Rare visitor, again!

 Leaving in the country side is like having a life safari... usually, we see lots of birds - both locals and seasonals, but occasionally, we also have rare visitors like deers, hares, fox. This family of deers, were here last evening, and this morning. Usually they are in the fields, but some times, they do come really close to our home, at the courtyard and backyard.

  

Home saloon

This is my 'new project' over the weekend... cut boy's hair, and curled girls hair. Not bad, ha ha!


  



On top of the world

Kids new playground... and also 'TV' spot - from on top of our home's stone stove. It is warm and cosy up there!

A visitor :D

We have a visitor, he is a super lively and active boy. Anyway, the kids are making so much noise that it is not possible to concentrate nor read... guess I have to find something else to do, like Spring cleaning away clothes from closet.... something I should do, but did not get around due to the assignments.

Newborn BB Boy

My niece gave birth this afternoon to a healthy baby boy weight 3,7 kg. He was supposed to be borned on 18 April, but he could not wait further and today, they did the C-section to bring him to the world. Can't wait to see this little dragon boy :D May both mother and son be safe, praise the Lord!

CD Ripper

I have a collection of great 80s and 90s CDs, but they are so cumbersome to play nowadays with a CD player. Surfed around to find a CD ripper so that I can ripped these files to MP3 format for personal use. I can put them to my MP3 player, listen to them when I am walking, travelling, going to work etc... Found this product from internet, cool, fast and easy. Really worth trying if you are looking for a basic CD ripper. Highly recommended!

American Idols

I think it is great to have such kind of competition to find new talents, and there are many fantastic, gifted talents found through this channel. However, the selection of winner in my mind is not very fair. Voters choose not by their ears, nor their heart, but by their deceptive eyes, putting more emphasis on looks, beauty, gender etc. Many voters are young girls, and they idolize young, handsome boys regardless if they sing or not. However, that's what music and entertainment business is all about today. Ability to sing, dance or act is not the key success factors becacuse young fans just go gaga blindly on other material criteria! I hope this new season will do the best contestants some good.... and I hope the Americans will vote wisely, and not let talents gone to waste.
