Carmel v uteraku

Dnes sa Carmel clapkala vo vanicke v obyvacke :)

Carmel was having a bath in our living room today :)

ITALY -CALABRIA

2009-06-10T21:21:00.019+01:00

We spent our holiday in Italy, the very south - Calabria. The beaches in Calabria are perfect. No sand that would stick on your wet skin but a warm white gravel that grabbed attention of the smallest ones. They could play with it forever. The purpose of our holiday was Simona+Robert's wedding. You can see this lovely couple in Jaro's new website.

Here are some pics.

Tropea. A beautiful city.

A piece of Carmel.

Nina
I was wondering if there are any wheelchairers in Pizzo. It's so wheelchair/buggy unfriendly! :)

Swordfish. The best quality fish I have ever had.
Old-skool cousins :)

The Slezakovie rodina
Trip to Etna. Long journey (to Sicily) and short stay - it was raining and freezing!
The main carpark in Etna. We did not go up to the main crater mainly because it was very very cold but also because it was expensive. I think it is an offence to ask 50 euro per person just for the lift+jeep to the top of Etna.
Curvy drive to Etna car park.

Piedigrotta di Pizzo. A church digged in a rock

View from Simona and Roberts apartment

This was the best beach I had ever been to.

Access to the beach.

Nina turned one in Italy.

Ako sme doma zabijali nudu

2009-05-09T16:54:00.008+01:00

Je maj, ale pocasie vobec majove nie je. Stale prsi, dnes o jedenastej doobeda auto ukazovalo 3 stupne celzia, vonku sme boli naposledy pred tyzdnom. Tak vyvijame rozne indoorove aktivity. Dnes sme nikam extra nesli, lebo nam Jaro odfrcal na aute na skusku (nacvicovali, idu hrat jednej tete na okruhle narodeniny dnes vecer.) Doma nuda, Carmel stale vymysla, tak som sa pridala a vymyslali sme spolu. Najprv rozne prikryvky hlavy, co sa jej velice pacilo, lebo som ju vzdy odfotila a potom ukazovala, ako vyzera. Potom sme sa fotili aj s kamoskou babikou a potom to Carmel prestalo bavit a zacala unikat zo stolicky, tak sme fotenie rychlo ukoncili a sla som ju zachranovat, nech sa z tej stolicky nezrype.

Here are some pics from today. We were so bored at home (and couldnt go anywhere because Jaro took the car and abandoned us - went to a band practice) that we started to do many "funny" things like wearing funny hats and taking pictures. Here are some of those:

portrait session: fiona

Carmel sa rada krmi. Ked jej dame hrozno, hrasok, slivku atd, mame na chvilu o zabavu postarane. Vzdy sa tak smiesne sustredene tvari, ked berie tie male veci do ruk :)

Carmel loves finger food. We often five her berries, grapes or rice cakes and she love to play with it and feed herself.

Carmel a ciapky

2009-02-05T22:32:00.009Z

Dnes Carmel nemala velmi naladu, ale aj tak som ju provokovala fotenim v ciapkach.
Najprv ju zaujal fotak..
Today I took some pics of Carmel. She wasn't in a good mood. First she was courious about our camera...

.. ale potom ju to uz prestalo bavit hehe
.. but then she got crossed with her mummy disturbing her with all the different hats.

Christmas 2008

2009-01-01T18:16:00.018Z

Tieto Vianoce boli pre nas velmi specialne. Jednak sme travili po 2 rokoch Vianoce opat na Slovensku a druhy super specialny fakt je, ze sme travili prve Vianoce s nasou dcerou Carmel Erin.
This year's Christmas was very special for us. After two years in Belfast we finally spent Christmas with our families. And it was twice as spacial because it was Carmel Erin's first Christmas.

Na Stedry den 24.12 sme boli u mojich (kamilinych) rodicov. Carmel mala stedrovecerne menu uz na obed: kapra so zeleninou. Velmi jej to chutilo, zjedla by to aj s tanierom.
24 th of December. We were celebrating with my (Kamila's) family. Carmel ate Carp - the traditional Christmas food. She loved it and wanted to eat the plate, too!

Dominik Prochazka, Kamila Kukuckova, Dana Sirkovska, Lenka Prochazkova
My brother and sisters

Carmel dostala lietadielko s cedulkou "prilet zas".
My parents gave her a plane with a tag "Fly back again"

Chlapi dostali rovnake svetre.

Viliho darcek zaujal aj starsie deti.

Adelka si cvicila chodenie v mojich "stekloch", tak ja som si na oplatku pocvicila chodenie v jej papuckach.
We swapped shoes with my niece Adela.

25.12 sme mali Stedry den v Devinskej u Kukuckovych. Boli taki zlati, ze 24 neoslavovali a presunuli stedrovecernu veceru aj darceky na 25.
25.12 celebrating Christmas with Jaro's family.

Carmelina sesternica Nina je iba o 4 tyzdne starsia, tak sme mali o zabavu postarane s dvoma babatkami. Na fotke: Brano Slezak, Nina, Petra Slezakova.
This is Jaro's sister Petra with her husband Brano and Carmel's cousin Nina. It was so much fun - a Christmas party with 2 babies.

Teta Miska (Carmel ju poslucha, aha ako salutuje. Rozkaz, vykonam.)
Auntie Miska

Petra nam dala perfektny darcek - tieto tricka, ktore sama vytvorila. Sme na nich my traja.
Petra made these T-shirts for us. She drew our family on them.

Carmel cestuje/Carmel travels

2008-11-23T08:31:00.008Z

Ked mala Carmel 4 mesiace a 3 dni, nastupila do lietadla smer Vieden. 30.10 sme leteli prvykrat domov. Cesta bola uzasna. Aj ked sme boli iba same dve, Boh nam doprial, aby sme po ceste stretli vela milych ludi, ktori nam pomohli. Doma sme boli vyse 2 tyzdnov a Carmel sa nacestovala. Na chalupu, do Prahy, do Banskej Bystrice, do Michaloviec.. Dokopy presedela v aute minimalne 25 hodin (spolu s babickou a dedom, ktori nam robili vylety, dakujeme!)

When Carmel was 4 months and 3 days old she boarded on a board of her first plane ever and flew home to Slovakia. Even if we went just two girls - Carmel and I; I praise God for giving us people who were a big help on our way home so the jurney was an awesome experience.
Carmel traveled a lot through Czech and Slovak republics and visited a lot of places. I counted the hours spent in the car and it was at least 25 for her.

Stretnutia s rodinou boli radostne, bolo prijemne byt opat s ludmi, ktori su nam najmilsi. Neskor sem pridam viac fotiek, zatial len Carmel so svojou sesternicou Ninou. (Nina sa narodila presne o 4 tyzdne skor ako Carmel)

It is a blessing to be surrounded by people you love and so the whole time was just great. I will post some more pics later on. For now just the one with her cousin Nina (born 4 weeks earlies than Carmel)

Slubene dalsie fotky:

Carmel s prababkou a pradedkom Prochazkovymi

Carmel so vsetkymi sesternicami a bratrancom

it's nice to have a camera in mobile phone. one is able to capture things just by the way.

v tescu mali zaujimavu "akciu".. kup dva za 3 libry ..
absolutely unbeatable price 2 for £3 !!

Mladez po skole skocila do Tesca. Bez ruksakov :)
kids went shopping to tesco and left their bags in front of it :)

Miska odletela

2008-09-08T09:59:00.007+01:00

Miska nam dnes leti domov, tak dam este nejake fotky z nasho spolocneho pobytu v Irsku. Bolo nam fajn, aj nam bude smutno.

I am posting some family pictures. Jaro's sister Miska is away, she flies back home today. We had a great time; here are some pictures.

Tieto prve 3 fotky su z prechadzky v Hillsborough. Tam sme boli aj s Lenkou a Stelkou, ked tu boli. Stelka tam iste nebola naposledy, v novembri k nam zavita opat :)

Tieto dve fotky som ukradla z fotiek, co nam tu Miska nechala z jej fotaku ..snad som mohla :)
To sme boli v lese pod Mourne Mountains (tam sme nasli toho malickeho dubaka!) - damska jazda. Jaro zatial odfukoval na luke.

okruhle narodeniny :)

2008-09-05T15:10:00.003+01:00

Na morskom dne

2008-09-01T17:50:00.011+01:00

Je u nas na navsteve Miska, tak sme sa vybrali v sobotu na vylet do mesta Newcastle, kde je moznost obdivovat najvyssie pohorie Irska (Mourne Mountains) a zaroven aj more. Jaro si dal slofika na luke a my 3 zeny sme zatial zabehli do lesa a nasli sme dubak :) sice malicky, ale ja som bola nadsena, znamena to, ze porastu.. takze sme tam asi neboli tento rok naposledy.
Bol odliv, more sa odlialo dost daleko a teda sme mali moznost prechadzat sa "po morskom dne". Morske dno nebolo velmi zaujimave, ale predsa len som sa posnazila o par zaberov. Jaro by bol na mna hrdy (?) tak som pouzila jeho logo ;)

We have a visit this week: Jaro's sister Miska is here. On Saturday we went to Newcastle and we found some mushrooms in the forest (and we ate them, of course :) ) . I was excited to know that you can find some eatable mushrooms here. We went for a walk to the beach as well and I took some pictures - I call them "on the sea ground". I stole Jaro's logo :) But I think he won't be angry with me..

Miska and Carmel:
Jaro miluje landrovery
Jaro loves land rovers
Prechadzka po promenade
Walk on the promenade
Prechadzka na plazi
Walk on the beach
Morske dno
Sea ground (it was low tide)

Po vylete boli viaceri ucastnici unaveni, takze spali do desiatej rano :)
Some us were tired and slept really long the following day.

Sorry guys.. we'll have you for dinner.

2008-08-22T15:41:00.003+01:00

babicka a dedko

2008-08-19T11:33:00.008+01:00

Opat tu ma Carmel babicku a dedka, minulu stredu prileteli Jarovi rodicia. Zajtra nam uz odlietaju, tak sme sa dnes fotili.

We have a visit again. Jaro's parents are with us. They are leaving tomorow so we took some pics today.

evening cuddles

2008-08-13T09:01:00.009+01:00

Tieto fotky vznikli vecer, tak som ich nazvala evening cuddles - "večerné túlenie sa". Hoci Carmel ma dobru naladu skor rano ako vecer, ten vecer bola extremne vysmiata.
These pics were taken last week on one evening when Carmel was in a good mood.

Vyuzili sme dobru naladu na spolocne fotky
We took advantage to take some "mum and dad pics"
Potom sme sa kupali.
And then we had a bath.
Obliect do pyzamka a spat
Dress your night dress (this one is from Simona :) ) and go to sleep

..teda, uspat. Skakanie na lopte zabera.
Or, lull the baby.. she likes to jump on the fit ball.

Sweet dreams!
A dnes v noci, prosim ta, nekrochkaj!

nice weekend

2008-07-28T00:48:00.004+01:00

takto pekne bolo cez vikend. boli sme na severe - pridali sme sa k skupine slovakov ktori prisli prekvapit katku na jej 30te narodeniny. viac foto neskor. mozno:)

we went to north coast - rope bridge, giants causeway and dunluce castle this weekend. we joined a group of slovaks who came to surpise katarina. she was 30(on friday?)! weather was just great.

ruka sa neda jest?

si ostrihaj nehty tatino!

Carmel's first TOYS

2008-07-23T09:40:00.004+01:00

Carmel zacala trosku sledovat, tak som jej dnes ukazala nejake visiace hracky. Celkom ju to zaujalo, asi na pol hodinku :) Inak je Carmel velmi zlata, vcera sme boli na navsteve u Jarovej sefky a cely cas (2 hodiny) bola hore a usmievala sa a hadzala ksichtiky, ze z nej boli vsetci na makko. Aj ja.. lebo som sa bala, ze bude otravna. A dokonca uz aj v noci spi, dnes bol rekord: musela som ju zobudit, lebo uz spala 5 hodin.. takze v noci bola hore iba raz.

Carmel started to pay attention to some toys so I put her under these toys and she was entertained for maybe half an hour.
Carmel is a lovely baby yesterday we went to visit Jaro's bosses house and stayed there for 2 hours. Carmel was awaik the whole time and she did not cry! She was smiling and happy so I was glad. And this night I had to wake her up to feed her because she slept for 5 hours. So, she is settling a bit now.

I had a wedding in Austria on Saturday. For more pictures please visit http://kukucka.wordpress.com/

V sobotu som fotil svadbu v Rakusku. Tu mozte najst viac http://kukucka.wordpress.com/

dedko a babka

2008-07-17T19:32:00.009+01:00

Tento tyzden su na navsteve dedko s babkou. Velmi mi pomahaju, zabavaju Carmel, moja mama vari, otec sa chysta varit na zajtra gulas.. proste, mame sa ako prasce v zite. Keby som v noci poriadne spala, tak mame raj na zemi :)
Ked sme doma, Carmel sa dost nudi a otravuje, ked sme vonku, tak spi. Paci sa jej jazdit v aute, v kociku. Ale najprv musi byt to auto - v nom zaspi a potom ju prelozime do kocika a je spokojna.
Zajtra ma Carmel tri tyzdne. Za svoj kratky zivot uz stihla navstivit rozne zaujimave miesta, aj ked .. ako spravny novorodenec, vsetko vzdy prespi. Jaro je zaneprazdneny, zajtra leti na Slovensko, ide fotit do Rakuska nejaku svadbu. Takze fotoreportaze ostali na mne. Prinasam teda zopar foto z navstevy babky a dedka.

We have a visit this week - Carmel's grandparents. They are excelent - helping to entertain Carmel, cooking lovely food (I will miss that!) If I had enough sleep at nights I would say that this is just a perfect time.
While at home, Carmel Erin is bored and noisy so we try to go out every day to keep her sleeping: she loves long rides in the car and walks in the pram. She just sleeps all the time.
Jaro is busy at the moment, tomorow he travels to Slovakia because he takes pictures of a wedding in Austria on Saturday so I have to update this blog so you know a bit about what we are doing:

Pavel, Vlasta a Carmel Erin

Jaro a moj otec sa vybrali na ryby. Jaro dostal morsku chorobu, takze caly cas sedel na lodi a cakal, kym to vsetko skonci :) a otec chytil jednu makrelu, ktoru doma potom zjedol. Ked som o stvrtej rano sla Carmel utisovat pod digestor, tak este stale kuchyna smrdela rybacinou..

Jaro and my dad went fishing. Jaro was sea sick so did not catch anything and my dad cought a mackrel.

Vcera sme boli na vylete v skanzene. Carmel sa zobudila na zaciatku, ze chce jest, tak som ju kojila v kostole... potom to cele prespala.

We were in Cultra (Folk museum) yesterday. Again, Carmel slept all the time.

Prve stretnutie v zivote s prasatom.
Encounter with a real pig.

Kamarati.. hlavne ak im date zrat. (to je ako Carmel)
Friends.. when you feed them. (like Carmel)

Dnes sme boli na exkurzii v parlamente. Vzal nas tam Neil, jeden nas kamarat zo zhromka, ktory tam pracuje.

Today we were at a tour in the Stormont (parliament) building. Neil - our friend from the church works there and he was so kind to show us the parliament house.

My sisters Birthday!

2008-07-05T14:07:00.003+01:00

My sister Petra is 20+ today!! Happy Birthday to you Petra!! At the picture is Petra with her husband Brano and 5 weeks NINA!
Moja sestra Petra ma dnes narodeniny!! Vsetko najlepsie! Na fotke Petra + Brano a 5 tyzdnova Ninka.

7 days - yesterday :)

2008-07-05T00:39:00.012+01:00

Carmel was 7days yesterday, but she is keeping us too busy so I couldnt publish the anniversary on time.
Carmel mala vcera tyzdnove narodeniny, ale nic nedostala. Vlastne dostala materske mlieko. Ale nezda sa, ze by sa s tym uspokojila. Niekedy plac nema konca kraja..
I have got these pictures from Lenka (Kamilas sister) and my mum and I just have to publish them. Enjoy!
Mamina aj lenka mi poslali fotky kam umiestnilu Karmel + niekoho v jej veku, je to dost dobre, musel som to sem pridat. Musim koncit, pocujem niekoho plakat..

My bosses came to visit Carmel yesterday. She cried most of the time:)
Karmel dnes navstivili moji sefovia. Jej cervena tvar vystihuje jej naladu. hehe

2008-06-29T10:46:00.008+01:00

Hi all! We are so happy to say that Carmel Erin (girl) was born on Friday 27th of June at 8:19 pm. She was 4.2kg and 55cm. She is big, yes :) Many thanks to everyone for your support. It is a busy time for us but Kamila and Carmel are both doing great.

Tak sme sa dockali. V piatok 27 juna o 20:19 sa nam narodila Carmel Erin. Vazila 4.2kg a meria 55cm. Chceli by sme sa vsetkym podakovat za to, ze ste na nas mysleli a modlili sa za nas. Je mile dostat SMS alebo emaily od vas, vieme, ze na nas myslite. Sme velmi radi, ze je tu teraz s nami aj prakticka pomoc - Kamilina sestra Lenka so Stelkou. Kamila a Carmel su v poriadku, zvykame si na novu babatkovsku rutinu.

Porod trval do kopy 35,5 hod. Bolo to velmi vycerpavajuce, tak sme vyuzili rozne sposoby utisovania bolesti: TENS, rajsky plyn, pethidin, remifentanil. Na fotke je s nami Anaesthetic doctor - on dozeral na aplikaciu remi (fialovy pristroj) a Midwife (porodna baba) Heidi (ona a este jedna studentka midwife s nami rodili, boli velmi, velmi mile)

A photo with Anaesthetic doctor and Midwife Heidi. All the staff was very very nice. You can see a violet machine on the picture. It is the reason why the doctor was there - the hospital introduced a new self controled pain relief remifentanil and he was there to look after the application. The labour was induced and long: 35,5 hours so Kamila was very tired and very sore so as a pain relief she used TENS, Gas and Air, Pethidin, and remifentanil.

Tesne po.
A while after.

Prva fotka z porodnice. V porodnici si dievcata nechali 1 noc, v sobotu poobede si ich hrdy otec Jaroslav odviezol domov. Nasledujucich 10 dni k nam kazdy den bude chodit Midwife kontrolovat, ako sa dari.

The first photo in the hospital. The girls stayed overnight and were taken home by the proud daddy on Saturday afternoon. There will be a community midwife comming to visit us every day next 10 days so we are glad that someone will be looking after our well being.

no baby yet!

for those who are constantly checking our blog: no baby yet:) here are we 5 days overdue.

Vcera sme mali trosku oslavu.. vramci mojich "tarchavych" moznosti. Pozvali sme Azorovych a este jednu fajn rodinku zo zhromka a posedeli sme pri mensej veceri a narodeninovom "kolaci", ktory si asi prvy raz a naposledy Jaro urobil sam.. Bolo nam fajn, aj mala Naomi sa ozyvala len ked bola hladna, bol to velmi prijemny vecer; dakujeme hostom za navstevu!

Yesterday we had a wee party.. I would like to thank all friends for comming - Katarina, Peter and Naomi; Gayle, Neil and Michael. It was a nice evening. Below a photo of Jaro and his birthday cake.. I think this was the first and hopefully the last time that Jaro had to prepare his b'cake by himself :)

Zachranene babatko

2008-06-02T13:14:00.008+01:00

Tu v UK sme sa stretli s viacerymi organizaciami, ktore pomahaju chudobnym a niektore sme aj financne jednorazovo podporili, jednu podporujeme pravidelne.
Cez dennik SME sme narazili na organizaciu Magna. Potesilo nas, ze aj na Slovensku su ludia, ktori si uvedomuju, ze na svete su ludia chudobnejsi a vo vacsej nudzi ako my.
Pozreli sme si ich projekty a rozhodli sme sa podporit projekt s nazvom Zachran babo.
Ide o projekt, do ktoreho vstupi HIV pozitivna matka - zahrnuje prenatálnu starostlivosť, pôrod, lekársku starostlivosť, baby kit, detské očkovanie a náhradnú stravu. HIV pozitivnej matke sa totiz nemusi narodit HIV pozitivne dieta. Preto pomocou tohoto programu Magna zachranuje detom zivot.
Podporili sme tento projekt a velmi sme sa potesili, ked nam minuly tyzden z Magny poslali fotku babatka, ktore sa vdaka takemuto projektu narodilo v decembri 2007 HIV negativne a jeho matka teraz v lete program konci. Chceli sme sa s vami o tuto radost podelit a so suhlasom Magny uverejnujeme aj fotku babatka. Je to chlapec z Kambodze.

Pre viac informacii navstivte: www.magna.sk

Hi friends! We are publishing a picture of a baby that was born in Cambodia and his mum is HIV positive. This lucky boy wasn't born HIV+ because of a Slovak organization called Magna that supports children in poor countries. His mum attended a one year program that includes hospital treatments before, during and after birth so the child won't be HIV+. We supported a program called Save a Child and our donation was spent to a whole year program for such children as this boy. We are very happy about this little one and wanted to share with all our family and friends.
The webpage www.magna.sk provides more information but unfortunately it is only in Slovak :)

JOKE

2008-05-16T17:17:00.001+01:00

Vtip..

ale nie vymysleny. Toto je vynatok z telefonatu mna (v robote) s jednym mexicanom, zamestnancom nasej firmy, ktory odo mna chcel poradit, lebo mu nieco neslo v jednom software.

Kamila: Stlac F9
Mexican: Ok. (pauza) Nefunguje to.
Kamila: Jak nefunguje?
Mexican: No, tlacim F9 a nic. Mam to tlacit postupne alebo naraz?

Joke..

this really happened. At work I was advising to a mexican guy (employee of the company I work for) how to fix something in a software. This is the funniest part of our dialogue:

Kamila: Press F9
Mexican: Ok. (silence) It doesn't work.
Kamila: How is it possible? It has to work.
Mexican: Well, I press F9 and nothing happens. Do I need to press it at once or one by one?

Mount Stewart

2008-05-05T18:02:00.013+01:00

Takto sme stravili nasu poslednu aprilovu nedelu. Bolo krasne pocasie, dalo by sa povedat, zatial najkrajsi den v roku. Ale tento tyzden, prvy majovy tyzden ma byt zas krasne, 20 stupnov, to je na Severne Irsko viac nez dobre.
Zostava Azorovci, Albin Masarik a Kukuckovci. Vydali sme sa spolu piknikovat nedaleko Belfastu na miesto zvane Mount Stewart. Je to taky pekny dom (vidno na fotke) s kraaasnou zahradou. Na nedelu bol ohlaseny jazzovy koncert, tak sa tam vybralo dost vela ludi, ako vidno na fotke.

Last Sunday of April: incredible weather for Belfast :) We went with our friends Katarina, Peter and Albin to a jazz concert in Mount Stewart in Ards peninsula.

Takto sme si uzivali krasny den a pohodovu hudbu. Katka uz je tesne pred porodom, tak sa jej velmi dobre nesedelo na zemi, este ze mala so sebou mobilne operadlo Peta :)

It was such a relax! Katarina will give birth soon so she wasnt very confortable sitting in the ground but she had her mobile seat Peter with her to support :)

Prechadzka po zahrade bola nadherna. Je to obrovska zahrada, ani sme ju nestihli celu prejst.

We walked the beautiful garden but did not have time to see it all, it's huge!

V jazierku plavali aj kacice a labute

Ducks, swans and other birds were decorating the lake

Albin na kurze fotografovania :)

Albin taking a photo course

"Velryba" - tak ma Albin nazval... no co uz, ked som v deviatom mesiaci.

Albin calls pregnant women "whales". Well, being in the 9th moth I feel like one.

Fotri?

Parents?

Mount Stewart je na poloostrove Ards, takouto cestou sme tam sli.

Our way to Mount Stewart through Ards peninsula.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Ako sa zbierali peniaze na charitu

2008-04-25T17:33:00.004+01:00

Minulu sobotu som bola s Katkou v kostole. Zbierali sa tam peniaze na jeden projekt v Afrike. Velmi sa mi paci styl, ktorym sa tu vyberaju peniaze a tak som chcela o tom napisat aj na tento blog, mozno pre inspiraciu pre cirkev na Slovensku. Momentalne prebieha zbierka na muzikal, ktory robi ECM, vola sa Druha sanca. (Odporucam projekt podporit, mate tam cislo uctu, tak ak chcete byt stedri, do toho!)
Kedze som si dnes vsimla, ze Katka napisala o tom prispevok na ich blog, tak vam odporucam si ho precitat. Su tam aj fotky, este ze Azorovci mali fotak, ja som fotak so sebou nemala.
Na akcii sa vyzbieralo dost vela penazi a pritom to nebola nejaka "masovka." V jednej miestnosti boli stoliky, ludia sa mohli obcerstvit kavou, cajom, dzusom a sladkym pecivom, mohli si kupit kolace, ktore darovali tetusky z cirkevneho zboru (ja som napr. kupila cely rebarborovy kolac za 3 libry. MNAM) Pri stole s obcerstvenim bola krabica na dobrovolne prispevky. Osobne mozem potvrdit, ze keby sa vyberali peniaze len tak - "do kosicka", tak by som iste nedala taku sumu, ako som minula v tu sobotu. Proste clovek citi, ze dava, ze robi dobru vec a este sa aj stretne s ludmi z cirkvi a porozpravaju sa pri kave. Ten pocit asi viac otvara penazenku :)
O druhej miestnosti viac pise Katka na ich blogu. My sme absolvovali proceduru starostlivosti o nohy a ruky. Robilo to take dievca, ktore popri zamestnani predava telovu kozmetiku. (Dana - dobry napad, ne? Urobit si reklamu plus pomoct) Namocili sme si nohy do vedra s vodou a nejakou solou, zatial nam pilnikovala nechty na rukach. Potom sme si mali urobit peeling noh. V tejto miestnosti s "procedurami" bola tiez krabica. A tiez to cloveku nedalo - nehodit tam nejake peniaze (nie mince..) a nepomoct dobrej veci.
Nakoniec len skonstatujem, ze davat je krasne, ale niekedy to stoji cloveka aj namahu. (napr, nemysliet na to, co som si za tie "vyhodene" peniaze mohla kupit. hihi) Ale ucime sa cely zivot a davanie je podla mna jedna z veci, ktoru sa clovek moze ucit stale. To je aspon moja skusenost.

Spring Fair in Malone House

2008-04-19T23:13:00.012+01:00

Malone House

Tento domcek sa vola Malone House. Je umiestneny v Belfastskej prirode v parkoch, konaju sa tu rozne akcie, napr. svadby a napr. aj kazdy rok jarny festival Spring Fair. Minuly rok sme tu boli so Simonou a Robertom (jaro o tom pisal tu na blogu)
Tento rok sme sli s Katkou a Petom. Od parkoviska k Malone House je to pekny stupak... tu na zaciatku vidime ucastnikov vyletu (zatial) plnych energie.. napr. Katka 2 tyzdne pred porodom.. vysliapat takyto kopcek je pre nas s bruchom uz celkom dobry telocvik.

This is a manor situated in Belfast parks called Malone House. A lot of events take place in here, today we went to Spring Fair - celebration of Spring. Last year we were here with Simona and Robert (Jaro posted some pics on this blog last year) and this year we went with Katarina and Peter. On the picture below you can see how enthusiastic they are - it is because this was only the beginning of our up-hill walk from the parking place to Malone House.

Vnutri bola vystava kvetov, tak som odfotila niektore zaujimave kytice (som si povedala, ze niekoho by to mozno zaujimalo - hlavne Jarovu maminu).

Some readers of this blog (especially Jaro's mum) like the art of floral design so I took some pics of a flower competition that took place inside the house.

Sutaz aranzovania kytic bola rozdelena do roznych tem, napr. toto bola tema holiday.

Topic: holidayVonku bol zabavno - naucny program, najma temy ekologickeho zamerania (reuse - reduce -recycle). Velmi sa mi paci, ze tu vedia zaujimavymi sposobmi oboznamit deti aj dospelych s problematikou odpadov a pod.
Toto bola taka (asi) zemegula zo starych spotrebicov.

The program mostly focused on environmental and earth - friendly issues, for example this is the Earth designed using various old electronics.

Mame ju v rukach :)

We have it in our hands :)
Jeden info-stanok patril organizacii, ktora zachranuje ohrozenych jezkov. Napr. tento videl len na 1 oko. Taka teta ho tam drzala v uteraku a deti ho mohli hladkat.

One stand belonged to an institution that cares about caltrops. This one can only see with 1 eye. A women held it in a towel and children could stroke it.

Farma, ktoru sme navstivi v januari s mojimi sestrami +detmi, Ark Open Farm, tam mala tiez stanok. Deti sa mohli fotit s malymi zajacikmi, mali tam ohradku s jahniatkami a prasiatkami.

The Arch Open Farm (near Belfast) was showing its animals - rabbits, lambs and these cute piglets.

30th week

Tridsiaty tyzden. Zatial bez komplikacii, uzivame posledne tyzdne vo dvojici. Narodit sa to ma niekedy v juni, tak sme uz zacali pozerat, ake veci mame a ake nam este chybaju.
We are enjoying last few weeks as a couple. Our baby is expected in June so we are starting to prepare things and plan what else we need to buy.

Ked som sa prehrabovala medzi detskymi vecami, tak som natrafila na satku, ktoru som kupila na Slovensku. Rozhodla som sa, ze si trochu potrenujem, ako sa viaze. Prve uvazy nic moc, dufam, ze sa to do juna naucim lepsie. Vankus, ktory simuloval Hraska, bol dost velky, tak mozno to bolo aj tym. Nakoniec sa mi to podarilo.
One of the first things I have bought is this baby sling so I am trying to learn how to use it. There are different ways you can tie it and I used a pillow to imagine better how it would be like with the baby in it. I was a bit struggling at the beginning but finally I got a nice tie.

latkove plienky / washable nappies

2008-03-19T18:59:00.004Z

Dnes mi prisiel katalog Green Baby – to je oblecenie a ine pre deti, tato firma podporuje pouzivanie organickych textilii a tiez organicku kozmetiku pre deti, cim v podstate prispieva k ich lepsej buducnosti. Citala som si v nom znova o probleme plienok a odpadu a napadlo ma, ze napisem o tom na blog.

Ked som prvy krat pocula napr. o bavlnenych plienkach, tak mi to prislo dost nechutne.. prat po decku okakane klasicke latkove plienky. Reakcia, “no fuj, vzivote...” Postupne som sa vsak dozvedela o nich viac, je okolo toho cely business – latkove plienky uz nie su len klasicke stvorcove, ale vyrabaju ich v tvare gatiek, v roznych hrubkach, z roznych materialov. Cim viac som o tom citala, tym viac sa mi zapacili a to, ze sme sa pre ne rozhodli, je najma z takeho eticko-ekologickeho hladiska. Po precitani roznych clankov o tom, ake su plenky obrovsky odpadovy (a praleso-niciaci) problem, mi prislo blbe z pohodlnosti pouzivat stale iba jednorazove plienky.

Preco sme kupili latkove plienky

(Niektore fakty z Green Baby)
Priemerna osoba vyhodi kazdych 7 tyzdnov odpad rovny svojej telesnej vahe.
V otazke odpadov su jednorazove plienky momentalne velkym problemom: za 2 a pol roka pouzivania jednorazovych plienok spotrebuje jedno dieta cca 1 tonu plienok.
Keby cele UK prestalo na rok pouzivat jednorazove plienky, usetrili by sa takmer 3 biliony plienok (ekvivalent 70.000 dvojposchodovych autobusov), ktore sa – podla niektorych odhadov, rozkladaju az 500 rokov.
UK vnima jednorazove plienky ako problem natolko, ze niektore mesta financne podporia rodiny, ktore sa rozhodnu pre latkove plienky (Belfast je v tomto samozrejme pozadu, ako vzdy :( ach jo)

Preco sme kupili plienky z bavlny Organic

Organicka = bavlna pestovana bez pesticidov alebo umelych hnojiv: lespie pre babo, lepsie pre prirodu :)

Drzim si teda palce (a aj Petre a Sandre, Katke, o ktorych zatial viem, ze by chceli tieto plienky tiez pouzivat)... plienky uz mame nakupene, uz len vzorne prat (samozrejme ekologickymi cisticmi...) a nezleniviet :)

Today as I read a text about environment and nappies in a catalogue called Green Baby (Organic baby clothing) I thought I could post something about our decision to use washable nappies.

When I first heard about washable nappies, the first picture in my mind was – must wash muslin squares filled with baby’s faecal ....shucks! Never! But then when I started to read more about these I found out that washable nappies does not need to be only muslin squares – there are loads of different kinds of nappies easy to use – they look like disposables and are similar system of use. Nowadays disposable nappies are a great environmental problem. I would like to bring up some of things I liked in the text about nappies in Green Baby:

An average person in UK throws away their body weight in rubbish every 7 weeks.

Disposable nappies are a big environmental problem: in 2 and half years a child produces approx. 1 tonne of disposables. If we all stopped (in UK) using disposables for a whole year we would save almost three billion nappies being thrown away, the weight of 70,000 double decker busses.

Some of the city councils in UK would support families (financially) to buy washable nappies. (Of course not Belfast Council... we are always a bit behind....)

We decided to buy washable nappies from organic cotton to help the nature, I believe it is better to our baby’s future, too.

Some of my preggy friends decided to use washable nappies as well, so GOOD LUCK. I wish us a lot of patience in laundering (and of course, don’t forget to use eko-friendly laundry products :) )

3d Hrasko

2008-03-12T19:02:00.006Z

V nedelu sme sa vratili zo Slovenska, stravili sme tam vyse tyzdna. Fotky dodame neskor, zatial len jednu - nas velky zazitok; videli sme Hraska "nazivo". 3D ultrazvuk je celkom zaujimava vec (len trochu unavne, ak je babatko zle natocene a nevidno ho), som zvedava, ked porovname Hraskov ksichtik po narodeni, ci sa to bude podobat. Zatial kazdy, kto videl fotky, hovori, ze sa podoba na Jara. (bola totiz natocena z profilu hehe) :)

We have spent a week in Slovakia and later we will surely post some pictures. In this post we would like to share a great experience we had - we saw our baby girl in 3D ultrasound. It is not easy to get good pictures because if the baby is in a wrong position you can't see her face. We were trying hard and I think we achieved good results. A lot of people say that she is like Jaro, so we will see in June :)

tu sa vraj strasne podoba na Jara:

everyone says she looks like Jaro on this picture:

tu nieco screamuje, alebo asi zyva..

this picture seems to me like she is trying to tell us someting:

Mne sa najviac paci na tejto fotke. No, uvidime, co z toho bude, ked to bude.. az sa ocitne na vzduchu :) Ale kazdopadne musim povedat, ze sa mi tento 3D zazitok pacil.

I like this photo the best. Well, we will see how she really looks like when she appears "on air":) in June. But I have to say that it was a wonderful 3D experience and we really enjoyed being able to see her.

carlingford

2008-02-12T23:55:00.001Z

When my sisters and their children were here we wanted to visit a place that we hadn't visited before so we travelled to the south to Carlingford. It is such a lovely city! We recommend it to anyone who likes a historical atmosphere while passing through a city. We visited Newcastle as well as we wanted to go to the beach.It was a lovely day

Ked tu boli Dana s Lenkou, chceli sme navstivit nejake miesto, kde sme este neboli. Vybrali sme malebne mestecko Carlingford, smer juh. Je to velmi male mestecko, ale posobi velmi romanticky. Je tu zrucanina hradu, pozostatok hradieb, mestske veze, brana, stara mincovna, opatstvo atd. Dycha to tam historiou. Deti to sice velmi nebavilo, ale fotili sa radi, ako vidno na fotkach

thomas mcgee one of canada founders

V opatstve sme sa na naucnej tabuli docitali, ze sa v minulosti cirkev venovala viac zhrnaniu majetkou ako svatemu zivotu. Mozno aj vdaka tomu mozeme dnes obdivovat krasnu ruinu klastora, ktory tiez vidno na fotkach.
Niektori skalolezci sa tam hned zacali liepat po stenach... a samozrejme, deti hned museli opakovat.

Z Carlingfordu sme sa vybrali na plaz do Newcastle. je to tiez velmi pekne miesto, pretoze ma more aj hory (na fotke za Vilkom mozno vidiet hory = toto su najvyssie hory Sev. Irska.)

lovely sea and sky in newcastle.

ja vidim v protismere a kamila v smere dost sme sa na tom pobavili. vraj vacsina ludi vidi otacat sa v protismere a niektori su schopni vidiet oba smery.

open farm

2008-02-01T22:04:00.000Z

Deti prejavovali kazdy den dost vyrazny zaujem o navstevu ZOO, tak sme ich vzali do alternativnej "ZOO" - farmy, kde mozu hladkat a krmit zvierata. Bolo to super, zazitok nie len pre deti.

During the visit of my sisters children were asking every day to go to the ZOO so we took them to an open farm. It was an exciting adventure not only for them.
Sliepky na fotke nizsie nas s Jarom dost pobavili - aha ake velke nohy!

These chickens were so funny - look at those long legs!

Toto je Alpaka. Lenkina kamoska :) Teda az dovtedy, kym jej neskoncil Alpakin chrachel na lici. Je to asi dost ziarlive zviera - vadilo jej, ze Lenka krmi granulami okrem nej aj ine zvierata a jednu granulu na nu vyplula a trafila ju rovno do tvare.

This is Alpaka. A friend of Lenka :) Well.. untill she haven't spitted on her face. She was quite jealous - Lenka was feeding other animals, too and Alpaca spitted a piece of animal food on her.
Tieto ovecky boli strasne zlate, skoda, ze som ich nemohla hladkat.. bola pri nich cedulka, ze tehotne zeny by nemali prist do kontaktu s ovcami, ktore maju mladata.

These lambs were so cute but I couldnt touch them - there was a note that pregnant woment should't get in contact with Ewes.
Jaro je z dediny, vsak vidno!

Jaro is originally from a village, as ou can see..

Toto bola matka prasnica, jej mladata vyzerali pritazlivejsie..

This was a pig mummy
Jaro nahanal tuto ubohu sliepku po dvore, ale stale mu zdrhala zo zaberu.

Jaro couldnt shoot this hen - she was escaping all the time.

Ulster Folk and Transport Museum

Dnes sme vyrazili do muzea - skanzenu, kde som bola naposledy s Jarom a jeho rodicmi minuly rok v marci. Je to v okoli Belfastu jedna zo zaujimavejsich veci, co sa tu daju vidiet. Muzeum ma dve casti, jedna cast je Folk muzeum - skanzen: mesto + farmy. Na farmach boli zvierata, takze sa Vili a Stelka tesili a myslim, ze hlavne kvoli zvieratam ich to tak bavilo a vydrzali tak dlho chodit - 5 hodin sme boli na nohach. Ja som si rozumela najma s tvorom o fotku nizsie: ta podoba...!!

Today we went to the Folk and Transport Muzeum. Nice trip but a bit windy. Children enjoyed animals on farms, so did I (see the picture below... )

Tato fotka vznikla v historickom obchodiku, predavac bol zhovorcivy a navrhol, ze nas vsetkych odfoti za pultom.

The man who looked after this historical shop was very nice and offered to take a picture of us.

Stelka a Vilko na mini stolickach v dome fotografa.

Ku koncu prechadzky po farmach mali Vili aj Stelka dost... ale aj my mamy :)
(mozno aj Hrasko, ale ten sa nastastie este moc nestazuje)

Too much walking.. these 2 pictures are from the end of the long farm walk... not only children were tired. So were we, mums :)

Fukal velmi silny vietor, BBC hlasilo 30mph.

BBC announced a strong wind - 30mph.

Doma sme sa stretli aj s Jarinom a oslavili sme Danine ****siate narodeniny.

We met Jaro at home and celebrated Dana's birthday.

Dana, Lenka, Stelka, Vilko

2008-01-24T20:29:00.000Z

Mame tu navstevu. Vcera vecer prileteli moje sestry + ich deti. Dnes bola celkom zima, sli sme do pevnosti Carrickfergus (fotky z pevnosti sme sem uz davali), kde sme stravili najviac casu vnutri hradu

We have a visit again. My sisters with their children travelled from Bratislava to Dublin and then to Belfast yesterday. Today we visited Carrickfergus castle. It was quite cold so we spent most of our time inside the castle

Hore na najvyssom poschodi su hry, decka to zaujalo, Lenka im pomahala s pocitanim policok.

On the top floor there are some games you can play. Children liked to play .. Lenka was supervising. :)
Dana vysvetlovala, ako sa hra sach, ale decka aj tak viac zaujala hra Hady a Rebriky (fotka vyssie).

Dana was explaining how to play chess. But they prefered Snakes and Ladders.

Decka sa stale vypytuju, kedy pojdeme do ZOO (teda.. viac sa vypytovali, kedy pojdeme do hrackarstva, ale tam sme uz boli, tak snad uz hrackarstvo nebude top attraction number one.) Teraz je vecer, deti uz spia a zatial co ja pisem tento post, Jarino vysvetluje Lenke a Dane, ako sa hra hra Carcassone. Odusevnene. Vysvetlovanie sa blizi ku koncu, tak idem hrat.

2008-01-20T16:35:00.001Z

Zacinam 20 tyzden.
Na fotke to vyzera, ze mam velke brucho, ale to je len tou fotkou. Toto "kimono" som dostala od Jarovej Babi (usila mi ho), chcela som sa jej touto cestou podakovat. Zatial ho nenosim, este mi donho nedorastlo brucho, ale myslim, ze za chvilu mi uz bude dobre.

For those who didn' t know, I am pregnant, actually starting 20th week. It seems like I have a big belly , but it is just because I wanted to show this nice peace sewed by Jaro's Granny. I can't wear it at this stage, but maybe will start to wear it in a few weeks as my belly grows bigger every day .

Na vrecku je vysita postava.. asi ja, ma to hnede vlasy :) s babatkom bungee jumping (da sa vyberat, ale je na snurke, aby sa nestratilo.)
There is a mummy on the pocket (maybe me) with this " bungee" baby (fixed on a string so I can loose it)

Zatial nevieme, ci je to chlapec, alebo dievca, ale o tyzden ideme na screening, tam nam povedia, ak bude vidno.. Spustime take tyzdenne mini hlasovanie, zaujima nas vas tip - chlapec alebo dievca?
We still don't know whether it's girl or boy, we will find out next week if they see something on the screen in hospital. :) We would like to know your bet - girl or boy?

rekapitulacia

na zaciatok roka mala rekapitulacia navstev v roku 2007. snazil som sa najst fotky ktore este neboli zverejnene a podla moznosti vyzeraju humorne.
mato a miska tu boli minuly rok dokonca dva krat. o tyzden a pol pride lenka a dana so stelou a vilkom, nevieme sa dockat. dost som sa pobavil pri vyberani fotiek, niektori "fotogenickejsi" by mohli mat celu vlastnu seriu. ale naco to tu pisem, aj tak to nikto necita. cau
we start new year by posting people who visited us last year. i tried to find the funniest pictures.

let it snow!!!

2008-01-03T23:11:00.000Z

it is snowing right now! we just came home from first pregnancy workshop in hospital - amazing winter in belfast finally, so i took some fast pictures and published immediately. here you can see how excited we are. it reminds us of slovak winters so much!

konecne zima ako sa patri. prave sme boli v nemocnici na rodicovskej pripravke alebo ako sa to vola a ked sme sli domov, vonku uz krasne snezilo. rychlosom spravil zopar fotiek, lebo som cakal ze sa to bude topit rychlo. zatial sa vsak drzi a my sme z toho dost mimo:

few hours later.. cars stucked in the snow on the street. all four cars couldnt move.
i couldnt just stay home take pictures and laughing so i went help
but it didnt help so we were just chating with this guy. he has slovak colleagues.

Cesnakova v bosniaku

2007-12-22T18:03:00.000Z

Dnes sme mali na obed uuuplnu mnamku. Velmi nam tu chyba slovensky chlieb, tak som dnes upiekla dva male chleby, ktore Jaro naplnil kremovou cesnakovou polievkou. Toho cesnaku tam bolo az az - mnam nas to vystipalo. Tak som si povedala, "este ze dnes nikam nejdeme" ... ale som zabudla, ze dnes ma k nam prist vecer Timo (Katkin brat) .. chudak :(

This is our today's "pre-Christmas" lunch. I made an effort to do a potato-wheaten bread and Jaro "stuffed" it with strong garlic cream soup. Delicios! (but a bit smelly :) hehe)

I love this man in the kitchen

belfast!

2007-12-15T20:08:00.000Z

on friday i took a panorama picture of belfast from 22nd floor of one building in the center. i went there with my colleague gavin who arrange the entry for us. gavin thanks for taking me with you!

v piatok som bol s kolegom fotit vecerny belfast. fotili sme z 22 poschodovej budovy v centre a je odtial pekny vyhlad na radnicu, kolotoc, vianocne trhy pred radnicou, kopce vlavo a vpredu belfastsky zaliv.

petra a brano

we had a visit during last weekend. my sister and her husband came to visit us. i even didnt know they are caming, so it was a big surprise for me! here are some photos from trip to carrickfergus.

cez vikend boli u nas petra a brano. vobec som nevedel ze pridu, bolo to prekvapenie. prekvapili ma na vianocnych trhoch.
na mojej snahe aby trochu zapozovali sa obaja dobre zabavali, no napriek (vdaka) tomu vyzeraju na fotkach super

i took some quick portraits of petra and brano. they were laughing on my effort to get them relaxed, so they are in good mood on the pictures.

na vrchnom poschodi sme si zahrali rebriky a draky. brano vyhral.

na zaver dna sme zasli na vianocne trhy pred belfast radnicou. tento rok je vedla poslavene aj belfastske koleso.

in the evening we went to belfast international christmas market. this year is just beside the city hall big wheel - belfast eye.

NAVSTEVA!
GIANT'S RING

Vcera k nam prisli Petra s Branom. Jaro nic netusil, takze to bolo celkom fajn prekvapko. Dnes sme boli na vylete na Giant's Ring, co je v Belfaste take stare miesto (vraj asi 3000 pnl), kruh s 200m priemerom, v strede ktoreho je neoliticka priechodna hrobka, teda.. toto miesto pravdepodobne davno sluzilo ako hrobka, s urcitostou na da povedat len to, ze v 18 storoci sa tam organizovali dostihy.

This is a picture of Giant's Ring in Belfast. It consists of a circular enclosure, 200 m in diameter, surrounded with an 4 m high earthwork bank with five entrances, and a small neolithic passage grave slightly off-centre. The tomb is believed to date from ca. 3000 BC, and the bank slightly later. In the 18th Century the site was used for horse racing.

Haus des Meeres

I went to Vienna on Saturday - brought my nephew and niece: Stelka (and her father Robo), Vilko with me. We went to visit Jaro´s family who live in Vienna. There is a nice aquarium in Vienna called Haus des Meeres and we went to take a look. It was nice: a lot of fish and snakes and two crocodiles as well. We had a lot of fun.

V sobotu poobede sme sa vybrali so Stelkou, Vilkom a Robom do Viedne na navstevu Jarovej rodiny a akvaria, ktore volaju Haus des Meeres. Bolo tam vela ryb, plazy a dokonca aj dva krokodily. Bola sranda, len mam malo peknych fotiek, lebo tam bola dost tma. Tak aspon zopar:

Home sweet home

Dnes som prisla do Bratislavy a privital ma SNEH. Nadsene sme sa s Danou vybrali na prechadzku nocnou Bratislavou a nieco som aj odfotila, nech mam pamiatku na ..mozno moj jediny sneh v tomto roku.V poslednych dnoch som prezivala aj takmer posadnutost slovenskym jedlom, stale som v Belfaste snivala, ze co si dam... som tu iba 6 hodin, ale stihla som toho celkom dost, od radosti som pojedla vsetko, co mi prislo pod ruku. Number one je CHLIEB, ten mi chyba stale. S parizskym salatom a salamou. Potom termix, aj o tom som snivala. Samozrejme aj bryndyove halusky so slaninou, paprika (taka ta ina ako sa predava v Belfaste) a kopec malych hovadiniek. Od radosti som nevedela, co skorej heheSkoda, ze tu nie je so mnou Jarino, ale ja mu prinesiem trosku domoviny domov.. kobasa, bryndza a pod. Len ten sneh sa neda. Skoda. Ale ... snad sa Belfastske pocasie vylepsi, uvidime :)

Hi all!

I am back home. Just for a few days. This time I mean home=Slovakia. I enjoy our food (I was dreaming about it lately so I can´t stop eating. Above all, OUR BREAD. I miss it so much.)

It was snowing all day today so my sister Dana and I went for a short walk to the city center. here are some photos.

vylet do donegalu

trip to donegal

ked bol u nas na navsteve kamarat mato z faerskych ostrovov, spravili si mne si vylet do donegalu. pridala sa ku nam gabika a azori s timom.
when friend martin from fo visit us we went to donegal. we went there with gabika and azors and timo.
pohlad na hreben skal po ktorom sme sli. niekde tam je aj najvyssi utes na ostrovoch.
biggest clif of ireland.
vazne rozhovory pocas cesty na vrchol.
text in the cloud: i have a big lens at home. this size. answer: i dont believe you!
pocasie bolo pekne, slnko svietilo, neprsalo, ale bola poridna zima ktoru znasoboval silny morsky vietor.
timo
takto fukalo. vazne bol obcas problem kracat. minuly rok tu vraj odfuklo nejake dievca dole z utesu. neviem ci je to pravda.
there was really very windy.
potom sme sli k moru na takuto krasnu piesocnu plaz, krasne jaskyne ktore sme nenasli a krasne skaly, pri ktorych nam mato spravil pekne fotky, mozte ich vidiet na jeho blogu.
beautiful sand beach in donegal, sun, grass and nice curved and shaped stones
foto zo zahrady hradu z ktoreho nemam ani jednu fotku. dufam ze azori maju a ze daju na blog. hm?

Nas kamarat Hushe..
Our friend Hushe...

..vcera u nas varil Zimbabwske jedlo: hovadzinu so zeleninou a ryzu s arasidovym maslom.
Znie to ako zaujimava kombinacia, ale chutilo to vyborne.
Po obede sme si dali slovensky dezert - puding :)

..cooked for us traditional food from Zimbabwe: beef meat with vegetables and peanut butter rice.
For european people this can sound like an untypical combination but it tasted nice.
After lunch we had a slovakian dessert: puding (something similar to custard).

HUSHE THANKS AGAIN FOR THE LOVELY FOOD AND YOUR VISIT
Next culinary session will be stuffed squid on wine ;) (Hushe said that squid is not his favourite food.. so I want to convince him that if you pripair it nicely, it can taske lovely)

Nasa dalsia kulinarska akcia s Hushem bude, ako sme sa vcera dohodli, plneny kalamar na vine. Hushe totiz povedal, ze kalamar mu nepripada ako lakave jedlo, tak ho chcem presvedcit o opaku..uvidime.

fotka z augusta

vtedy tu este bolo teplo. dlho sme nic nepisali, nebol cas ani internet. objavil som este nejake fotky ked tu bola miska a potom jeden vylet s matom... zistil som, ze nejake fotky z toho vyletu nam chybaju, lebo som fotil na matovu kartu a tu si odniesol domov - aj s nasimi klucami od bytu. hehe

V sobotu sme boli na Belfast Castle...

We visited Belfast Castle on Saturday...

v sobotu bolo krasne, tak sme sa vybrali na hrad. Ja som tam este nebola, Jaro raz. Pocasie bolo nadherne a park okolo hradu bol tiez pekny, mozno neskor bude este viacero fotiek, teraz niekolko fotiek Jarina:

we had a nice weather on Saturday so we decided to go to the Belfast Castle. I haven't seen it yet and Jaro just once. We liked the park and all the nature around the castle. Surely we will post some more pics, for now just some fotos of Jaro:

V parku boli lavicky bez operadiel, Jaro predvadza, ako by sa oprel, keby tam bolo operadlo..

The bench did not have a backrest so Jaro was pretending how it should have been if it was so..

V parku sme nasli tento stary pen a na nom asi 3 druhy hub..plus Jaro:

An old stree stump. We found 3 species of mushrooms on it.. plus Jaro:

Vybrali sme sa aj do parku Cavehill. Da sa vysplhat az na taku skalu odkial vidno cely Belfast, ale nam sa tam moc driapat nechcelo, tak sme vybehli len tak, kde sa koncili stromy a odkial bolo vidno na zatoku Belfast Lough. Postava opat Jaro :)

We went to the Cavehill park but did't climb up to Cavehill, just walked to where the trees end and you can see the Belfast Lough. The man in black - Jaro again :)

2007-09-28T14:38:00.000+01:00

Nejake informacie o nasom vsednom kazdodennom zivote..

V Belfaste sa nam oskaredieva, je zima, ja chodim v kabate uz tyzden a Jaro si dnes uz tiez obliekol zimnu bundu. Zastavky su rano posolene (aj ked v noci klesa teplomer na min. 4 stupne.. takze nechapem naco solia..) Len Belfastanky si myslia, ze je este leto a chodia v sandalkoch bez ponoziek a v tristvrtovych nohaviciach.

Nemyslim, ze uz prichadza zima, buduci tyzden sa ma vraj zas oteplit. Ale pripadam si, akoby uz zachvilu mali byt Vianoce (vcera sme v tescu kukali, ze uz predavaju vianocne pudingy a panetone..) a hlavne, pripadam si, akoby sme tu uz zase boli straasne dlho a na dovolenke doma pred sto rokmi.

Cez vikend bol u nas na navsteve Matko Sirko a Gabika. Vybrali sme sa na vylet aj s Azorovymi na zapadne pobrezie, bolo krasne a urcite neskor dodame aj nejake fotky.

Chcela som vam opisat nas kazdodenny zivot, ako sa pise v nadpise. Takze: je piatok, tri hodiny poobede. Jaro je na kurze anglictiny a ja sedim v robote. Stretneme sa o 22.30, ked Jaro pride pre mna autom, ktore nam na mesiac pozicala nasa kamoska Emma (odcestovala do Afriky).

Jaro chodi na anglictinu dvakrat do tyzdna, takze teraz sme obaja poctivi studenti: on si robi ulohy a ja sa tiez ucim, v novembri ma caka jedna medzinarodne uznavana skuska zo spanielciny.

Internet doma este stale nemame. Mali by sme ho mat zaciatkom oktobra, ale ja by som tomu po vsetkych skusenostiach, ktore tu mam s vybavovackami, moc neverila.

Vcera som nasla v tescu drzkovu polievku.. v polskom kutiku :) Mnam

Cez vikend mozno pojdeme omrknut jedno miesto, kde mame info, ze mozu rast hriby... uz sa mi o tom aj snivalo a v tom sne sme nasli poriadne dubaky, tak uvidime, ako pochodime.

Aby tento vsedny clanok bol zavrseny aj nejakou vsednou fotografiou, na zaver prinasam dve fotky z mojej roboty. Na prvej vidite nas "mexicky team" a na druhej ma vidite s aparatom na usiach, ktory velmi nepouzivam, lebo sa mi casto stava, ze mi volaju ludia, ktori maju v pozadi strasny hukot (nasa firma vyraba motory a generatory), tak radsej drzim klasicke sluchatko, ktore si v pripade potreby v pauzach davam dalej od ucha. Vdaka tomu som sa zdokonalila v pisani jednym prstom :)

Kuric and Babylon

pocas nasho pobytu v SR sme navstivili letohradok Babylon. Teda.. to, co z neho ostalo. Toto je jeden z mojich prvych pokusov o panoramu.. :)

we visited an old villa called Babylon. This is one of my first panoramic pictures.. :)

dovolenka na slovensku

holidays in slovakia

Stravili sme nieco vyse tyzdna na Slovensku. Videli sme podstatnu cast rodiny a tak sme ich sportretovali. Najlepsie objekty, ako to pre mna byva, su deti.

We spent a nice week in Slovakia.. visited almost all family and took some pictures of them.. Children are always the best models

Adelka

Adelaide :)

Moj Otec s Adelkou skakali na fit lopte.. vzniklo z toho niekolko zaujimavych zaberov s najroznejsimi zabavnymi "ksichtami". Jeden z nich:

My father and Adelka jumping on the fit ball.

Na jednom romantickom mieste blizko velkomesta Partizanske, konkretne dedina Brodzany, konkretne romanticky parik Kuricov pod vrbou.

My sister and her husband near the city where they live. We went there for a wee trip (a village Brodzany, if you want to check in google.)
V tej istej dedine - Brodzany. Viliam Sirkovsky, Stela Prochazkova a tehly. Tehly mi pripominaju Belfast :)
My sisters's children Vilko Zbirko and Steloslava.

Dedina Brodzany nachadzajuca sa pri Partizanskom je inak velmi pekne miesto pre stravenie nedelneho popoludnia. Maju tam taky letohradok, ktory sa vola Babylon a maju tam aj kastiel s peknym velkym parkom. Na ceste do parku sme este "tejkli" Stelku pri stene..

Tato fotka je z navstevy uja Stanka. Ujo Stanko, Stanislav Pavlik, je rodinny priatel Kukuckovych. Kedze uz do tejto rodiny patrim aj ja, tak uz uja Stanka poznam, tak vam ho mozem priblizit ako uja, ktory rad opravuje auta, kazdy den cvici, ma zenu Vlastu, syna Vlasta a psa, ktory by sa stale chcel skrabkat na brusku a byva v Devinskej Novej Vsi. Fotka u Pavlikovych doma, kam sme sa odviezli autom (je to asi o tri ulice dalej hihi)

On this picture from the left: our friend Stanislav, Jaro's father, Jaro's mother

Autom sme sa pocas nasej dovolenky vozili dost, napr. do Prahy a naspat a do Zvolena, Bystrice a do tatier, odkial je nasledujuca fotka. V tatrach sme stravili 2 dni, stale prsalo, ale nevadi, lebo v lese moc neprsalo.. aha kolko hribov sme nasli!! (no, trosku nam pomohli aj Jarovi rodicia a Miska chichi)

We have a nice habit in Slovakia. We go to the forest and collect mushrooms. But be careful! Sometimes it can be a dangerous hobby... First of all: some of the mushrooms can be poisonous

and also: watch out the dangerous bears in our mountains. First they catch you then they tear you to pieces and eat you. :) Fortunately, we didn't meet any bears

2007-09-12T15:41:00.000+01:00

Bon voyage!

After saying 100x goodbye to everyone in Slovakia we will have to say one goodbye here in Belfast as well... Our good friends Simona and Robert are leaving Belfast on Saturday and will be traveling the next few days across Europe... the destination is Italy. And it is not just holidays.. They are leaving Belfast forever :(

How it all started: I met Simona in PriceWaterhouse Coopers in Belfast. That was in october 2006 and since that time we met in our houses for dinners, we went out together, climbed Slieve Donard (the highest mountain) together, went to Scotland together...To check some pictures you can see also their blog. I loved dinners when Simona prepared her delicious food! I am a bit sorry that I have a work where I work till late evening almost every day.. If it was not so I am sure we would spent much more time together. We are gona miss you! But I am sure we will meet again.. Calabria? Vienna? Bratislava? Belfast? Rome? See you some time somewhere :)

HASTA PRONTO!

Po mnohych luceniach na Slovensku sa budeme lucit aj tu v Belfaste...
V sobotu odchadzaju nasi priatelia, Simona a Robert, do Talianska. Co nas mrzi je, ze sa nejedna o dovolenku ale odchadzaju natrvalo. Simona a Robert boli jedni z ludi, ktori nam boli najblizsie. Pozname tu sice vela ludi, ale nakolko ja mam taku trochu blbu robotu co sa tyka casu - musim tam byt aj vecer - tak sa velmi nestretavame s vela ludmi, neni cas. Simona a Robo boli z tych, s ktorymi sme sa stretavali najcastejsie a velmi radi. O niektorych nasich spolocnych aktivitach sme pisali aj tu na blogu, napr. sme sli spolu na najvyssi kopec Slieve Donard, do Skotska atd. na tej farebnej casti fotky napr. nalievame tradicny alkoholicky napoj zo severu Spanielska: Cidra. V krcmach ho tam serviruju takymto sposobom. Ked sa Simona vratila z dovolenky zo Spanielska, tak nas to ucila... ako vidite z fotiek, najhorsie to islo mne hihi
V sobotu odchadzaju autom, cesta do Talianska bude trvat niekolko dni. Kupili si stan, vraj budu po ceste stanovat.. Tak uvidime, ako to dopadne.. mozte si to neskor pozriet na ich blogu (su tam aj nejake fotky zo Skotska, ak by si niekto chcel kuknut)
Najviac mi budu chybat spolocne vecere, hlavne tie, ktore sa organizovali u nich, lebo mam strasne rada Simonine dobrotky. Je dobra kucharka. No a za Jara poviem, ze jemu bude chybat jej tiramisu :) ale... uz sa na to chystam, chcem aj ja skusit "upiect". Tak snad aj moje bude dobre.

Jarino momentalne pracuje na fotkach zo svadby ktoru fotil v Bratislave, takze fotky a zazitky zo Slovenska pridame neskor. Stale na to spominam, bolo nam uuuuplne super. Musime to stihnut publishnut este skor ako sa vydame na vylet s Matom Sirkom, ktory prilieta buduci piatok... :) To bude zasa fotiek.. Matko, uz sa na teba velmi tesime! A aj na Gabiku Sirkovsku, aj ta nas pride navstivit. Zas bude zabava... A Kurici by neprisli? Ze by sme zopakovali majovy zlet Sirkovskych v Belfaste? chichi

Scotland II

kam sme isli tou lodkou, prinasame v nasledujucej "reportazi"
Navsteva suostrovia Treshnish Islands. Jeden z ostrovov sa vola Lunga a v lete tam zije kolonia Puffinov. Zdrzia sa iba zopar mesiacov. Vacsinu roka travia v Atlantickom oceane, ziju vraj na vode. Na Lunga ich privadzaju rodicovske povinnosti. Nakolko si chrania mlade, alebo sa neboja (jedna z tychto dvoch moznosti) mozete sa k nim priblizit dost blizko. Tento typek celkom zapozoval:

These pictures were taken in our trip to Treshnish Islands. We visited the Island of Lunga. This Island is special because during the summer there is a colony of Puffins growing up their little babies. You can come really really close to them. The reason will be.. or they are not afraid of human beings... or they feel like they have to protect their babies hidden in the ground.

Opat sme spominali na Fajery :)

It reminded us Faroe Islands :)

Vyhlad z Lunga ocami musle

Beautiful Lunga landscape

Tato lodka nas vylozila a po niekolkych hodinach prisla nalozit. Pristav? Ziadny... teda vlastne pardon, oni povedali, ze je to pristav. Prirodny. Jedna babicka, ktora sa tam tiez vybrala na vylet, ani nevystupila. Ostala v lodke. (vystupovalo sa rovno na take velke sutre)

This is the port... they called it natural port.. but there was nothing but stones :) One poor old lady even didn't force herself to try to leave the boat because the stones didn't seem very friendly for older people..

Dalsi ostrov bol Staffa. Nachadza sa tam taky isty utvar ako na Giant's Causeway. Akorat ze je z takych kamenov zlozeny cely ostrov. Dokonca sa da ist aj do takej jaskyne. Ale dost to tam smrdelo...

The next Island is Stuffa. The whole Island is made of the same kind of stones as Giant's Causeway. But it is bigger and you can also visit a cave... but it was pretty smelly.

Navstivili sme aj hlavne mesto, Edinburgh.. ale nie takymto busom... ten prefrcal okolo nas taaaaaaaaaaaaaaakouto rychlostou (rychlostou Photoshopu :) )

We visited also Edinburgh. This is a turist bus there.

Edinbourgh mi velmi pripominal Prahu. Je nadherny. Viac fotiek vam ukazeme asi az osobne... ved uz vo stvrtok ideme domov! :) velmi sa na vas vsetkych tesime.

Edinburgh ..to me.. is a bit similar to Prague. I loved the city center's atmosphere. You could feel the history.

scotland

Do Skotska sme isli na vylet na 4 dni. Zviezli sme sa s Robom a Simonou. Vyrazili sme vo stvrtok, 12 jula v skorych rannych hodinach na trajekt. Na trajekte sme sa dost nudili a cely den sme boli unaveni, lebo sme sa pred tym velmi nevyspali

We went for a short trip to Scotland in July with Simona and Robert. We were a bit tired the first day because we left Northern Ireland by ferry in the early morning hours.

na uvod trochu osobna fotka, aby jaro splnil co slubil. unaveni sme sedeli na kamenoch pri nadhernom vodopade

tired near a waterfall. Scotish nature is wonderful!

Jarino vravi, ze toto je najkrajsia fotka zo Skotska :)

Jaro says this is the best foto he have took in Scotland

V obchode s Kiltmi...

Kilts......

V piatok sme sli na celodenny vylet lodkou. Viac fotiek z vyletu neskor. Vyrazali sme z pekneho mestecka Oban (nachadza sa na zapade)

On Friday we went for a boat trip to Staffa and Treshnish Islands. We departed from a nice city in the west called Oban.

Najprv sme sa plavili trajektom na ostrov Mull. Tie trajekty tam inac brutalne znecistuju vodu. Ked sme sa vecer pred tym sli prejst, na kamennej plazi sa to smykalo... kamienky boli obalene sliznatou hmotou, asi olej, benzin, alebo podobny humac.

At first we took a ferry from Oban to the Isle of Mull.

Cesta trajektom na ostrov Mull trvala cca hodinku, tak sme sa po ceste zabavali tym, ze sme krmili cajky. Tato bola strasne drza, furt "krakala" a zobrala.

The ferry took us about one hour so we passed the time feeding the seagulls. They were a bit cheeky. This one, for example, was very noisy asking for some food.

Zavrela hubu len ked sa sustredila na chlieb letiaci k nej

It only shut up when it saw a peace of breat flying towards it's mouth

No a dokonca bola tak smela, ze si vzala aj z ruky. Tak sme sa skamaratili. Ked sme prestali hadzat chleba, kruzila nam nad hlavami a vsetci sme dufali, ze po jedle nebude vykonavat potrebu :)

Finaly it trusted me so much that it eat from hand

Vyhlad na ostrov Mull

The Isle of Mull

Po ostrove sme sa viezli autobusom a celu cestu nam sofer rozpraval zaujimavosti. Priviezol nas do pristavu, kde nas cakali male lodky. V pristave lovili kraby a toto tu na fotke su odpadky. Ked lovci pridu z lovu na kraby, pretriedia ich. Skapate by sa asi tazko predavali.

This is the crab garbage. I think that when the "crab hunters" catch some dead pieces they have to throw them away because thay wouldn't be able to sell them

Posledna fotka je z lodky. To, kam sme sa tou lodkou doplavili, bude nabuduce....

The last foto is from the boat. And where the boat was heading to? You will see it in the next post...
