Medsosedski incident Inter-neighboural incident

Miro je včeraj pri zalivanju vrta kar konkretno (in, kot je rekel, ponesreči, ker ga je hecala črpalka) zalil sosedo na drugi strani ograje in to takoj po tem, ko si je reva umila lase in naredila pričesko.

Na srečo je bila nežna deževnica in gospa mu seveda ni zamerila, že tako ali tako, ker je pač zelo prijazna, mislim pa, da ga je še posebej rešilo dejstvo, da ji je ravno malo pred tem na njeno prošnjo razlagal en recept. :)

No, nesrečnega medsoseskega incidenta, ki je vključeval tudi smeh nekaterih navzočih sosedov :), nisem posnela, sem pa zato nebo nad cerkniško cerkvijo nekaj dni pred tem.

Yesterday when Miro was watering the garden he concretely (and, as he said, accidentally, because he had problems with the pump) watered also our neighbour across the fence, just after the poor lady washed and made her hair.

Luckily it was gentle rain water and of course she didn’t resent him, because she is a very nice person, but the fact, that just before it all happened he was explaining to her one of the recipes she wanted to know, saved him, too, I believe. :)

Well, I haven’t photographed the unfortunate inter-neighboural incident which included also laughter of some other neighbours :), but I did take a picture of the sky above the church in Cerknica a few days earlier instead.

Najdeno ob poti Found by the road

Sklop treh krasnih starih stavb na Dolenjskem.

A set of three beautiful old buildings in Dolenjska region.

Ravnokar sem šla v kuhinjo, vrgla oko na testo iz tritikalne moke
za kruh, ki ga Miro dela, in videla tole. :)

I just went to kitchen, noticed the dough from triticale flour
for bread Miro is making and saw this. :)

Veselostno Merrily

Zaradi tlorisa triperesne deteljice je zelška cerkvica, ta renesančni arhitekturni spomenik, ki ga je v svoji Slavi vojvodine Kranjske omenjal že Valvasor, kako blagodejen vpliv da ima, edinstven v Sloveniji in spokojno kraljuje sredi širnih notranjskih poletnih travnikov.

Tam mi je Miro nabral najlepši šopek, ki sva ga potem zataknila za brisalec in veselostnega srca odbrzela naprej.

Because of the three-leaf clover ground plan the Zelše church is unique in Slovenia. It is a renaissance monument reigning in the middle of beautiful summer meadows in Notranjska region and was mentioned already in one of the most famous books in our literature history, written by Valvasor, saying that the church has beneficial effects.

In that beautiful place Miro picked the loveliest little bouquet for me, which we later stuck behind windshield wiper and merrily drove forward.

Iskrice Sparkles

Ko naju je, sklepam, da, avtor postavitve v odprtem avditoriju na ploščadi pred SEM-om povabil, naj prideva dol in tudi midva prižgeva kakšno svečko za čakajoče jajčke-lampijončke, sva to seveda z veseljem storila, a potem so se Miru oči zasvetile kot otroku in ga ni bilo za ustaviti. :) Res, lepo je bilo za opazovati, tako lampijončke kot Mira.

[No, Miru se je tistega dne sploh dogajalo. :)]

When the author of this installation invited us to come down to participate in lighting a candle or two for the waiting egg-lampions, we did it by a great pleasure, but then Miro got sparkles in his eyes, like a child, and one could not have stopped him. :) Really, it was beautiful to watch, both lampions and Miro.

[Well, there was a lot of going on for Miro in general that day. :)]

Poletje pred poletjem Summer before summer

Sredi junija je bila Poletna muzejska noč, kljub temu da takrat uradno sicer še ni poletje.
Pa koga to briga, če ga znajo tako lepo pričarati. Med drugimi smo obiskali tudi SEM.

In the middle of June there was the annual Museum Summer Night,
even though in the time of the event is not officially summer yet.
But who cares if they can bring us that magical summer feeling so well.
Among others we visited SEM.

Vulkan! Volcano!

Res nisem vedela, da imamo v Sloveniji tudi vulkan! :)
[drugače je pa to najvišja gora, na katero mi je do zdaj uspelo priplezati]

I had no idea we have a volcano here in Slovenia! :)
[but let's get serious - it is the highest mountain I have climbed so far]

Sedem let skomin Seven years itch

Po skoraj (že?!) sedmih letih jadralskega premora sva si šla minuli konec tedna ogledat zaključne plove na letošnjem državnem prvenstvu v fireballu, tokrat za spremembo ne na morju, temveč na Velenjskem jezeru. Aaah, sva si šla zbujat tekmovalske skomine!

Zadnje čase vse pogosteje sanjariva o tem, da bi barčico, ki sameva na vrtu in jo je že načel zob časa in tudi mladostniški Zojin zob, heh, čisto zares!, ponovno usposobila; res, ko imaš vsega poln kufer, kako blagodejni so bili takile vikendaški odklopi.

O, lej, vidim naju!, drenjajoča se v gneči drugih jadrničk, na eni od starih fotk na naslovnici prenovljene spletne strani! :)

Mimogrede, letos septembra bo v Portorožu evropsko in svetovno prvenstvo.

After almost (already?!) seven years of sailing pause we went to see the final races of Slovenian Fireball Nationals last weekend, this time not at the sea for a change, but at a mainland lake at Velenje. Aaah, it was so nostalgically tempting watching them racing!

Lately we are daydreaming more often about getting our little sleeping boat in the garden back in shape. It is destroyed by the tooth of time, as we say here, and also by the adolescent Zoja’s tooth, heh, I'm not kidding!, really, those times, when you've had it up to there - it is nothing better than a weekend switch off like that.

Oh, look, I can see us, Miro and me, sailing somewhere in the crowd in one of the front page old cover photos in the renewed website! :)

By the way, Fireball Europeans and Worlds will be in September in Portorož.

Slučajno If it happens

Plečnikova cerkev v Črni vasi je vedno dobra izbira,
če se čisto slučajno ob lepem sončnem poznem popoldnevu potikaš po Barju.

Plečnik's church in Črna vas is always a good choice to admire, if it happens
that in a sunny late afternoon you are accidentally wandering around Ljubljana marshes.
