Last weekend was a lonely weekend, in which I mainly stayed indoors to read or watch youtube. I only motivated myself to go out of my room once the whole weekend on Saturday to go to the supermarket to buy food. Because I thought I also had to do something nice while being out, I went to a little church next to the supermarket to snap a picture:

Even though I don't mind a weekend on my own, it gets a bit lonely when every weekend is like that. So, my goals for this weekend were to:
1. Not be alone
2. Do something nice apart from reading a book alone in my room
3. Say 'yes' to anything, because sometimes you have to get over yourself and just do it

I think I succeeded.

During the Friday beers I made some new friends and got to know other people that I met last week better. When we got hungry, we (= S., Z., A., and me) went to a place called Zähringer for dinner. Lovely. Then, it was suggested by Z. to go bouldering on Saturday. I had never heard of that, but apparently it is indoor climbing, without being attached to ropes or anything. That didn't sound at all like my cup of tea, but, in order to achieve my goals (and because it did sound very interesting and I was curious, as always), I said yes.

So, on Saturday we (= Z., A., and me) went bouldering. As it turns out: it is actually pretty cool! Apart from the fact that I am now sorer than I'd thought I'd ever be, it was really fun!

An impression:

Z. is doing the orange track. I am actually very proud of this shot.

Me, being my usual graceful self, attempting to climb the yellow track. At least I'm not sitting on the ground, right? (although I did that a lot too :p)

Z., me and A.. Yes, we were actually there together!

After this nice activity, we wanted to do something a bit more relaxed, so we went to Winterthur, because there was(/is) a music festival there.

A beautiful church in Winterthur.

We arrived a bit too early for the music shows, so we opted to have dinner first. We went to a place called Grepery, where you can eat crêpes. I had the Ursula crêpe:

Are you jealous, yet? It was really good. The crêpes that Z. and A. had also looked very good, and the price is very reasonable for Swiss dining out, so I definitely recommend the place!

Then, the music started. The first band we went to was.. well.. okay, I guess? It wasn't really catchy. However, here is proof that we actually were there:

The next band however (at a different stage), was much, much better! They were very young (like 14 or something), but that didn't stop A. and me from fangirling a little bit. We stayed during their entire performance.

So, that was a lovely Saturday. Now I think I earned a lovely, relaxed Sunday with reading and laundry and maybe netflix, if I can get it to work. Sounds like a plan?

I love bouldering. I miss climbing; I really want to take Humuhumu to do it as she's an enthusiastic and fearless climber.

Also, I am totally jealous of that crepe.

I applaud you! And you definitely earned a relaxed Sunday.
