Naked!
As seen, Con Brio got undressed a few days ago (=lost all its graphic appearance) as it has to get its cloths washed from time to time (=the server with the pics went down;)). Now, waiting for the laundry to get Con Brio its cloths back any time now (=asap the server is up again;)).

Giving birth to a PhD
is a difficult task. Much more difficult, as having a baby, according to these 11 reasons:
REASONS WHY WRITING A DISSERTATION IS HARDER THAN HAVING A BABY
1. Three months before your due date, your doctor doesn’t say, “I want you to go back and re-do the first trimester’s work.”
2. Unlike advisors, you can switch doctors without having to start over.
3. Conceiving a baby is WAY more fun than conceiving a topic.
4. You know exactly how long a pregnancy takes.
5. Friends and relatives don’t question the worth of a baby.
6. You don’t need to explain repeatedly to friends and family what it takes to make a baby and why you’re not through yet.
7. No one will make you go to grad. school before having a baby.
8. Everyone will say your baby is cute and you’ll believe them.
9. Babies don’t require proper footnoting or adherence to a style manual.
10. You can freely borrow other people’s stuff if you’re having a baby and not be accused of plagiarism.
11. No one will complain if your baby is too similar to another one.
But, then a friend, who already completed her PhD and also gave birth to a beautiful little girl, says having a baby is much harder than writing up the thesis.
So, what’s harder then? Huh, I still have to do both to find out;))

Depeche Mode
It was incredible. I knew all the songs, so there was no surprise on that side, but their performance and erotic charge of David Gahan was outstanding.
I Want it All
World in my Eyes
Enjoy the Silence
Behind the Wheel
Good Night, Lovers! Will definitely meet in Ljubljana again!

Bruges / Brugge
Yesterday it was a sunny day in Belgium. David suggested, that would be great to go and visit Bruges. So we went. At Gare Centrale the platform 6 was packed with people - apparently everyone decided to visit Bruges on such a nice day. I had a pleasure to listen to a lovely English accent (a girl next seat) all the way there.
Brugge and parapet
Brugge and motor punting
Brugge and a church
Brugge and a square
Brugge and nice trees
Impressions? Quite popular tourist destination, very cute with all the canals, tons of chocolate shops and restaurants, yummy tea room, horse carriages everywhere.
And again, I ate waterzooi - it transpired not to be such a good idea, as I still can’t eat anything, was soooo creaaaaamy!
