Had a lovely birthday with me family. We'd planned an excursion, but niece is a bit ill, so we stayed at my brother's. Was very nice, and I got home at a humane hour, because I slept like crap last night. There was no real cake for obvious reasons - but my awesome sister-in-law created a "deconstructed" black forest cake with chocolate muffin (hers are the best!), cherries, cream and chocolate ice cream. Yum!

Created my annual mix - 25 songs I heard first this year (not necessarily new), no artist more than once. This year new with Asian pop! :)

I love pre-code movies! It Happened One Night, for example, is one of my all-time favourites, but just now I rewatched Design for Living, which is a delight. It's got a canon polyamorous triad at its centre - its ending would still be considered progressive today.

After losing my custom aro-ace ring during my summer vacation, I kept my eyes open for a replacement. Apparently, a black ring on your middle finger (albeit on the right hand but that doesn't really suit me) is a symbol for #asexuality, and I figured I'd combine it with a green one for aromantic. They're stone & very comfy to wear. Gotta let my #queer flag fly! 😎

Just spent the afternoon with my mom, doing a guided tour of a hydropower plant - organising these is actually my job, but this week one of the turbines is dry, so we got a special bts view...

I'm back in Switzerland - last week was a dream and I had no desire at all for anything internet. Didn't even post any photos to Instagram, only checked my email a couple of times. Felt good! Now I'm very happy to have the rest of the week off, too, since I don't feel like going back to work at all. :)

And how are things with you guys?

I... didn't know Wang Yibo looking rather fay with a blonde bob would be a Thing for me. But yes. Definitely a Thing, who'd have thunk. And boy, can he move!

Verona yesterday was incredibly pretty (if touristy). Skipping the con was definitely a good idea. ;) Today we're back on our regularly scheduled fangirling, though, which will also be loads of fun, I'm sure.

Went back to the con this morning, to see Seb's panel and catch some people I met yesterday. Now heading into Rome for a bit of a wander around, since the weather is beautiful, the con hotel has a free shuttle and I'm already here. :)

Got all my extras and caught a couple of panels (via screen, as access to panel room costs extra). Highlight was obviously the photo with SebStan, but I also fell a little in love with Ricky Whittle, who's a gorgeous goofball. And being one of only a handful of cosplayers I met so many people & never had to wait around alone. Might actually go back for a few hours tomorrow. No more extras though, need to be a responsible adult & remember that I'll have to pay for my laptop repair next week. :)

This con is so tiny, compared to what I'm used to, but hey, I found a Bucky (and apparently there's a Cap around somewhere)!

If anyone's into Lucifer or late Buffy - today at the con I got to enjoy a lovely laid-back meet & greet with D.B. Woodwise today! 🤩

Fellow #guardian fans, look what came in the mail today! I don't wear a lot of necklaces, but I love stealth fandom. 😍

Okay, so I think that's as close as I can get - I can report that he's tall (taller than his security) and that he definitely needs said security.
I also took advantage of local privilege and followed into the hotel, but was a sane human being and went to the loo instead after him up the stairs. :)

Yeah, so the Chopard booth at Baselworld is by appointment only. There's a whole bunch of Chinese girls camped out in front of it.
