentrierter.
Der Erlebnisweg sensibilisiert für Natur, Licht und Kunst.</i></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://www.kulturschmittezell.ch" target="_blank">kulturschmittezell.ch</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Erwin Schatzmann will be exhibiting his work alongside that of fellow wood
carver and thinker Wilhelm Lehmann at a beautiful location in

Kobesenmühle he could view the world critically
from a distance. When he died in 1974 at the age of 90 he left behind an
impressive, diverse array of work including root carvings, sculptures in wood
and tuff, drawings, woodcuts and texts of various kinds that can be viewed in
the exhibition.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Erwin Schatzmann is
best known as the creator of monumental, colourfully painted wooden figures from
which he has made a living for more than 30 years from his studio Morgenland in
Hegi. Morgenland is an evolving kind of settlement serving as a place to live,
work and exhibit. In his capacity as a social sculptor, thinker and art animator
Erwin spends a large part of his working time on the structural development of
this site using reclaimed and recycled materials and his simple way of life
leaves behind a very little carbon footprint. Around town he is easily recognized
by his extravagant, self-made clothes, which he uses as a form of communication
and as part of his work. He has also published a book, <i>Unverblümt,</i> on his thoughts and philosophy of a diverse range of
subjects from love and nature to politics, religion and death.</p><p></p>

This mountain is incredibly easy to find - you take the Rüti train from Gleis 2 at Winterthur Hauptbahnhof and just 40 minutes later you can begin your walk, right from the platform at Steg im Tösstal! It took us a couple of hours to climb to the top, passing llamas, piglets and chickens with funky hairdos on the way and we enjoyed a lovely picnic at the top. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone of average fitness. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgttKxbgKJ3NkFh5m6f8xbTCfzarD1gejOfM1rolLDGOQZipe0peyhFIqG2qZwLGC9kWcmuZNTdCtjIORBpuYOz0VWWC3Dw3llBURszGUs8Tyk62rYy7K54r_Ngt6ogqkMYYhLdLYwGfDY/s2048/20210225_125223.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgttKxbgKJ3NkFh5m6f8xbTCfzarD1gejOfM1rolLDGOQZipe0peyhFIqG2qZwLGC9kWcmuZNTdCtjIORBpuYOz0VWWC3Dw3llBURszGUs8Tyk62rYy7K54r_Ngt6ogqkMYYhLdLYwGfDY/w400-h300/20210225_125223.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzC7zuBgx1xHtvIfhdMAxMsDzErsRrY5YJE58HjU6ep2-fJjKeWyyvP66tFwb6RkwvIvt47Un31slpMIKNqs_qbi_JKSs_R9Doj-eOl1YUSGKQZKhchHTOds-EkXF3bxhUOeGu7X6obYQ/s2048/20210225_125442.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzC7zuBgx1xHtvIfhdMAxMsDzErsRrY5YJE58HjU6ep2-fJjKeWyyvP66tFwb6RkwvIvt47Un31slpMIKNqs_qbi_JKSs_R9Doj-eOl1YUSGKQZKhchHTOds-EkXF3bxhUOeGu7X6obYQ/w400-h300/20210225_125442.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisOzdwDnEqZI5sK-p8xU8sujq-t_0BANtsXy74KXWJ9VWhjLTIi5zom8QV8y9GCh-ooXxnlVEcjDdTWPVEseh4mYso2E_twjCxNWTLUXEqRBSvQICL8GD8BfhV0svPl1hpmx9s6k9hLpQ/s2048/20210225_130653.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisOzdwDnEqZI5sK-p8xU8sujq-t_0BANtsXy74KXWJ9VWhjLTIi5zom8QV8y9GCh-ooXxnlVEcjDdTWPVEseh4mYso2E_twjCxNWTLUXEqRBSvQICL8GD8BfhV0svPl1hpmx9s6k9hLpQ/w300-h400/20210225_130653.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1_5R78NCdg-zjuld9SnzQl1WiCAPPMrIXLSUcjackMbMFnG4GUhLE4CK0Ca9xovTDSY7PprLr6h06Com-aWoNw01XyHI0FPOUGW-1XG2E3fSarzY7hOQ1BcQauZFhJVYXsCxOQcbvWzs/s2048/20210225_134353.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1_5R78NCdg-zjuld9SnzQl1WiCAPPMrIXLSUcjackMbMFnG4GUhLE4CK0Ca9xovTDSY7PprLr6h06Com-aWoNw01XyHI0FPOUGW-1XG2E3fSarzY7hOQ1BcQauZFhJVYXsCxOQcbvWzs/w300-h400/20210225_134353.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXtSsELIaWNnTgYWEX3yd1nCSImVvVTYbvCzYd461-VMDRCyHQL93cQXyVLGbOpE9yF4n5ddUx8SuDIpMW4xga8Gf5UTv8xz4Sub6r00jIhjq5VUH7zn2XASK8yttulqHbTY4C3j0B3rM/s2048/20210225_142829.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1552" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXtSsELIaWNnTgYWEX3yd1nCSImVvVTYbvCzYd461-VMDRCyHQL93cQXyVLGbOpE9yF4n5ddUx8SuDIpMW4xga8Gf5UTv8xz4Sub6r00jIhjq5VUH7zn2XASK8yttulqHbTY4C3j0B3rM/w303-h400/20210225_142829.jpg" width="303" /></a></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04989829500956723872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435024346302357961.post-37775169269681300182021-03-01T15:14:00.005+00:002021-03-01T15:14:32.006+00:00Learning languages at Winterthur Library<p>Winterthur Library is open - and it has a fabulous Language Section on the 2nd floor, with a whole host of fiction for learning languages, from classics to crime novels, from A1 upwards.

These are very stressful times and we all need to find time to enjoy our little pleasures in life. One of mine is painting. I follow an art page online which lays down regular challenges. The latest is to paint anything beginning with the letter B. Weirdly, the first word that came to my mind beginning with B was baboon. Although a baboon did feature in one of my favourite Spike Milligan poems when I was little and I thought this is a painting that will make me smile.

Pfanne vor dem Start richtig heiß wird. Die Butter muss brutzeln, sobald sie in
die Pfanne kommt. Verstehen Sie das falsch und Sie werden in Schwierigkeiten

einer ziemlich glanzlosen Herbstpause zur Schule zurückkehrten (wir sollten vor
Corona zum Haus unseres Freundes in Costa Rica gehen, aber die Stopper darauf) </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE">Also ja, Pfannkuchen waren erforderlich - und sie gearbeitet - heute morgen gab

pretty big day in the UK – I have an earlier post about this <a href="http://littleswissobserver.blogspot.com/2016/02/put-past-behind-you-and-enjoy-pancake.html">here</a>. But over
time, especially since the kiddies came along, we have turned pancakes into a
more regular treat, for instance on birthdays, and in particular the last day
of the holidays. <div><br /></div><div>Pancakes are the easiest thing in the world to do, as long as
you get the pan truly HOT before starting. The butter must be sizzling as soon
as it hits the pan. Get this wrong and you are in trouble. We had pancakes for
breakfast this morning before the girls return to school after a pretty
lacklustre Herbstferien (we were due to go to our friend’s house in Costa Rica
before Corona put the brakes on that idea) </div><div><br /></div><div>So yes, pancakes were required – and they
