Tuesday 21/6 2011 - Europe is small but still so different...
Late last Saturday night I decided it's time for my first half marathon ever, so early on Sunday morning I went out in full jogging gear. Two hours and 29 minutes later I was done. Even well done. I felt like a piece of burnt meat. Now two days later I'm almost able to walk normally again...
Yesterday morning I flew to Stockholm for a meeting, but was home in the evening again. Stockholm was cold and rainy, didn't feel like summer at all...
Little m started her last week in school with an excursion up in the Buda hills. Today the whole class went to zoo. One kid is still missing after feeding the crocodiles, at least that's the rumour...
Friday afternoon, after graduation, we all go to Sweden, but after a look at the weather map, I'm not so sure it's a wise decision... On the other hand, looking at the perspective to meet all the kids, it's a mega nice thing to do.
I mean, check this out, it's only yellow up there...;

Wednesday June 15 2011 - better have the nice ones...
Some accidents are nice, other not...
On the way home from m's school this morning, a big SUV crashed into the side of police car. The whole front of the SUV fell off (probably some kind of Korean brand...) The police car managed to stop after 25 meters or so. A very grim looking police-man stepped out of his car. Stopped outside the car, and slowly lit a cigarette. Then he approached the poor SUV driver, who stood outside his car and looked like he would like to be somwhere else. I understand him... The police stepping out of his car reminded me of some Humphrey Bogart film or smth. Very cool :-)
In the afternoon I picked up Stan&Karo, who will stay with us for some days.
On the way home from the airport there was the not so nice accident; motorcycle vs truck. :-(
Days are flying, only a week and a half, and we go to Sweden to meet the rest of the kids. All six of them will be there. Nagyon nice :-)
Linda is planning some forest adventure that obviously will include tenting, fishing and grilling. And probably loads of mosquitos. Under such circumstances I LOVE mosquitos :-)

June 4, 2011 - snick snack
Last week I managed two trips to Slovenia. Tuesday just over the day. Then again on Wednesday evening and back again yesterday. Had a nice mix of work and good food. Went one evening to Piran to eat grilled Sea Bass.
Piran is a tiny but pittoresque village on a small peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. Just on the border to Croatia.
Today little m is with Kriszti to see Snowhite, in ballet version at the big opera.
Tonight we're gonna grill, and I am now preparing a nice spaghetti/curry salad. My big problem with cooking and preparing food, is that I taste a lot during the work, and that I normally end up full before the food is ready. Today I'm wearing my new anti-snacking mask. Works pretty well actually :-)
Weather? Fat sun and hot as hell :-)))
My new anti-snack helmet - just impossible to get any bigger chunks through the net :-)
The grrrls heading for the opera
