I haven`t gotten around to this one, because there is just too little time for writing. I can barely manage to keep up with one post a day. The first day of my friend Damjan`s visit (you can read it in Vino – a family visit) we went to a pub I have been meaning […]
A Story / Zgodba
Lately I have been noticing that the kids like and understand stories more than they used to. As I am a big fan of stories myself I told them a story about a hobbit (yeah, ok I stole the story, but they do not know that). But this was not just an ordinary telling, we […]
Crazy weather / Ponorelo vreme
I swear to the Jedi order that not two days ago we had to dress almost for winter (well us not the Bayreuthians who are dressing like it is summer since March). Not in my wildest imagination could I expect that I should dress the kids any different today. The moment we stepped out all […]
Sun and Sickness / Sonce in bolezen
Just when the sun returns to us after two weeks of bad weather, Ambrož falls sick (I think it is all the running he did on Saturday). Yesterday he was so sick he had his body temperature over 39 degrees Celsius, today, after a good night sleep under some drugs (Brufen, we just gave him […]
Happy Birthday Judit
Have you ever had a perfect day that took you completely by surprise? Today was one of those days for me. All of you regular readers of this blog probably remember Judit and Ljubo I mentioned in one of my first posts (First impressions). This same Judit invited us to the celebration of her birthday. […]
Vino – a family visit / Vino – družinski
It was three o`clock on a weekday morning half a year ago and I was sitting on a toilet, doing what I usually do when I have indigestion problems – because of my IBS that is quite a common occurrence. I still do not know why but I decided to google one of my best friends from high […]
A nice surprise / Prijetno presenečenje
Aaaaaaannnd I`m back. Uiiii, it has been a fantastic two days of visits (well more like one visit that lasted two days). First there is something I have to post before I write about the visit. We received a postcard from my former high school friend Tina. Here it is: Tina and I are still […]
Germans and their cars / Nemci in njihov...
Oh yeah, the top picture is from one of the numerous vending machines in the toilets (Billy Boy is how I sometimes call my good friend as a joke). / Zgornja slike je mišljena kot hec (svojega prijatelja včasih v šali kličem Billy Boy) My boy is having a blast in Germany if his enjoyment […]
Beerducation…
… the German (organised) way. How do you learn the differences between different beer types? You try them all. But how do you know you have tried them all? You leave it to Germans to figure the way and you just buy their product. The German beer culture in one box: This is what awaits me […]
Milan Stibilj (1929–2014)
Ne gre za osmrtnico ali turobno pisanje, le spomin na dolgoletnega soseda in družinskega prijatelja, ki mi je kot otroku kupil kolo, ker si ga nismo mogli privoščiti. Ker je bil dober človek in očitno tudi velik umetnik. Slednje je zelo dobro skrival. Milan Stibilj… was our long-time (twenty years) neighbour in Vodmat. He lived across […]
