Snowflake Challenge - Day 1

Day 1

In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

My happiest happy place is at conventions, or meeting up with my fandom friends.  These are the times and places where I feel like I am surrounded by people who 'get' me, and I don't ever feel like I have to put up any shutters or pretence.  I feel like I can truly be 'me'.

Also, there is a nice coffee shop in the village where I live, which turns into a wine bar on Friday evenings.  This is where Mr Dizzo and I go after work on Fridays to reconnect, and chill out over a glass of wine and some delicious antipasti.  It's our ritual to mark the end of our working week.  It's where we go to just be together and chat; no TV, no laptops, no phones … just us.

A question for my German friends...

Mr D found this little article on the BBC website today, and it's about a German new year obsession with a very short, obscure English/German film.  It's not something either of us have ever heard of and it seems like a really cute, fun little story.

We were just curious about how much truth there is in the story, (I mean, this is the internet after all!)  So I thought I'd ask the people really in the know!  Is this something any of you are aware of, or that you take part in?  I'd love to know :)
