Sick child, sick me/ Bolesno dijete, bolesna ja…

Onaj osjecaj kad se danima osjecas k.o sa prehladjenim djetetom koje je uplakano i sve joj nesto treba …Zasto djeca takva postanu kad su bolesna? Mislim, volim ja kcerku svoju i mrzim kad vidim kako probava kasljati ili kad se ne osjeca dobro. Ali kad citav dan slusas kenkanje bude ipak malo naporno. Nadam se da ce brzo biti bolje. Da zabavim malu , danas smo pravili svedske “kanelbullar”  kolace sa cimetom. Jako ukusno pogotovo onako vruci iz rerne 🙂

 

Cheating/Prevara

A friend and I where discussing relationships. At her institute there is some real chaos. A boss cheated on his wife, another one got pregnant with her xth child (the x.th is not from her husband), another one found out that his dad doesn´t like his wife so he decided to break up and so on and so on. We were than chatting about relationships and came to talk about cheating. Conclusion !Cheating is also when someone is pretending to be something they are not. And for years they “cheat” on their partner, until it is not more possible and a “coming out” comes. The “cheater” is annoyed because his/her partner “wanted to change him/her instead of just love him/her” but all the partner really wanted was to keep the “cheater” the way they got to know each other. He doesn´t know and doesn´t like the “new” person.  And then “cheaters” wonder why their partners leave them…cheating is wrong

 Sjedimo ja i prijateljica i pričamo o vezama. Na njezinom institutu haos te ova muža prevarila, te muž ženu , te ova dijete ima sa nekim drugim pa je sad u razvodu, te ovaj jedan skontao da tata ne voli njegovu ženu pa eto razvodi se i tako još par priča ima. Uglavnom kroz priču skontamo da ima još jedna prevara o kojoj se nikad ili rijetko priča a to je kad neko glumi nešto što nije. I zavlači godinama svog partnera, pa neki čak i djecu (3.e djece!(?)!) dobiju i dalje zavlače,  da bi na kraju kad ga partner skontao rekao pa eto to sam ja!! To sam ja! I onda se čude što ih ostavi partner…

 

Baby teeth/ Bebini zubi

My baby is getting big. Very fast. So fast I cannot catch up. The fourth tooth is coming and coming and coming … means, lately, my baby is nervous, stressed and sometimes she just wants to cuddle. When she cries my heart is torn apart because it sounds so sad. Luckily these are such small problems that I shouldn´t complain. I remembered a picture I saw once showing how the teeth look like in the scull before growing out. Pretty impressive.

Moja beba raste jako brzo. Toliko brzo da je ne mogu stići. Četvrti zub izlazi, pa izlazi, pa izlazi…što znači da mi je beba nervozna, stresana a ponekad je i maza. Kad plaće srce mi se para jer joj plać nevjerovatno tužno zvući. Ali ovo su ipak tako mali problemi, da ne bih trebala kukati. Sjetih se jedne slike koju sam nekad vidjela. Prikazuje kako zubi jedne bebe izgledaju prije nego što su izrasli….Jako imponirajući.

Božićne dekoracije/Christmas decoration

These days everything is about christmas in Germany/Sweden. Problems like extra elections in Sweden, the economic crises in the world, ISIS are put a side for a period, while concentrating on bying christmas gifts and decorating the christmas tree. Did you know that previously the tradition was to decorate a tree with nuts and apples. Unfortunately, 1847 in Lacha a poor man working as glassblower, couldn´t afford to hang apples and nuts and decided to make the cheaper glass balls in colors to hang in the tree. These glass balls became popular in 1889 when the founder of Woolworth started importing to USA. And so the colorful christmas balls of glass took over the world….            julpynt

Ovih dana se u Njemačkoj/Švedskoj sve vrti oko božića. Nisu problem ni ponovni izbori u Švedskoj, niti ekonomska kriza po svijetu, niti IS, nego je ovdje bitno poklone kupiti i kako okititi jelku. I tako sam vidjela na televiziji otkud ustvari dolaze one staklene loptice koja sva djeca (a i odrasli vole). Priča je da je nekad bila tradicija da se drvo kiti jabukama i orasima/lješnjacima. Međutim, 1847. jedan staklar iz Lauscha,  a bio je jako siromašan te nije imao novca za skupe jabuke i orahe, odluči napraviti jeftine staklene loptice u raznim bojama. Ali ove kuglice su postale popularen 1880 tek kad je osnivač Woolwortha počeo importirati kuglice u Ameriku. I tako su kuglice preplavile svijet…

Unusual calender/ neobični kalendar

Yesterday I went visiting a friend I haven´t seen in long time. We were taking a walk in the christmas markt in Dachau, where I could see this huge christmas calender. Quite a fun idea… julkalender

Jučer sam bila u posjeti kod jedne prijateljice koju nisam dugo vidjela. Šetale smo kroz božićnu pijacu u Dachau, gdje se mogao čak i vidjeti ovaj ogromni božićni kalendar. Moram reći da je ideja baš zanimljiva…

Rotterdam

There is something magic visiting new places. Be it new countries,new cities or simply new places in the town. I love visiting it. One of the places I´ve been to is Rotterdam. I was there at a meeting, and used the free time for exploring the city. We had a wonderful dinner at the tower 96m above the ground with a fantastic view. Rotterdam was completely bombed in the World war  II making it a city of “modern buildings”. I also ate my first (delicious) cup cakes, with salt caramel, here.

Ima nešto čarobno kad posjećujem nova mjesta. Bilo to nove države, novi gradovi ili čak nova mjesta u gradu. U ovom slučaju sam bila u Roterdamu na jednom kongresu, ali sam ipak imala malo vremena da vidim i Roterdam grad. Imali smo predivnu večeru u Roterdamskom tornju na 96m visine, sa fantastičnim pogledom. Ispričano nam je da je Roterdam za vrijeme drugog svjetskog rata sravnan do zemlje, tako da je sada grad modernih zgrada. A Roterdam će mi ostati u sjećanju kao grad gdje sam prvi put cup cakes jela…i to sa slanom karamelom …
