It is hard as a parent to resist imagining your kids being in awful situations that you read in the news happening to other kids. Two weeks ago a boy of the same age as our kids drowned in the river Soča. Because we were planning to visit that region of Slovenia I just couldn´t […]
Soulfood
There are two prerequisites that are obligatory for every blogger – we lawyers call these kind of prerequisites conditio sine qua non. These conditions are a working imaginative brain and pictures of things we do. For the last week or a bit more I have been having bad headaches that are mostly connected with some […]
Leftovers
Short term pressure can be a very good thing – it can give us motivation. On the other side the pressure makes us hurry. Like when I need to go to the toilet really bad, the pressure tends to help me find a toilet in the worst of the situations, but due to the hurry […]
Inescapable Second Coming
The second wave is here. And I am not talking about a sea wave. Nope, I am talking about the big fat Covid-19 wave. That fact alone means so many different things, but for us it basically meant that our sea trip to Croatia will not be as relaxed as we hoped it would be […]

Spiraling into Madness
Well, no not really. More like spiraling into gaming. The past week has been characterized by numerous hours put into gaming – playing Witcher 3 and Grim Dawn. It has gotten to the level where my eyes physically hurt due to the strain I put them through. Of course, this has started to nudge at […]
The New Normal or More of the Same
The fourth week of isolation due to Covid-19 or coronavirus or Sars 2 pandemic and we are still hanging on. Being stuck most of the time in an apartment does not give rise to new adventures. Therefore, the routine is king. Sticking to the same rhythm and some sense of order has definitely helped us […]
Apocalypse Now: Coronavirus isolation –
Guess the next two riddles, thought up yours truly: First: What is as hard as bones but soft at its fingertips, grows and moves but always stays in one place, has wrinkly skin but stays eternally young in its core? Second: What has legs and arms but cannot move on its own, acts as second […]
