top 5 (or more) novembre 2013

te dni, ko se v Burkini dogaja revolucija, me boli, da nisem zraven. na trenutke se počutim, kot bi izdala svoj narod, ker nisem zraven, ker ne vpijem in ker danes v vsej ognjeni bojevitosti ne sedim na kakšni terasi in v čast padca Blaisea pijem Brakino. ves dan sem že na trnih kako se bodo zadeve odvijale...verjamem, da bo šlo v pravo smer. verjamem v ta narod in verjamem v to, da lahko enkrat Burkina Faso prosperira v vseh svojih skritih oz. zakopanih potencialih!
in ja....vračam se leto nazaj...november 2013 se je pisal...

ekola...kakorkoli že obrnemo, je bil mesec november nekaj posebnega. začele so se priprave na božični sejem, ure angleščine so bile na polno aktivne, hiša za goste je bila v fazi obnavljanja...bilo je ogromno dela..nedelje so bile, kot vedno nabasane s čudovitimi izletki v okolico Boboja. tako smo plavali v Gengeti, no, bili so še drugi izletki...bilo je kupe zabave, tabor s taborniki, ogromno dela in klinc...ljubezni se tudi ni manjkalo... Etaloni (nacionalna fuzbal ekipa) so z Alžirijo  izgubili kvalifikacijsko tekmo za svetovno prvenstvo v fuzbalu in sonce je mrknilo.
bil je naravnost čudovit mesec!!!

well...however I take it, the month of november was special. the preparations for expo noel started, my english classes were fully occupied, we did some major works in Maison d'hotes - our little house... there was plenty of work, sundays were as always - full of great trips arround Bobo. So there was swiming in la Guenguette, there were other trips...there was fun, there was scout camp, there was work and what the heck..love was in the air...
Les Etalons lost their qualifying game for World championship with Algier and the sun eclipsed!
It was one great month!!!

So I give you some of this:

kosilce, kosilce, na mizi povej....

... kje po brancinu diši mi povej?

mmmmm, danes pa je bilo... samopovabilo na kosilo se je več kot izplačalo. Gostitelji so nas pogostili s slastnim in orjaškim brancinom (rodom iz okolice Lošinja), družbo pos sačom so mu delali sosedje lignji, nekaj lokalnega krompirja, korenja, čebule in pora. VSe skupaj se je skomponiralo v nebeško dobro mavrico okusov...seveda smo vse kakovostno splahnili - najprej malo s Ščurkovo Rebulo, potem pa še z Burja-stim Zelenom. :)
Ah, ni kaj, življenje je lepo...sploh če vse to deliš s takimi fajn ljudmi!

Lep teden vsem skupaj!!!

latest news

jupija!

vikend je prinesel zaključek prve faze del v bajti in 70 plus pasteriziranih steklenic finega, domačega jabolčnega soka...
Jap!
V soboto sem ves dan preživela pri naših na Mežnariji, kjer smo na staro "vinto" - prešo stiskali stare sorte brkinskih jabolk, v finem kotlu za - sejvemokuhanječesa pa je potekala pasterizacija sokov v steklenicah... Trenutno trepetamo in grizemo nohte, ter molimo vsem bogovom, da je uspelo, če ne bomo imeli 70 litrov materiala za ne preveč dober jabolčni kis (bojda iz prekuhanega ne rata baš nešto).
Potem pa se je zgodila nedelja, na koncu katere so mi skoraj odpadla ramena. Prebelila sem še zadnji kos - največji, predvsem pa najvišji - hodnik. Kot da to ne bi bilo dovolj, sem se odločila še za drugo roko stropa v predkopalnici. :) Potem pa pucanje, drsanje vrat - pasji sledovi so bili po vseh teh letih odkar pes ni bil gor in že leto in pol je mimo, odkjar ga nimamo več...ampak po hiši še tako diši po našem Fooskotu.
No, zdej se počasi stvari postavljajo na svoje mesto...Potem, enkrat ko bo kaj časa, volje in energije, pa začnem z drugo fazo - mala soba, ki je po lanskem pomladanskem potresu najbolj nasankala.
Jupija!

 nedeljska župa

 hodniček - manjka še precej "pribitkov" na stene

 iz drugega kota

 ne, ne kuham nič prepovedanega ;)

 najprej jih zmeljemo...

... potem jih lepo stisnemo...

in iz starega kamna priteče ven najboljši jabolčni sok na svetu!

life in a box!

last month I had this crazy feeling, that I was living in boxes. My life was packed in boxes. Some coming in, others going out. I was feeling completely lost and had no motivation what so ever to make a change. But with a lot of help from my friends, last weekend we started "opening the boxes" and getting things ready...
So I give you some details from my new, old home in the City of opportunities!

burkina everywhere is it? :)

je vous envoie mes meilleures salutations ...

...de la riviera :) le mer, l'air superb, la lune, apres travaille, 20 minutes de la maison...le vraie paradis!

dobrodošla Iza!

ha, tale Iza jih bo še poslušala...kaj je šla ušpičit na rojstni dan novopečenega očeta - nič, želela je biti prva, da bi mu voščila in zato hitro privekala na svet.
Naj ti bo lepa tale pot po tej krogli...in ne skrbi nič, mama in ata imata že velike potovalne načrte zate!

Čestitke vsem vpletenim!!!

octobre 2013 top 5 (or more)

october 2013 sure was a month of big steps, steps towards new adventures, towards new villages, with my old bobo friends, and a month for meeting new people...some of them left a big impression, all of them made my bobo year special.
I loved Sunday trips to nerby villages, just love Helens laughter, Abdouls banana plantation and his farmers, loved the Sunday when me and Ahmed visited Peuhl village and stayed there for a long chat with Salif and his friends, drinking tea and enjoying company of each other, having another trip that broght too many things to describe here...
the compost was "croping" heavily - I had baby avocados, mangoes and last but not least - famous papayas :)
and there was fete du tabaski - oh! it's coming soon - in two weeks, the city will be overfloaded with lambs, the families will gather up, all dressed up nicely, happy as always!

I wonder what this october has prepared for me, can't wait to discover!
