the past three days

"well hello sunday morning!" i say. "what have you been up to for the past three days?" sunday morning asks.

i think these pictures speak for itself. so let's start with thursday:

it was meant to be an evening with a bit of culture in the form of a theatre play. however my friend got it all wrong and there was no theatre that night. instead we staged our own play at lokal with beers and greens. well, what else is there for miss green to drink... :)

on friday it was much calmer evening. i went to babysit my friends' kids, so they could enjoy time for themselves. it was such a quiet night and they were well behaved. so this snap above is from my journey there - a very strangely looking man with hood on, a long white beard and weird sandals (and yes, it was freezing outside) - and i wasn't the only one whose attention he caught...

and finally yesterday was filled with my new obsession of downton abbey tv series and making quiches. because i am going on a brunch today, i made one pumkin & spinach quiche (picture above) and a typical one - quiche lorraine (tried it for breakfast and it tastes good!)

in the evening i had a first taste of this year's grand restaurant festival and went with my gourmet friend to essensia restaurant at mandarin hotel. it was delicious and i felt spoiled. the service for very good and really, i think they totally get the purpose of this festival. kudos to marketing department!

happy new dragon year!

so here we have it - a new chinese year! 2012 is the year of black water dragon. and i am certainly looking forward to it - because - i read today that i have lucky element "water" and this means it should be great for me :) well, it literally says this: " It's very good, 2012 is a strong Water year. There is nothing can stop the luck coming to you. You can feel it and people can see good luck over you all the time." so let's see what happens, i am actually getting bit excited about this year of dragon now.


if you want to check what your lucky element is, go to this website: http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/Chineseastrology.htm

it also said i should get something red or if not, at least green - so i bought this wizard of oz necklace and got both. i hope it will bring me all the good luck i need for this year.

on route to prague

it was another very short trip to bratislava, however i had very nice time with my mum and my grandma who got bit injured in the morning but kept smiling as she always does. i sometimes wonder how she does it. so, here is a wish for her - get your arm back in order! love you x

and not to forget my mum, here's a song she recorded when she was roughly six years old and she was very shy to sing it - http://soundcloud.com/tvtezz/vrstiek#
it's just so cute :)

blue monday

~^well, apparently today is the most depressing day of the year~^

it's certainly good to know that from now on, it will be just better. so that's why i dedicated this day to make an excellent pumpkin risotto and watched the golden globes - yes, it was dedicated to myself.

very short trip to wien

first we took tram no.1 to karlsplatz and from there we walked though the city



took pictures of ourselves - old school style



looked out for interesting details :)



and went to nachtasyl for a proper beer (not that i am any proper beer drinker ;)

the welcomings of the year 2012

tasty rose moet for pre NYE drinks night with friends!



the first day of the year 2012 - with bára



on the way back to prague from the mountains we got stuck in a traffic, i spotted a tree with snow and apples on, shame the photo doesn't do it justice

Happy New Year!!!
