Flower Power II






Zavítalo k Nám leto !!! Posledných pár týždňov inak upršaný a sivastý a zafúkaný Leicester láme všetky dostupné teplotné rekordy...
... posledný víkend sme vraj dokonca horúčavami prekonali aj Rím a Nice...
akurát Madrid nás predbehol o pol stupňa...

Je to proste Paráda !


Summer has arrived !!! During the past few weeks otherwise grey and rainy and slightly depressing Leicester has undergone a major transformation into
a top seaside resort ... ( minus the sea of course )
According to a very reputable source, last weekend we even managed to beat Rome and Nice temperature wise
( not amount of tourists wise ;-) luckily )
Only Madrid was hotter...

Unbelievable and utterly fabulous !

Home Sweet Home


Konečne Doma !
Viem, bola som síce zaseknutá v jednom z najkrajších miest na svete
Paríži, ale...Srdce ma ťahalo a vždy aj ťahá niekam inam...
DOMOV

P.S. A domovom to robí aj táto " olejomaľba " od nášho milovaného Axelíka ;-)


Home at last !
I know, it could have been much worse. I was stuck in one of the most
beloved cities of the world - Paris, but...
My heart was and is and wanted to be somewhere else..
At Home...

P.S. And it wouldn't be our home without this precious artwork
by our beloved Axel ;-)

Veľká Noc





Prajeme Vám Všetkým pokojne prežitú Veľkú Noc, dievčatám veľa vody
( a voňavky )- viem, že väčšina z nás to neobľubuje ale je to tradícia a tie treba zachovať aj pre dalšie generácie :-)
a chlapcom veľa zaslúžených vajíčok alebo štamperlikov...

Tu kde žijeme sa tradícia Veľkej Noci už skoro úplne vytratila...je to škoda.
Je to tu navonok a možno aj vo vnútri o čokoláde, alkohole
a z ( pre nás )neznámych dôvodov aj o dávaní darčekov...Ako druhé Vianoce...

A aj preto sú tie naše tradície tak dôležité...

Už sa teším na pondelok...(ešteže môj polievač je iba jeden :-)) )


Happiest Easter Everybody !
Peaceful days with your nearest and dearest !

Where we come from Easter used to be more about tradition than chocolate.
Some of the " funnier " things that we do include boys/teenagers/fathers/brothers/neighbours and/or total strangers pouring water ( from hands/cups/mugs/syringes/buckets/hoses...)
on girls/mums/girlfriends/sisters/neighbours and/or total strangers...
Older ladies have the "advantage" of not being soaked in H2O but
in many different kinds of cheap and thus very smelly perfume.
In addition to total drenching females of the species are also being
whipped by( sometimes ) very joyfully decorated weeping willow's branches...

All in the name of Beauty and Health.

What boys get in return is ( depending on age group ) either chocolate egg or
small/or large glass of "l'eau de vie"...

It is very important to keep traditions alive.
Somewhere it seems that Easter has already transformed into
"2nd Christmas"kind of thing.
We are encouraged to buy (one get one free), to eat,to drink...
but never to think about what Easter IS about...

I am already looking forward to my water wake up call ;-)))
( luckily only one man knows about this tradition where I live now)

Going Home...


Mám na mysli "spirituálny domov ", to miesto v duši kde je ticho, kam starosti a povinnosti a problémy jednoducho nedosiahnu, kde je protizvuková membrána cez ktorú sa jednoducho nedostanú...
Tam počujem iba harmóniu, iba pieseň čo má schopnosť sa ma emocionálne dotknúť, iba spev vtákov...
Žiadne tikanie hodiniek, bípanie mobilov, húkanie sanitiek, vety vyslovené bez (sú)citu...

Dnes si na cestu beriem tento obraz a túto pieseň...


I mean my " spiritual home ", that quiet and peaceful place somewhere deep inside me, carpeted and wallpapered by sound and trouble and pain proof carpet/paper...
I can only hear harmony there, only songs that touch my soul, only birdsong...
No ticking of clocks,beeping of mobiles, hooting of cars, no thorn-wrapped "well" meant sentences...

I am going home... taking this painting and this song with me...
