Instagram jesen je obarvana sivo rumeno. Mogoče mi pa sčasoma postanejo všeč ti meseci.

Instagram fall came in gray and yellow. I just might learn to love it someday.

V Divači je bilo v petek zvečer v zraku nekaj posebnega … Polna luna, super amient letnega kina Muzeja slovenskih filmskih igralcev, tisti retro zvok predvajanja starih filmskih kolutov, zvezdno nebo in prijetna družba. Ob ogledu serije starih kratkih filmov o Krasu nam smo se navduševali nad posnetki iz časov, za katere se zdi, da so se tudi v resnici odvijali v črno-belem. Ob koncu smo se spet sprehodili skozi muzejsko trgovinico in psssssst – na zalogi je le še nekaj kitajskih Kekcev, zato hitro pot pod noge!

There was something in the air on Friday in Divača … Full moon, great atmosphere at the open air cinema of the Museum of Slovenian film actors, that special sound of old movie film rolls running, stars in the sky and nice company. We were really impressed by the selection of short movies about Slovenian Karst region from the good old times that seem to have been happening in back-and-white mode only. At the end we also walked through the museum shop again and I saw that they still have a couple of Kekec posters left :)

Pred kratki sem pri pospravljanju starih predalov naletela na pravo malo bogastvo – celo mapo že davno pozabljenih letrasetov! Kljub temu da gre za prastaro tehnologijo, sem se s pravim retro veseljem lotila barvanja, kombiniranja, centriranja in fejkanja strešic. In omg, če je kdo slučajno že pozabil – časi pred računalniki so bili resnično zamudni …
—
When i was cleaning one the drawers i came across a small fortune – a whole map of old letrasets! It didn’ take long before my retro spirit kicked in and i started transfering the letters on paper, making cominations and trying to fake the Slovenian č, š  and ž letters. And omg, I must say – good old days were really extremely time-consuming …

Ne samo, da je res že skoraj pomlad, tudi moj mali zeliščni nasad že živi. Močno upam, da se bo kmalu lahko znašel tudi že na krožniku ;)
—
Spring time is almost here and my little herbs are beginning to grow gradually. Hopefully they will soon end up on our plates ;)

Se skoraj bojim napisat, da ne pobegne … ampak, trikrat hura za zgodnjo pomlad!
—
I’m a bit affraid to write it down, so I won’t jinx it … but spring is almost here!

Ni večje zabave od drsanja po zamrznjenem koseškem bajerju! In prav vsako leto, ko se podam na pot po ledu se mi zdi, kot da sem zakorakala naravnost v eno izmed Unicefovih voščilinic. V moji glavi so na njih vedno upodobljeni otroci v drsalkah.
—
I absolutely love frozen lakes and skating or just walking on ice. And every time I see all the people having so much fun on the small Koseze pond nearby it feels as if had just walked straght into one of the Unicef chritmas cards. In my mind they always had children skating pictured on them.

TEDx v Mariboru je bil event presežkov. Presežkov energije, vzdušja, predavanj, idej, prebliskov, razmišljanj, smeha, druženja, tvitanja, snega in mraza. Nadkul.
—
TEDx event in Maribor was full of superlatives. People, energy, atmosphere, lectures, ideas, thoughts, laughs, twitting, snow and cold – everything was in abundance and utterly amazing.

Nekateri ljudje pogosto pozabljajo svoje ključe, nekateri denarice, spet drugi mobitele ali dežnike. Sama za razliko od omenjenih tipov pozabljam vse od naštetega. A očitno so mi ironične kozmične sile ponudile vsaj en relativno zabaven način, kako lahko vsakodnevno preprečim takšne in drugačne katastrofe – pogled na stopnice v našem bloku! Moji vsakodnevni odhodi od doma izgledajo namreč nekako takole: oblečem plašč, obujem čevlje, pograbim torbico, stopim čez vrata, zaklenem, se spustim po prvih petih stopnicah in čudežno me prešine misel, da sem pozabila telefon – oddirjam nazaj, odklenem, premečem celo stanovanje, najdem mobitel, stopim čez vrata, zaklenem, se spustim po prvih osmih stopnicah in ugotovim, da sem pozabila tudi na ključe od avta – oddirjam nazaj, odklenem … mislim, da se vam že svita, kako se zgodba utegne nadaljevati. Saj ne da, nisem hvaležna vsem skrbnim silam za njihovo dobroto, morda je le tajming včasih malce neroden. No, ampak se mi pa vsaj le redko zgodi, da dokončno oddidem od doma brez določenih ključnih stvari, le trajat zna. Saj veste tisto ‘kdor nima v glavi, ima v petah’ Jaz sem živi dokaz.

Some people keep  forgetting their keys, wallets, mobile phones or umbrellas. Me for example, I keep forgetting all of the above. But apparently some ironic cosmic forces are taking care of me and they thought of a very amusing way of preventing me from regular catastrophes  – a view over the staircase in my apartment block! My everyday’s preparations to leave home look something like this: i take my coat, put on my shoes, grab my bag, walk through the door, lock the door, take the first five steps and all of the sudden it hits me i forgot about my mobile phone – i rush back, unlock the door, search frantically for the mobile, find it, walk through the door, lock the door, take the first eight steps and then i remember i forgot to take the car keys – i rush back, unlock the door … you get the picture. It’s not that I’m not grateful to the allmighty cosmic force, maybe there’s just something a bit off with the timing. But after all i can say with great joy that i hardly ever leave home without the essential stuff, it just takes some time. We have a saying here in Slovenia about that. It goes something like ‘those who don’t keep it in their heads, catch up with their legs’. And I’m living proof.

Vremščica me očitno nikoli ne razočara.

Somehow Vremščica never seems to disappoint me.

december se je začel zelo diy. adventni venček že visi, živali strmijo vame s police, nadkul geokugla pa pridno požira množico malih predmetov iz nereda moje pisalne mize.
—
december started off in a very diy way. my brand new christmas wrath is already on the door, all the animals keep staring at me from the shelf and a multitude of small items from my desk found their home in the superb geoball.

V petek smo ob finem vinčku, še boljši torti in ob zabavnih ritmih fenomenalnih Xequtifz v Ajdovščini  skupaj otvorili novo staro restavracijo z lounge barom Dama. Dama se je preselila na novo lokacijo, kjer je pod pod budnim očesom Nine Selan in Vida de Glerie dobila bleščečo moderno preobleko. Torej, če vas pot kdaj zanese v deželo burje, vsi na kosilo v Damo – mislim, da se dobrotam mojstrice Jade preprosto ne da upreti!
—
From now on there is no doubt where to go if you are hungry in Ajdovščina. A brand new restaurant and lounge bar Dama opened it’s door this weekend. We had a blast – the Xequtifz gave their best and the place was magical (the interior was designed by a young but very creative couple Nina Selan in Vid de Gleria). And if i tell you that the food menu in Dama is being supervised by chef Jade , you really have no exuses not to come any more!

Tam daleč za devetimi gorami (no, ja za desetimi bloki), za devetimi vodami (khm, za devetimi cevmi iz toplarne) in za devetimi poljanami (…. če smo natančni pa v Mostah) stoji Vila Mojmir. Skoraj kot v pravljici – zdi se, kot da se je v njej ustavil čas. Nikakor mi ne gre iz glave, kako zabavno je bilo tam včerajšnje druženje s Klaro in Klemenom in kako fenomenalno je pravzaprav njuno handmade stanovanje. Ne vem, ali gre za to kriviti njun nadslasten brunch ali starinsko omaro z orodnjem na hodniku, morebiti retro moto čelado na polici, Klarin kotiček za šivanje, zna biti, da imajo prste vmes tudi super plakati na stenah, rexi v jedilnici, batmobil ali pa katera od črno pobarvanih vrat …
Zato pa zdaj vsi hitro oddajte svoj glas za njun predlog nove eko embalaže za Mercator. Držim pesti!!
—
In a land far, far away (ok, in reality it’s hidden behind the heating plant in Ljubljana) stands a house called Vila Mojmir. But it really does feel like in a fairytale, like time stood still there. I can’t seem to forget how great my day was hanging out with Klara and Klemen who live there in their perfect not so little handmade appartment. Maybe it was the tasty bruch they made or the old wooden tool cabinet in the hall, perhaps the retro motor helmet on the shelf, Klara’s sewing corner, all the great posters on the walls, rex chairs in the dining area, batmobile or all the black doors in there …
So now please, vote for their proposal for Mercator eco packaging. I keep my fingers crossed!

z izjemo huronskega navala smeha v Cvetličarni prejšnji teden (khm … mimogrede, kdo se še spomni 90ih) v časovnem stroju na deejay time žuru in kratkega pobega na Vremščico sem popolnoma pribita za računalnikom. uradno mam slabo vest, ker se zadnje čase tako poredko družim s svojim blogom. ampak takšna je pač jesen …
—
if i don’t count my hilarious time machine deejay time party last week (by the way, remember this?) in Cvetličarna club and a quick climb on Vremščica it’s been nothing but work work work for me lately. i officially feel guilty now for not posting more on my blog. but that’s just fall i guess …

iz tegale trebuščka je včeraj z velikodušno zamudo končno na svet prijokal moj skoraj nečak – mali Benjamin :) čestitke in vso srečo mladi družinici, da bi bilo njihovo skupno življenje brezskrbno in nočni spanec vselej miren!
—
my almost nephew – little Benjamin – was born yesterday after letting us all wait for quite some time :)
congratulations to his mom and dad, may the new familiy be granted with a lot of sleep and ever present happiness!

v deželi, kjer je najljepša rwoža bwor, se je že začelo obdobje jelenjega ruka. nočni obiski gozda in mogočni zvoki oglašanja jelenov me vedno navdajajo z nadvušenjem in strahom obenem.

rutting season for red deer has started around here. it’s always exciting and a quite scarry to visit the woods at night and listen to the mighty roaring sound of the stags.

tadaaaaaa! če berete tale post, pomeni, da tudi gledate tele fotografije, kar SEVEDA pomeni, da sem končno dobila svoj fotič nazaj. danes je nasploh vesel dan, zato sem ga začinila še z mamino specialiteto – baziliko v oljčnem olju. temu sama pravim ‘shranjevanje poletja v kozarčke za zimske dni’. recept je pravzaprav zelo preprost. nabereš liste bazilike, jih opereš in posušiš na kuhinjski krpi. potem liste zmiksaš in dodaš olivno olje, pomiksaš še enkrat in mešanico pospraviš kozarček. boljše ne more bit!

wiiiiha! if you are reading this post it means you are also looking at these photos, which OF COURSE means i got my camera back. today is a happy day. i celebrated it with my mom’s speciality – basil in olive oil. i call it ‘saving the summer in jars for winter time’. and it’s really easy to make. pick some basil leaves, wash them and let them dry on a tea towel. then blend the leaves with your kitchen blender, add olive oil, blend again and put the mixture in small jars. as good as it gets!

izlet na morje za vikend je vedno dobra izbira.
—
going to the sea for the weekend is always a good idea.

i got a call today from canon tech support. it will take them at least 14 days to fix my camera. apparently some electronic parts broke down. so i decided to do some graphics instead while i’m waiting. this one was done today.

neža se je na moje veliko veselje odločila v svet poslati še eno serijo brkov. potem, ko sem svoje prejšnje po svoji že pregovorni nerodnosti polomila, so danes v nadseksi paketku po pošti prišle popolnoma nove, črne in svetleče na marelično oranžnem trakcu – huraaa!
—
after i broke my old mustache necklace i was thrilled to find out that neža decided to send out another series. today it came with my mail an it made my day completely!

končno se je spet našel čas za en DIY projektič.
—
this brooch is the result of my newes DIY project.

ob koncu študijskega leta v času pripravljanja preglednih razstav obujam spomine na lanski arhitekturni bienale v benetkah, predvsem na oblak in romunski paviljon 1:1.
—
while everyone is preparing for the final exhibitons at the end of the school year i’m thinking about last year’s venice architectural biennale, especially about the cloudscapes and romanian pavilion 1:1.

v zadnjih dnevih (ali bi lahko bili že kar tedni?) sem se pogosto potikala po okolici savskih blokov, ki na filmu zgledajo še bolj retro in sikstis/seventis! :) no, cilj mojih potepanj je bil tale arhitekturni biro, predvsem pa ponovno natečajno garanje do jutranjih ur. ni pa to edini razlog za mojo odsotnost na blogu – dogajalo se je tudi mnogo drugih stvari! upam, da vam v kratkem lahko pokažem katero izmed njih.
—
in the past few days (or was it weeks?) i spent a lot of time walking through one of the post war residential neighbourhoods in ljubljana. and i must say the tall appartment blocks look even more retro and sixties/seventies on camera film! the main destination on my walks was actually this architectual office, where i worked on another architectual competiton. but this isn’t the only reason why i’ve been away for so long! i hope i can show you more about that soon.

kdo kupi  superge? :)
