Day #24 Yesterday evening, after a hard day’s work, I went to Schützenmatte, a park in Basel. In the warmer seasons it is always packed with young families, young people playing all kind of games and old people from the senior citizen home close to it. This summer there is another kind of attraction organised by Klaus Littmann: Skultur II …
A Day In The Life … A Beautiful Autumn Afternoon
Day #23 Do you feel guilty when you take time off from your busy schedule to do something just for yourself? Honestly, I have mixed feelings about it but not today. Not after having worked all morning and early afternoon. Such glorious early autumn weather, freezing mornings with a hint of fog, the sun’s late start slowly heats up …
A Day In The Life … Some Studies And A Hilly Town Walk
Day #21 This morning after I had finished labelling all my jars with the “old” labels, I started the InDesign tutorials. For years I have wanted to use InDesign, the DTP software by Adobe Systems, but it costs a fortune and I doubted I could use its full potential (hell, I do not even use 5 % of my …
A Day In The Life … An Evening Walk
Day #19 Today I meant to tell you something about InDesign, the professional DTP program by Adobe. This will be for another day, instead I went for a walk with my friend and her dog on Bruderholz near Basel. Bruderholz used to be my favourite place to go walking with Chica all these years. It is here that I …
A Day In The Life … On The Road Again: Route 65
Day #14 I spent a very lazy Saturday, not doing much. I think I deserve a break after all the work I have accomplished last week! In the evening we went to a music club near Basel, Rockfact, for a startup concert by a new country band, Route 65. Rockfact in Münchenstein Seven highly talented musicians, practically all amateurs, took …
A Day In The Life Of … Farmer Market in Lörrach
Day 5 It is one of those perfect days in late summer: the nights are relatively cool, in the early morning the sun is slowly warming up, not to be compared to the searing heat of July and August. What bliss to enjoy a cappuccino outside in front of the market! Have you noticed how the light has changed? Look …
A Day in the Life of … Going Artsy
Day 2 Do you like art? Yes, then let me introduce you to my friend, Lilian Andrée Dietlin. She has successfully run her Galerie Lilian Andrée for 30 years. Her exquisite gallery is close to the famous Fondation Beyeler in Riehen, a suburb of Basel. When you are in Basel, make sure to drop in and say hello. And let yourself be …
Some Circus And More
Art Basel 43 And Circus Knie Sometimes I have the impression I live in a quiet small town where nothing ever happens, at other times I am looking at all the activities simultaneously taking place and my head is spinning. June is the month when two major events take place at the same time and next to each other at …
What Does A Market Have In Common With Marketing?
Everything is off to a good start: the sun is showing its face for the first time in days, it is freezing cold on this early morning, but there is an air of spring in the air. Saturday: it is my first market in 2013, Bärlauchmarkt in Basel. I am well prepared and full of anticipation we set out with a …
Looking Back … February 2013
The last (full) month of winter, sometimes it seems like it drags on and on and on … The same grey skies, fresh fallen snow or grey slosh in the streets, low hanging clouds, the sun hiding and there is ever so little light. Cherry trees on Bruderholz And just when you think “I cannot take it any …
