| Pred časom so v vrhniški knjižnici rekli, da bi jaz svoj nakit lahko razstavljala pri njih. In vse ostalo, kar delam, ne samo nakit. Priznam, da se mi je strašno fino zdelo. Ampak v čitalnici je panojev veliko, vedela sem, da jih ne bom mogla napolniti, zato sem Slovonu rekla, če bi naredil še en izbor fotografij, da zapolniva tudi panoje v čitalnici. In je to tudi naredil. Vabljeni na Vrhniko in na ogled razstave v knjižnici! | This summer our librarian suggested that I should expose my art and crafts and specially my fashion jewelry in our library. It was a great honor to be asked, so I said yes. But in the reading room of the library there are many panels that would remain empty, because it’s not easy to fill wire frames with jewelry and I don’t have enough paintings. So I asked Slovon to print a selection of his photos. He did and today we put everything up so the visitors of the library can take a look at what we do. |

Slovenia encased in ice
Well, that was some weekend!
It all started on Friday when instead of snow we got rain at 0 degrees C. (And by “we” I mean a big part of Slovenia. Later the rain spread over all Slovenia and parts of Italy and Hungary.) Of course, ice started to accumulate on everything and in some parts (luckily not here) trees were breaking under the accumulated weight. Roads were closed, power lines were cut.
On Saturday the water stopped flowing. We live on a hill and we depend on a pumping station which apparently lost power. As we prepared few gallons of drinking water in advance, this was not such a problem. (Except that we had to melt snow so we were able to flush toilets.)
Then, an hour before midnight, electricity went out. Mobile internet was still working so we checked if the civilization still exists and went to bed.
On Sunday morning, electricity was back, and so was water (hurray!). There was, however, no internet, although the TV was working (we get both over the same cable). Mobile data was also not working (voice and SMS were, most of the time). Outside, everything was encased in ice.
We only had 4 hours of electricity, though, until the noon. The water kept flowing – it looks like somebody has attached a power generator to the pumping station. There continued to be no mobile internet; even voice and SMS communications were mostly interrupted. And so we mostly read books by the candlelight …
On Sunday evening the rain finally changed into a snow (with the temperature still holding around 0 deg. C). We got electricity back during the night and on Monday morning house was again a nice place to live in. Still no internet, though – neither the cable nor the mobile connections were working. On the outside, everything was normal at a first glance but a closer look showed that all trees are still covered in ice and some branches are broken. No big deal, at least all trees are still standing.
It is now Monday morning, the temperatures are climbing (we’re at +1), we have electricity and water, but still no internet. We consider ourselves lucky as there are some parts of Slovenia which are cut from the world for the third day in row and still don’t have power lines reconnected.

Monday, 13:18. Both cable and mobile internet are working.
We’d like to thank all great people that are tirelessly working day and night to put civilization back together. Thank you!

Petkovi obiski
| Včeraj je bila med sneženjem svetloba zanič, danes pa je skoraj videti barve ščinkavcev in druge perjadi, ki se zgrinja nad seme v krmilnici. | Yesterday was snowing for the whole day and the light was poor. Today there’s some more light despite the sleet that is coming down (ugly, atop of all the snow) and we have tons of finches that are feasting on the seeds in the feeder. |

Napisi na steklenicah
Jaz še kar okrevam in je brufen moj najboljši prijatelj. Po celodnevnem prevajanju se še ne morem sklanjati nad mizo s polimernimi masami in ne morem vrteti paštamašine (le kje je Robertin Borut, da bi mi naredil motorček  ), lahko pa vam pokažem, kako sem decembra okrasila steklenice z domačim kavnim likerjem, ki sva jih podarjala bratom/sestram/prijateljem. Iz fima sta napis in kavno zrno na zamašku. | I don’t have this year’s stuff to show you, because I cannot work right now, but I do have a couple of things from last year to show you. I made the tags and the coffee beans for our homemade coffee liquor that we gave as parts of new year’s gifts from polymer clay. |
