Dark clouds and the brightness of the sun…

I wanted to write about my old company, but well there is actually nothing to write about, dark clouds… that’s it…It made me think about it while I was watching a very good TV program called Dragons’Den. 5 people, very successful in business, play the role of judges and are prepared to invest own money in the product, idea or a company presented to them during this program… they are very professional, critical and straight to the point. They see potential in people and products but are not afraid to say if something simply “sucks”. No offence but I am 100% sure that my previous company would have null to nothing chance to reach the second round presenting them their business plan (which they did not have) and the strategy from the study books… Ach… about the brightness of the sun…well … it was bright, the 4th day in the row.

A lot is going on…

On Friday we went finally to see our “babies”. They were born on 23 April, almost at my birthday, and we will have one of the 8 born that day. They are only 2 weeks old, can’t walk, see or hear, they can only use their tiny, black noses searching for food. They are lovely! I was prepared to take them all, immediately… Noah (the mother) was quite relaxed when we visited, she even gave them food while we where there…according to the owner…she must trust us…that’s good! I cannot imagine that one of those monsters is for us. We do not know yet which one. The decision will be made in 4,5 weeks. The puppy must fit with the owner and now it is still difficult to see…..maybe the one that sleeps and eats a lot….well could be…

New world and the happiness…

I am a quite simple person, A. would say something completely else, I know... but do not listen to him. I do not like: stress, false and dull people, bad food, fights, disco-polo and other folk music, be rushed, be hungry and be tired when there is no place to sleep. Maybe I could find some more things, but today I am in a good mood. What I like is: leaving to my work (still) and coming home when A. cooks for me, the sunny day and the rainy night, my birthday and birthday of others, a nice book and a good film, the scrap booking and playing games, climbing and the salads by V&D, shower and music....and a loooot more.... so why, while I like more than I dislike, the happiness seems to be a scarcity in my life.... to be or not to be...to be bee or not to be bee ....
For curious people...this is my world now...

You can feel the spring in the air…

Finally the weather changed…I had a big headache because of this but who cares! At 6:20 is already daylight…I think even earlier but I am not that curious to check myself. I will ask A. after his night shift…anyway, what I wanted to say is that spring is all over the place…and I just participated in the whole waking up nature spirit thing…and I bought the garden ground and…
1. changed the “fortune tree” (that’s the polish name for it)…because unfortunately the old ground was full of tiny, little, enjoying flies, so I hope that those mf are gone now….



2. cropped the small “fortune tree” in the new pot because while cleaning the big one unfortunately the small part broke ... and now I have two….small and big...



3. sowed the “forget me not” flowers (halo, polish translation…) and the oak … hym..?? no dwa żołędze zasadzilem…..what is “żołędz” in English?



So as you can see…or not yet...spring, spring, spring…and it has to stay like this…..to the end of September…

How this is possible…

I am not a big fan of choir and opera. However, when I am in a certain mood and I hear the melody and the voices… I am simply falling apart. I think most people have the same sensitivity. Those songs are used to bring more drama in to the… the wedding, funeral, concert or a movie. They are there to rip off our hart, push the tears and give at least the goose bumps … have you ever heard something like this…

All White … but not today…

If you ask me today, what are the colors of the day? I would say…, black, gray, and irritating yellow! I just want to disappear under the duvet … but there is a hope…that tomorrow will be a better day… again...by the way, we are getting a puppy…not now, not tomorrow but over few weeks. The Noah (the mother of our puppy) is still pregnant. She is expecting the babies next week and I cannot wait to see the white monsters…speaking of white guess what …my new telephone...and in July… Sensation White!! But back to the doggies, we have a small problem...we do not have the name for our future baby dog …we thought Kaya…but Noah has already 2 daughters named this way…so we need more ideas… Have you ever thought about the name that would sound good in Dutch and Polish, reflect the sturdiness and the cuteness of this dog and would be easy to pronounce…for my mum for example? It is not easy…any thoughts…?

What are you sinking about???...

I like my company and I like people working there…why?...because there are a lot of nationalities mixing with each other and this is fun…this Friday, during the lunch break, we have talk about German and the German –English accent. Of course I could not resist introducing my favorite ad to my colleagues…. By the way the company is in the shipping business…. What a coincident…..

Chocolate bunny for White Easter…

I just wanted to go to my family for Easter and for the Baptizing of L. and L., yes, the twin sisters, nothing more. I took nice shoes and clothes with me but actually ski would be more suitable. We have driven 900 km in 12 hours, f**king traffic and the shitty weather. Despite all that, I had a good time, saw my mum, G. and the rest of my family… “kort en krachtig”, short en powerful, that’s how I could describe my visit. Now I am back home, my plants are still alive, work is good, people are friendly and A. did not want to eat “golabki” with me, I was pissed, he was pissed and that’s how the evening ends. Oh … no … I had the ass and the legs of my Easter bunny…delicious….

Scrapbooking, my personal expression …

My grandmother, from my father side, was and still is very creative. As far as I remember, we, me and my cousins, were painting, drawing, performing, knitting, sawing, needle –crafting, gluing and so on and so forth… I still like to do most of those things but knitting. Knitting I would associate only with the grandmothers or at least women with the grey hair. I have few but they are perfectly covered…Anyway what I like is capturing the life, moments, events, expressions, people, weather, animals, smell, feeling, music and everything what I think is worth to be remembered… Besides making the photographs I collect every treasure that relates with the “MOMENT” (tickets, maps, folders, stickers, labels, etc.) and when I have everything I just play with it …
Those are the "memories"from Tiesto concert...



And this is how everything begins, from the chaos... I love my mess on the table…
