Preživeli poletje Survivors of the summer

Bilo je vroče, celo neznansko vroče,
a preživeli smo!
Glede na mraz in pogled na koledar,
ki nam pravi, da je danes zadnji avgustovski dan,
se poletje sedaj očitno zares poslavlja.

It was hot, even immensely hot,
but we survived!
Considering the cold and a look at the calendar
telling us it’s the last day of August,
it seems that the summer
is now saying goodbye for real.

Na krožniku so ostanki od priprave tega obroka
in ribice z zelo starih AVGUSTvarjanja slik na steklu.On the plate are remains of this meal's preparation
and little fish from very old AVGUSTvarjanja paintings on glass.

Nočni razgled Night view

Hladna, vendar lepa noč na Ljubljanskem gradu,
po ogledu gledališke predstave,
Katarininem rojstnodnevnem darilu.

Chilly, yet beautiful night on Ljubljanski grad
(Ljubljana’s Castle)

a birthday gift from Katarina.

Po Logatcu Around Logatec

Takó! Najino enotedensko bivanje v Logatcu se je končalo.
Tukaj so slikice, ko se potepava
po tem simpatičnem notranjskem mestecu;

Takó! Our one week stay in Logatec came to an end.
Here are few pictures from us
wandering around this cute little town:

Izrezana sva s te slike na steklu.

We are cut out of this glass painting.

Ingverjevo pivo Ginger beer

Včeraj sva imela v Logatcu dodatno poznopoletno
malo rojstnodnevno zabavo za nekatere zamudnike,
ki so končno prišli s počitnic.

Yesterday we had an additional
late-summer mini birthday party in Logatec
for some people who missed the first one
because they were away on holidays.

rožice je nabrala Dolores, vstopnici za eno od predstav
festivala Komedija pod zvezdami pa nama je podarila Katarina;
flowers were picked by Dolores and tickets for one of the shows
of the festival Comedy under the stars on Ljubljana's castle
were a gift from Katarina:

Moja sestra naju je razveselila
z eno najinih najljubših sladic – njenim slavnim tiramisujem!
My sister made us very happy by bringing her famous tiramisu,
one of our favourite desserts!

Tokrat sva pripravila ingverjevo pivo.
Sestavine zanj nama je že sredi julijakot darilo prinesla Mirova sestra.
Recept zanj od Jamieja Oliverja sva preizkusila že pred leti,
tokrat sva ponovila po spominu.

This time we prepared ginger beer.We got ingredients for this drink as a birthday present
in the middle of July from Miro’s sister.
We tried this recipe from Jamie Oliver few years ago already,
but this time we repeated it as we remembered it.

Ingver naribaš, potreseš s sladkorjem in dodaš nasekljane
limonine lupinice, pretolčeš v možnarju,
pustiš, da se vse prepoji in dodaš še limonin sok.
Precediš in dodaš gazirano vodo, vejice sveže mete
in pripravljen imaš okusen osvežilni napitek!

You grate ginger root, add sugar and chopped lemon peel.
You grind everything in a mortar,
leave everything to mix together and add lemon juice.
Then strain it, add soda water and fresh mint
and here you have a delicious refreshing drink!

Žalost Sadness

Oranžno-črna pasja žalost na vrhu stopnic,
tuhtajoč, če so jo lastniki zapustili za vedno. :)

Orange-black dog sadness at the top of a staircase,
wondering if owners left her for good. :)

Današnji delovni kotiček Today's workplace

Moje začasno delovno tihožitje
z napihnjeno rožo in slastnim avokadom;

My temporary work still-life
with inflated flower and delicious avocado:

Nagajivo srce Naughty heart

Takole je bilo:
zadnjič nas je Urška povabila na ledeno kavo
in Miro mi je narisal srček;

This is how it all went:
the other day Urška invited us for ice coffee
and Miro drew me a heart:

Ni minilo niti par sekund...

Not even a few seconds passed...

... ko je to srce dobilo sumljivo novo obliko;

... when this heart got a real suspicious new shape:

Smeha je bilo seveda obilo! :)

Of course there was plenty of laughter! :)

Balon in golf Balloon and golf

Včeraj pozno popoldne sem šla z Mirom
in njegovo balonarsko ekipo na Otočec.

Yesterday late afternoon I went with Miro
and his balloon team to Otočec
in the south-east corner of Slovenia.

Na tamkajšnjem golf igrišču so ob Dnevih golfa 2010
postavili balon in dvigovali golfiste in druge obiskovalce,
ki so si zaželeli malo drugačne zabave.

On its local golf course they set up the balloon
at 2010 Days of golf and they were lifting up golf players
or other visitors who wanted a little extra fun.

Postregli so nas z osvežilnimi napitki;

We were being served with some refreshing cocktails:

Hribovsko kosilo Mountain Lunch

Po občudovanju čudovitega Mozirskega gaja
pa smo se zapeljali še na 1356 m n.m.
do Mozirske koče na Golteh,
kjer smo si privoščili odlično kosilo;


After enjoying beautiful park Mozirski gaj
we drove up to 1356 meters a.s.l. to
Mozirska koča (Mozirje mountain hut) on Golte plateau
to have a delicious lunch:

Gornjegrajska cerkev Gornji Grad church

Na poti do Mozirskega gaja smo si ogledali še
cerkev sv. Mohorja in Fortunata v Gornjem Gradu.

Katedrala, ki je pravi baročni biser,
je največja cerkev v Sloveniji.


On the way to Mozirski gaj we took a quick look at
church of sv. Mohor in Fortunat (st. Hermagor and Fortunat)
in Gornji Grad.

This cathedral, which is a real baroque pearl,
is the largest church in Slovenia.
