Science!

You just have to love it, right?

Random thoughts

1. I saw a billboard today announcing the premiere of Bridget Jones's Baby. And I was wondering why they put the ad so soon as the film won't open till September, several months from now ... wait ... ooops!

2. Within one hour and all within a couple of hundred yards from my home I spoke to one of the national best gymnasts (multiple world champion), sat in a meeting with the singer of the nationally most famous rock band, and met probably the most (nationally) known TV presenter. A funny place, my hometown.

3. I decided to follow this year's Bake Off and started with the famous Jaffa cakes. Well, they tasted really delicious.  Their appearance, however, well ... let's not talk about it.

4. Somehow I stumbled upon Glee radio where they only play Glee covers.  24 hours a day. I mean... Seriously? 

5. Reading Kobo Abe, Herman Hesse, Nick Hornby and John C. Parkin. How many books can one read at a time?

La Vuelta

Why is Le Tour covered by all television stations and La Vuelta by none?

So I couldn't watch the stage when they climbed up Covadonga.

Not that I had the time to watch it anyway, but I would have loved to see if anything changed in the 17 years since I was there.

Oh, and I'm so so happy for Quintana. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hmmm...

Just watching The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

And reading Green's Paper Towns.

And there I go and buy a book on houseplants.

Must. Do. Something. About. It.

Just for Q's and old time's sake some photos from Everglades.

Everglades, about 10 years ago

An alligator we accidentally ran into

PS. Paper towns are very (too?) similar to Finding Alaska, but since I liked Alaska, I also liked Paper Towns. Even more so.

Ladybird purses

Sooo, a new page is just turning in our lives as MiniMojcek Nr.2 is leaving kindergarden and going to school!

And I thought it would be appropriate to give a small thank-you present to his teachers, who have been with him all these years. And with MiniMojcek Nr.1 before that.

This is the start

Can you guess what I'm making?

A ladybird!

MiniMojcek Nr.2 was in the group called Ladybirds so what could be more appropriate than ladybird purses/pouches... They loved them!

Ah, the wrinkled sheets ...

Elba

After wanting to go to Elba for several years we finally made it!

Portoferraio

My favourite place on the island - Chiessi

Two weeks of lying under stone pines and bathing in wonderful blue waters.

Photo stolen from Mr. Mojcek. It's also his foot.

We managed to include some hiking and Mr. Mojcek some mountainbiking.

And! We've had two weeks of sunrises and sunsets and even full moon.

Le tour!

This is getting so reptitive...

The Tour started again. And this year I'm not scanning any old photographs from Normandy but rather show a picture from our recently renovated National Gallery.

A house in Normandy :-)
