Home sweet home vol.1

Konečne. Konečne. Konečne. Po 6 rokoch v Prahe a jednom roku v Paríži sa mi konečne splnil sen. Môj vlastný byt. Teda, prenajatý a nie len môj ale to sa nepočíta, všetky negatívne vplyvy sú potlačené.

Finally. Finally. Finally. After 6 student years in Pague and one year in Paris, my dream finally came true. My own flat. Or, not really mine, just rented and not only mine, but that doesn't count, all the negativism is supressed.

Na nič iné nemyslím, len čo nám ešte treba. A teším sa. Aktívne.

I don't think about anything else, only about what we currently need to buy. And I'm happy. Actively.

Takže len v rýchlosti.

So just quickly.

Ja viem, ja viem, všade samé bodky, blah blah.... ale nie je to roztomilé?

I know, I know, too much polka dots, blah blah....but isn't it cute?

A vôbec mi nevadí, že nemáme internet, a že nemáme nábytok a že spíme na nafukovačke. Ale sme vo svojom!!!!

And I don't care that we don't have internet, or furniture, or that we sleep on an inflatable mattress. We are AT HOME!!!

Yaaaaayyyyy

I love snow. Really. Very very very very very much.
Yesterday, on my way to work I did the snow angel

and had to put my feet where no one else had before

So yeah, yesterday, the winter was back

but today, it was spring again ...

Union Jack vol.1

Vlajka Spojeného kráľovstva Veľkej Británie  a Severného Írska sa volá Union Jack. Jej súčastný vzhľad pochádza z roku 1801.

The flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is called Union Jack. It's current design dates back to 1801.

Zaujímavý fakt : v skutočnosti by sa vlajka mala volať Union Flag, Jack je označenie vlajky na lodi a teda Union Jack by sa malo používať len v spojení s lodnou vlajkou, kvôli významu námorníctva pre celú krajina sa spojenie Union Jack udomácnilo v bežnom jazyku.

Interesting fact: the flag should be called Union Flag, Jack signifies a flag on a ship, so Union Jack should be used only while talking about the ship flag, but because of the great importance of the marine for the whole country, the name Union Jack is widely in use in common language. 

Vlajka bola prvotne zložením zástav Škótska (kríž sv. Ondreja) a Anglicka (kríž sv. Juraja) a v roku 1801 pribudla zástava Írska (kríž sv. Patrika).

Firstly, the flag combined the flag of Scotland (st. Andrew's cross) and England (st. Goerge's cross) and from the year 1801 also the flag of Ireland (st. Patrick's cross ).

Múdra jak Wikipédia, že? Chcem sa ale dostať k tomu, kde všade sa dá zástava vidieť. Francúzi sú považovaní za nacionalistov, ale oproti Britom sú len slabý odvar.

Im as smart as Wikipedia, right? My aim is to point out where you can meet this flag. Well, everywhere. The French are thought to be nationalists, but comparing to the the English...

Oblečenie ma už neprekvapuje, ani spodná bielizeň, nuda.

I'm not surprised anymore by clothes, shoes, not even underwear, boring.

Pri mojom prvom anglickom daždi som na ulici stretla niečo takéto

My first English rainy day, I met in the street something like this

Oke, to ma už tiež necháva chladnou. Čo ma prekvapilo je : nechty a odpadkový kôš??????

Ok, normal, cool, I'm not excited. But what took my breath away : fake nails and rubbish bin??????

Pokračovanie určite nabudúce.

To be continued, for sure.

My first Mother's day

Dnes je v Anglicku Deň matiek. Myslím, že všade inde je to druhá májová nedeľa, ale tu nie.

Today is Mother's day in the UK. I think that anywhere else it is on the second Sunday of May, but not here.

Ku koncu dnešnej omše si kňaz zavolal všetky detičky k oltáru a dal kažému zopár narcisov pre maminku. Musela som pôsobiť veľmi úboho, tak sama, keďže ku mne prišiel jeden chlapec a podal mi dva z jeho kvietkov. Márne som sa snažila mu vysvetliť, že ešte nie som mamina, chlapec sa len krásne usmial a odišiel. Milé, normálne som mala v očiach slzy. Potom sa pán sediaci vedľa mňa ku mne naklonil a povedal "Gratulujem!".

During the mass in the church I usually go, the priest gathered all the children and gave them several daffodils to each kid to give them to their mummy. I must have looked very miserable because a little boy came to me and gave me some of his flowers. I tried to explain that I wasn't mum yet, but he just smiled and walked away. So sweet, I almost had tears in my eyes. Then a gentleman sitting next to me leaned and told me "Congratulations!"

Môj prvý Deň matiek, i keď od matky mám ešte veľmi ďaleko. Dúfam.

My first Mother's day, far from being mother though. I hope.

Správna žena

Mamina mi vždy vravievala, že správna žena nosí v kabelke vreckovky, rúž, dáždnik, náhradné silónky, modlitebnú knižku, igelitku na nákup, kľúče a peňaženku.

My mum used to tell me, that every good woman has in her purse some tissues, lipstick, umbrella, spare tights, prayer book, bag for grocery shopping, keys and wallet.

Som sa hlboko zamyslela po ceste do Londýna, či som správna žena. Vreckovky mám so sebou vždy, rúž nenosím ale balzámy by som našla aj dva, dáždnik ma prinútila nosiť miestna klíma, silónky nemám, nenosím, fuj, modlitebná knižka...nemám, zato ale mám so sebou vždy niečo na čítanie, či už v elektronickej alebo papierovej podobe (v poslednom čase som sa dala na manga), tašku na nákup mám, nie síce igelitovú ale látkovú (aby Zem neronila krokodílie slzy), kľúče a peňaženka je nutnosť. Celkom pekná bilancia. Doba sa mení a preto sa zoznam rozšíril o mobil a antibakteriálny gél na ruky, ja nemôžem opustiť dom bez fľašǩy vody a niečoho na jedenie. No ale ako sedím v tom vlaku a pozerám na svoju tašku....

In the train on my way to London I started to think if I am a good woman. I always have some+ tissues with me, I don't use lipsticks, but I could find at least one lip balm, I have learnt that umbrella is inevitable here, I don't have spare tights, but I almost never wear it, don't like, prayer book....nope, but I always have something to read with me, either a paper book or electronic version (the last few weeks I got hooked up on manga), bag for grocery shopping checked, although it's not a plastic one (I don't want to make Earth to cry), keys and wallet are must have. Not bad. Time's changing so except for all this I have also my phone and antibacterial hand cleansing gel, I can't leave home without a bottle of water and something to eat. But as I was looking into my bag ....

Ale ten počítač sa mi tam tak krásne zmestí! Som správna žena alebo nie?
But the computer is fitting inside so well ! Am I a good woman?
