The Last King of Scotland…

The movie is two years old but we have watched it this weekend…the story will stay in my mind for quite some time... The 70’s, just-graduated Scottisch doctor Nicholas Garrigan moves to Uganda and meet the new president Idi Amin, becomes his personal doctor, advisor, friend and eventually…the “white monkey”. This story shows how despotic and cruel the Amin was and what was happening in the country during his leadership … extraordinary, unbelievably shocking and tragic. Similar to “Blood Diamond” but better…
A. told me to watch “Hotel Rwanda”, also based on the real story … and also very extreme. I am curious…

If you haven’t got any bread for lunch …

There is something else what you can eat, small pancakes which are called the “poffertjes”. There are special cooking pans to have them baked but I have a special, easy to use and easy to clean toast maker. I can make the different kind of toasts but also the hamburgers and poffertjes… 5 minutes of work, a bit of sugar powder and … simply delicious!!!

The black Sunday…

It was suppose to be such a nice Sunday afternoon…
I went with Fuyo to the park, and instead of relaxing walk we got the chain reaction of the accidents. The park was full of people on the bikes, children, walking couples, old ladies, and the runners. Normally, deserted place today was full of noise and distractions.

So what actually happened was that the lady fell down on the bicycle because of Fuyo playing with another dog. The screaming and crying girl run and hide by her parents because Fuyo had barked at her and wanted to play. And when eventually I found the place in the middle of the forest, far from paths, children and bickers, the place where we could play with the ball, the grandma with 7 years old appeared thru the trees. Fuyo started to bark and behave tough, ready to “protect” us…

What can you do when your walk with the dog became the down hill journey? You take the dog on the lash, say to every one to back off and you go home watch TV.

Paris, Paris...

My short visit to this city, this time with my mum, has been full of sight seeing, walking, talking, enjoying good food, coffee and the weather. First day we have already seen half of the city, Eiffel Tower in the morning (too long queue to go up, waste of time), in the evening (30 min. is acceptable to wait…but why did we choose the wing “with the stairs only”)…, Arc of Triumph, Champs Elysées, Nespesso Café and many other places that will stay not only in my memory but also on my hard disc.

The progress…

Fuyo finished the puppy course … she finished as the last one. 15 pups got more points that she did. Was I disappointed … no, not at all. Kidding, I was!!! My dog, the last one, my pride suffered… I had always the best grades. I was always on top of the class, at least…well… A. said that her diploma looks 100% better that the ones he has been getting from school…now we know from whom she got it ;)).

Currently we are following the next course. This one is suppose to help us to go through the puberty period. Yes, she is more then 4 months, changing her teeth, being annoying and pushing “her way” from time to time.

The first two lessons, I had the feeling that she didn’t give a shit to do anything we asked for. Until today I had my doubts if we ever going to teach her something and pass the exams in December…and today…WOW...the miracle happened. She was behaving very good, sit, down, wait, come …like all the words found the right drawer in her tiny brain. I loved her; I was proud and wanted to squeeze her from the happiness. The lesson for us…we have to practice more and she will learn a lot!
