Middle of nowhere

Let's say you plan a lovely and relaxing afternoon home alone.

And then you get a phone call to collect someone in the middle of nowhere.

You drop everything you're doing and drive about one and a half hours towards ... middle of nowhere.

Which turns out to be a very pretty place.

What to do Nr. 23

As travelling is still very much limited (at least to the places I would visit), I have to be happy with what I've got. So, maybe it's time to re-discover my own country!

We started with Postojna Cave.

The train-ride was great, the cave is still fantastic, but the tour was on the boring side and rushed. Oh, well...

A fun fact: since a Cave is technically a closed space, we had to wear masks all the time

We obviously continued with Predjamski Grad. This one is even more spectacular than I remembered it.

A lovely day it was.

What to do Nr. 22

Well, what you could have done - is join me and the others at a charity event: 24 hours of paddling.

Obviously I didn't paddle for 24 hours straight (although some did!), but I nevertheless managed over 38 km (7 laps). Mr Mojcek did 77 km (14 laps). And the "winner" - she (yes, SHE!) did 165 km (30 laps)...

Now I've got blisters, feel tired, but happy and proud.

What to do Nr. 21

You can play the "Jeu des 7 erreurs en Gigapixel" by the Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon.

So much fun.

And I can't imagine how much fun the authors must have, placing funny little errors into the old paintings. My favourite is the Peugeot's lion on an medieval shield :-)

Maybe just a suggestion: a hundred errors next time?

Time for more music?

Yes, time for more music.

Currently listening to:
Yann Tiersen - Pern
Yann Tiersen - Penn ar Lann
Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill (acoustic!)
VNV Nation - All Our Sins (with Samsara video!)
VNV Nation - Collide
VNV Nation - Weltfunk 
Phosphorescent - Song for Zula
The National - I Need My Girl
Mika - Last Party

Yann Tiersen makes me feel, Damon Albarn makes me happy, VNV gives me power, Phosphorescent is pure poetry, The National make me melancholic and Mika... is just Mika :-)

The first batch

The first batch of jam was redcurrant only, the second was a mix of strawberries and redcurrant.Very delicious :-)

My breakfast

Ah, the advantage of having your own garden...

Freshly picked cherries and strawberries for breakfast.

What not to do ...

Today MiniMojcek Nr. 2's school reopened. After 81 days!

So yesterday he needed to pack the school bag. And... let's just say we found some things that were left there forgotten for 81 days.

Including this orange.

I must add though, that it smelled really delicious. Very intense. Almost like a dried orange :-)
