Aplavz vsem sodelujočim! Uživaška predstava, ki jo toplo priporočam vsem, predvsem tistim, ki bi se radi skladno z željami sedanje vladajoče politične opcije dodobra sprostili.

Pa še nekaj slikic za pokušino:

PS: Res mi je žal, da nisva mogla ostati na žuru, da legendarnega štrudla prav tako legendarne babice sploh ne omenjam. Delu čast in oblast, kenede?

EDIT: Več o predstavi: pri Binuli

The subject in the photo below, officially known as Planika Zvezdica Zaspanka, also known as Zvezdica to friends, has been caught red-handed. Or black-smoke-pawed at the least. Literally.

Let me explain. I let my new laptop (meet Rodney! – those who’ve seen Only Fools and Horses will understand) open to run new software installation. Upon my return, I found that:
- the My Documents folder was renamed (hey whose documents are they, anyway?!)
- six desktop icons were renamed to Skype (humm…)
- 14 “Windows Help” windows were open

What remains to be seen is what other deeds had been done in my absence with the extensive assistance of the Windows Help files. Thanks to The Godfather’s candid shot, I’ll at least know where to look for the culprit.

Meet Grand Champion Planika Pepelka of Palmetto a.k.a. Cindy, a Black Smoke Persian born at my house that went on to become a star at beauty pageants called cat shows both in Europe and in the US and became the second best of breed in the world the year she was shown in the Cat Fanciers’ Association. She was a gift to a dear friend, Pat Lichtenberg in south Georgia. Pepelka is Slovenian for “Cinderella” as ‘pepel’ translates to ‘ash’.

Cindy’s sidekick is another cat on fire

And yes, it had to be a red dress.

EDIT: Adding translation and links to the mobile post

Note: If you SEE MICE (white mice are the Slovenian version of seeing pink elephants) in this shopwindow, it’s high time you stopped drinking ; )

A couple of weeks ago, while waiting for Mattie and Dilys, I took a photo of Peter Božič at Prešeren square in the centre of Ljubljana. At the time, Pengovsky mentioned the special relationship between Božič and Miha Jazbinšek. As it turns out, the mountain came to me and I didn’t have to set up a spy camp in downtown Ljubljana as popular as that may have been up until recently.

I was about to order my cocktail at klub300, enjoying the company of Adriaan and our lawyer friend when we noticed Jazbi (Slovene 101: jazbec = badger) sipping his beer and very involved in a debate with his company. Seeing as I haven’t invested into a telephoto lens yet (and actually nikki was left home), I walked up to them with Adriaan’s compact and asked for permission to take a picture at not much of a surprise to the camera’s owner, the lawyer however announced she would deny any association with me. But hey, this badger is a ‘stari maček’ (Slovene 101: stari maček = old cat = old hand) and had no problem having his threemillionfivehundredthirtytwothousandtwentysecond picture taken. So here you go. I still have to do the face-off pic. Soon…

Thanks for the lovely evening, you guys and thanks for being cool about the pic, Jazbi. Oh and the sex on the beach was great, as well.

Some graffitis embellish buildings, others are no more than vandalism. This one in Ljubljana is a bit of a word play. In Slovenian, “bi?” means “would you?”.

Would you?

To my friends who’ve expressed a slightly masochistic yet commendable interest in learning the beautiful if not simple language spoken by the two million lucky individuals living on this tiny piece of Earth that nature has been so generous to. And a few more scattered around the world. You guys have my respect. You already know your basic Ps and Qs, so here’s your homework:

A bonus one:

Še eno, prosim – (I’ll have) another one (f, n), please (e.g. “beer” or “drink”)
