Different thoughts in one post

When enough is enough.
If I can't get it here, I go and look for it somewhere else. Although I am too late sometimes.
I drove up the nearest hill to see the sun and the blue sky. Because you know what we have here when we look outside. Do I need to say it? ... You can see it yourself, on the photo below. I was too late to enjoy in the sunshine but I caught a glimpse of golden mountains. What you see in a distance is Triglav, with 2864 m the highest mountain in Slovenia. And in front you can see what we have here.
Anniversary.
It's been four years today since I am with my partner. I won't write a lot about our relationship but sometimes I think I deserve better. Don't get me wrong, he loves me very much and I love him very much. But I had a much better man before and I know that there is still someone like that out there. Who I would be happier with. Perhaps I don't deserve it anymore. My colleague keeps saying that we have what we deserve. Maybe I should just get used to it and stop kicking...

Research that makes people LAUGH and then THINK. Look at this Improbable Research web site. I had to laugh. And really, later also think. Perhaps you have any good ideas? Will you be one on the list in 2009?

Bog & fog

Once there was a shallow lake right here where Ljubljana is today. Well, the lake was much larger than Ljubljana is. The first settlers here lived about 4000 thousand years ago in wooden dwellings built on stilts, and even my house which is located at Ljubljana moor (as we call it) has wooden logs beneath to support its weight. The remnant of this lake had been bog which was later dried up to some extent. The land is still very marshy, and since Ljubljana is located in a kind of basin, each year we’ve got days with fog, so thick that sometimes it is hard to see the road in front of you. Up above the fog there is a hint of blue, blue sky. We have such days now. It was sunny yesterday where I work but at home I could see this:

I stayed in the house all afternoon. Anyway, it gets dark at 4:30 pm. It was chilly outside though only -1 degrees C. So, I made these for lunch:

They are made of cottage cheese, an egg, flour and some salt.

I couldn’t help myself and ate some of kaki (persimmon), I dry on the radiators. It has to be completely dry; otherwise it is kind of bitter. It pulls your mouth together. Here they are, all lined up to be eaten:

P.s.: I am glad that you liked the pincushion, or just the stitches. Unfortunately I am not able to show you what I made when I was about 12 years old; it was a masterpiece – a leather outfit (tunic + trousers), all stitched by hand, with fringes at the ends. That’s what the heroes make you do.
