August back home

I was trying to capture a good photo with my dad but we had to take 200 shots because he kept on giggling or looking like an inmate...


And, Zac and I had the perfect girlie day out, lunch, talk about life, men, make up, massage, depilation and search for shoes...weather was great and I felt sick I was leaving the next day...

Ivanka, Rene and Brankica...

This is my 20year old stunning sister, who is not only beautiful but a straight A student, studying electrotechnics at one of the hardest universities in Zagreb. She is also really cool.

Zac and Mark, who is now blonde....

Karla pillaging Mark's territory


Vlax, Karlito and me...it was impossible to capture a good photo with the little gremlin in the middle...
They mostly came out like this


Ana and I...
photo with the oiled D&G model in the background...

This is part of Drago's collection from when he was in London...I thought these were amazing and almost look normal.

And this is what happened today at work on my actual birthday...

H stayed home from work today and we had fun the whole day. Firts of all, I made a signature cake....yes a signature cake and these were the steps (ignore the watermelon, it just wanted to be in the photo...)




Special handmade decorations were added for that unique touch...


We decided on 5 candles because 35 divided by 5 is 7...Kian worked that out and I am still unsure what it means...




This started because I said to Kian: "Let's have a nice photo, you and I only..." It proved a struggle.





And then it happened but what is not seen in this photo, is Kian ruthlessly pushing his brother under the table to be in the picture with me alone...


Meanwhile, under the table....


And this is Kian, whose birthday is on Thursday, so we are repeating the ritual...crushing a dinosaur...he really wanted me to take this photo to show the world he is a very gentle boy.

35...fuck I'm old

Had an amazing time tonight, thanks to all my great people, but I must say that I have noticed that I am starting to resemble a chubby hamster and I am not amused. My hairdresser, Nick, promised that he can make me look like Katie Holmes with new haircut but I am starting to think he lied....






I baked these myself simply because I like nothing more in this world but to bake...


This is me unwrapping B's present, which, it has to be said, outshone every other one and almost brought me to tears...this happens every year. I think she has made that her purpose in life now.







B knited me a penguin I immediately named Ophelia. She has two outfits, a winter one (scarf and mittens) ...


And summer/spring one, funky scarf, a necklace and signature handbag.

S bought me a really cool mobile phone charm. When the phone rings, penguin starts to dance like mad and disco lights flash...modelled by Ophelia.


Anita's present was really beautifully wrapped as was Hugo's. I envy people's wrapping skills.









I also had a cute penguin boyfriend for Ophelia called Percival from Ian and H, so for now I think I am maxed out on penguins.
Ophelia will soon be having her own my space page...watch this space.

My bug problem

Drago and his wife were here for couple of weeks as is evident from my infestation.
We had this lizard that changed residence between me and Drago for years, being planted in crockery, shoes, bath, pockets etc...an idea first generated by me by he was, I think, sadly misplaced by Drago.

What puzzles me is that two grown ups would go and purchase this beast for no other reason but to cause me a heart attack.
Hardened by such instances, I merely shrieked this time.
Nice try...
