@ver_schaf das sieht super aus, das wird 🐈‍⬛ gefallen 😹

Ich freu mich sehr über mein neues Bankerl auf der Loggia 🛋️🪴🤩

@ninkibah hmm marriage as a way to procure more baked goods! i have to keep that in mind 😅😍

@ehscho I am blessed to have worked in Böblingen, to be married to a wife who is an amazing baker, but these cakes in this hotel are the best I have tasted.

This morning's cake of the day at Mamaison. An ode to textures and flavours. Their pastry chef deserves an award.

@BexBookaholic @WomensPrize i really enjoyed this one from the list, quite a unique mix of mystery and nature writing

My second @WomensPrize shortlisted book for 2026 and I feel like I've been punched in the stomach. An emotional exploration of first love, grief and the myriad ways we betray each other as humans, this is a worthy nomination

This is a German reliquary shaped like a three-legged fish from approximately 900-1350 CE.

@ninkibah i had the san sebastián cheesecake again on the weekend 😬 this develops a bit into a saturday habit

@ehscho Plus a coffee and a slice of Sachertorte afterwards?

There are worse ways to spend a Monday evening 😬 Beautiful choral works with a focus on Romantic music and a nice twist: the program was only handed out afterwards.

@Gentle_masc reading does too :) 📚

Yoga decreases cortisol. Walking decreases cortisol. Hugging decreases cortisol. Laughing decreases cortisol. Gratitude decreases cortisol. Journaling decreases cortisol. Being kind decreases cortisol. Meditating decreases cortisol. Time in nature decreases cortisol. Helping others decreases cortisol. Slow breathing decreases cortisol. Getting sunlight decreases cortisol. Listening to music decreases cortisol. Limiting phone use decreases cortisol. Petting your dog/cat decreases cortisol. Getting enough sleep decreases cortisol.

@somethings_awry wow that looks so creamy and fun!

Lavender London fog tiramisu with a lavender and shaved chocolate garnish

@bertsbooks Just started this one and I’m very curious to see what unfolds from such an unusual setting.

What's everyone reading this weekend?

@anishgiri probably the most important thing happening to you this year!

Imagine discovering pistachio ice cream at the age of 31.

@gmmds Ah thank you – perfect timing after the Candidates, I suddenly have some space in my social calendar again

@ehscho This is a lovely performance I have to say: youtu.be/d-M4UznmeCA

And in a follow-up proud uncle post, my second-oldest nephew Markus is giving a piano 🎹 recital at the Bechstein Hall in London on 21st May! 😊 bechsteinhall.com/events/markus-…

@gmmds Ah they seem to thrive :) Glad mine are still 8 and 12 😬

@ehscho 😊😊 Still adjusting to them being adults making their way in the world. Kinda still see them as 7 years old 😊😊

Proud uncle moment 😊 My nephew and godson Johannes has just published his first scientific paper 😊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

@gmmds I don’t know this composer yet – I’ll have to give it a listen. I’ve been a bit lost in Bach lately 😊

@ehscho He’s also the pianist in Peebles (Scotland) tonight in a concert featuring the Rebecca Clarke violin sonata (also lovely!)

@dgriffinchess @EmilSutovsky fantastic, the tournament was held in two locations: The first four rounds were conducted at the Semmering, and then moved to Baden bei Wien for the duration of the tournament. World champion Max Euwe served as chief arbiter for the first half relieved by Rudolph Spielmann

@ehscho @EmilSutovsky x.com/dgriffinchess/…

Gukesh-Sindarov will be an epic clash. The youngest ever for the biggest Title in chess. Two amazing players. Two real fighters. Courageous. Energetic. Determined. Composed. Both rely heavily on their outstanding calculation ability. But there are significant differences of course. And the one who brings the betrer version of himself for the Match will prevail. In the coming week FIDE will be busy reviewing the options for the location. Dates are set at the end of November - first half of December. Question for the fans: Of course, India and/or Uzbekistan are two logical options. But if not there, where would you see it proper to be hosted?

@SchachNotizen achso das ist eine stunde von wien und nicht sonderlich hoch gelegen. in dem ort gab es auch letztes jahr ein turnier im südbahnhotel mit dem big greek, der kommt ja aus der ebene 😬 instagram.com/p/DQMigyoCNgR/…

@ehscho Ich finde die Idee auch charmant. Allerdings würde mich aus praktischer Sicht die Frage interessieren, ob die Höhenluft die Leistungsfähigkeit der Spieler beeinträchtigt.

Thomas Mann läßt grüßen. Warum nicht das kommende WM-Match vor prächtiger Kulisse in einem Kurort in den Alpen ausspielen? #Zauberberg #Schach
