At last; some professional reading !

Dear Blog

Sometimes you just want to relax and generally be lazy, but at the same time you might want to be entertained. So today I felt like being immersed in literature. But being to lazy to read, what should I do?
The answer was quickly found: get somebody to read for me.  A short phonecall, and a very nice woman showed up !  She was a fast reader, and I could not understand everythin' ,   but as it is not so easy to find slav... eh competent house help nowadays, what could I do?    
Thanks to Verli for reading to me.

New indoor shoes

Hi again!

I've just got a pair of NEW indoor shoes (well it was Knut that got new shoes, but heck: I can use them as a sleeping bag or sleeping mat or somethin')     They were really big, but I arranged 'em to be washed on 40 degrees - and now they are much smaller, much nicer and probably much warmer.  Whattya think?
Thanks to Helene Harelabb (AKA Helene Kanin) for the shoes. One shoe got a Nemo look-a-like on it, the other a nice purple octopus and some seaweed.

Makes me long for the seaside...

Piglets and snow

It is snowing!!  :-)   What more can a small piglet demand on his sunday stroll.  Of course me ring-tail is feeling ...odd, but the sudden quietness that the falling snow brings is excillerating!  I danced through the snow all the way home. Now I am waiting for some italian veggie soup! "Hurry up Redhead! A piglet is waiting for his afternoon soup!"
Wish you all a nice sunday!

None EU conform carrots...

Hi again!

As some of you already know, I am not such a big fan of the European Union (quite contrary to the readhead, I have to say...). No big surprise, maybe, as I am from a small farm with a very modest agricultural yield in the Boehemian forest. My former boss, Toni, had lotsa problems, and I am sorry to say that my relatives on the farm did not excactly go out of their way to help him (Something of a family feud my grandfather told me!) - and when Toni turned to the bottle... Well it was downhill from then on...

Anyway; you've probably all seen those cucumbers complying with EU regulations at the local grocery? But did you know that EU-law also applies to something as mundane as carrots? So on my latest "tour de force" to Mühlviertel as I were shopping veggies for my cellar in Vienna, I happened to come across these anti-EU carrots. The last picture shows me and an almost criminal carrot. Cute guy eh? (I mean the one with the attractive ears..)
Hmmm  my tummy is in the mode for some carrot soup tonite....
