I fell asleep in front of the TV and just woke up. It's 5 in the morning and I got an unpleasant surprise. One of the dogs could not hold it back so I had a 'good morning cleanup job' to do. Now what? Round two in bed or should I get up early?! #sundayz #mishap #mornin #RandomThoughts

Next! Four days ago I posted a photo of a chair in renovation mode. Today I had some time and I started on the next one. It is still only a frame, soon it will have a surface, or rather a ladder, to sit on and a back as well. I intend to dress it up as a couch. Pictures of the progress to follow! #renovate #chairs #hobby #diy PS.: I made it to 1144 (I thought it was a nice number). Nothing more, only wanted to brag a bit as it surprised me. Thanks to you all! #RandomThoughts

I like to order online. Well perhaps a better description would be: shop online. An even better description would be: I do AliExpress, questionable stuff. And sometimes I get pleasantly surprised and the item is just what I wanted and ordered, on other occasions not so much. I got lucky, for instance, as I ordered fish eggs over the net, got them delivered by mail and they actually hatched, but this time I got something different. I ordered seeds, of an indoor banana plant.…
Job interview Today I finally had my job interview at the supreme court. I'm no judge, no lawyer, I applied for a technical support job. So, today I showed up, on time. A bit of initial nervousness quickly faded away and I think I nailed it. We (me and the three people that were interviewing me) fell into this conversation and soon my half hour was over, but we kept on discussing work, hobbies, travels, ... The next guy went in 15 minutes late because of it. I was told they…
The son that is to be I'm sitting in Coffee Point, having coffee and enjoying the view. I'm waiting for my dear N to return from the gynecologist, as she (they) is having a regular checkup during her pregnancy. As I was typing this message she already returned and just told me everything is as it should be. Everything's just perfect. #expecting #coffee #ljubljana

Anxious morning coffee It's morning, I'm having a cigarette and coffee om the balcony and I'm waiting. Waiting for a phone call. Yesterday I had a job interview and I think I nailed it. I was told they would call today, no matter if they picked me or someone else, so I'm sitting on my balcony, having a cigarette, sipping on coffee. Photo: me on court benches, lol. #job #waiting #RandomThoughts

You know about that job interview I was so eager about? The one that went so well? I was supposed to get notified yesterday, but I waited in vain. The call came in today and I was very eager to pick up and find out how it went for real. And yeah. It's a rainy day and f it.
Dinner for my Lili I always try to decorate the plate. #Food

Good morning noisers! I've been away for a few days and now I'm completely off topic here! What's new?! What did I miss? Who got rich in the last days? #LazyMorning

Good morning dear friends We are preparing to go to the sea side for a few days. We reserved a room already and yesterday my Lili (5) helped me to clean the car, my dear N packed. In the night there was a nasty surprise. Lili kept on waking up and she was very hot. As I took her temperature it was obvious something was well off. Now it's morning and she still has a light fever. I only hope this goes away very soon and we can go tomorrow. ❤️💪🖖
Oh, wow! It was completely sunny a minute ago, then the temperature dropped, it started picking up winds and now, 2 minutes later, it seems it might start to hail down! Keeping my fingers crossed that that does not happen. Update: we got lucky this time. For a momment it started with tiny ice crystals, but it stopped and we only recieved a portionof rain. ❤️
Getting ready for a potential move to the sea side Lili lost her fever yesterday evening and I was happy. She did sweat a lot during the night so I periodically got up to check on her and had to change her clothes twice. I aleays took her temperature but it did not return any more. Today is our last chance to go for a small (few days only) vacation and my dear N is packing again. Lili seems fine and we're waiting for her to wake up. I hope it all goes well as 'according to…
Good evening from my, well our, vacation We arrived in Lucija before midday, so we were early to get to our room. We went to a store, got some provosions and then checked in. We immediately (almost) left for the beach and only returned in the evening. Dinner and the next plan is to go watch the Perseides. It should be a true meteor shower show tonight, so yippie! All we have to do is find a really dark spot. 🖖🌈💪❤️

Nandu walking the streets We're on our vacations on the Slovenian coast and today we visited Piran. We had a great time and even met this fellow. A nandu bird walking the streets (it's a pet bird). #bird #nandu #Slovenia #Piran #sea #vacations #Travel
As soon as it started the vacations over. This year we only were to the sea side fot a duration of 4 days. We are used to long vacations, covering distances, being vagabund-ish movers. This year it was not possible due to me not having an income at all, my dear N being 9 months pregnant, the corona situation, ... Was nice, wish we could do more 😭😭😭
My dear N has a doctor's appointment for a regular checkup during pregnancy today. There's only three weeks left to full term, eo today she will have her contravtions measured. Nervous, happy and expecting! Soon the noise.cash family will gain a new member. #babyboy #personal #BCH
An unexpected visitor After a good lunch I sat down on the balcony, lit up a cigarette and stared at the flowers and generaly observed my surroundings. I got an unexpected visit from a swallowtail butterfly. A completely fresh specimen, it's wings complete, unharmed. The scales of the butterfly wing get damaged quickly, that in mind this was a really nice visit. It even stuck around for the photoshoot. #butterfly #nature@home #slovenia #visitor
The heatwave is not going away! Our vacation is over, we're back home after only 4 days at the sea side. The heat in the capital is something completely different (Monty Python referrence). #heatwave #montypython
Good and a nervous morning! I woke up nervously and took my dogs for walks. Now I'm on my balcony, trying to relax before I have an online interview for a job position. Nervous as hell, wish me luck! ❤️🖖💪

There is so much stupidity in the world! I snapped this picture in front of the national television building. It's a protest (by 3 people?!) agains vaccination (as it is supposed to infect you, implant a self-assembling chip inside your body, or something like that), Bill Gates, NWO, wearing masks, 5g (as a transmitter of disease), ... So much stupidity, ignorance in one spot. But in a way it's a relief that there's not hundrets of dumb-asses who beleve Bill Gates is trying…
Some proper food for a daytrip to the sea side Tomorrow we're heading to the sea side for a full day swimming, bathing, snorkeling excursion. We wanted to be completely independant. Now it's 00:40 and it seems the plan shifted a bit. I was so into cooking, I forgot about the time. Made french salad, turkey breast stakes, some rice, boiled a few extra eggs. We'll also take a lot of tomatos, a sliced cucumber, a few yellow paprikas. You cannot go wrong with bread, of course.…
Good morning all! It's already 7 am, and I'm finishing my morning coffee on the balcony. The mornings are becoming fresh and considering other circumstances it's the last possible sea side visit for us this year. I will surely report! #morning #coffee #action!
The 'wierd' chilly plant About 6 years ago a friend and a coworker of mine tryed planting some chilly plants indoors. He was testing if they would grow under (then) a new kind of LED lighting. The result was not as good as he has hoped. The plants became stemmy and not really thriving, so he wanted to get rid of them and I could not allow that. I took one of the plants and started growing it in natural light inside. Years went by and it never flowered or produced any…

Ljubljana, Šentvid Slovenia On this rainy day we had to visit the Šeantvid health centre, so my dear N can have her checkup.

Her employer gave her a contract for 6 hours only for a month and I did not take care of the additional 2 hours. Today she went to a doctoc and she has no insurance, looks like I F-ed up the one year money she would recieve for being at gome with our new child. Now we will have to pay for everything, even childbirth and…
Spent the second day on the phone to AJPES (where you register/unregister/change firm), ZZZS (national health insurance), GZS (national board of commerce?), CSD (national social services office), and some more. I went to the national health insurance in oreson actually, countles phonecalls, emails, online forms, ... I'm wasted and still it looks like it is not over yet. I just filed the last papers over the net and it's 22:58. I screwed up big time.

This photo is funny from so many perspectives! The whole point of the name on the doorbell is to identify who you are ringing. It gets funny when it tells you ... well less. Starman is quite a common last name in Slovenia. 'Star' means 'old' in Slovenian. But if you read it in English .. mr. StarMan, quite funny. Whatever, random rambling I guess, just wanted to share some thoughts. Enjoy everyone! #Ljubljana #Slovenia #StarMan&StarMan #RandomThoughts
I've been walking the center of Ljubljana this morning. There is quite some art on display in the streets, but I rarely have the time to stop and enjoy it, let alone take some snaps. Well this morning the streets were still empty, the light was nice, I had some time ... Enjoy! #Ljubljana #Slovenia #art #modernArt
Ljubljana is trying to become a modern metropolis, as far as that's possible as the city has a bit fewer than 293.000 inhabitants. One of the unique buildings is called the "ski jump", at least by the locals. Do you like such architecture? Ljubljana, Slovenia #Ljubljana #skakalnica #city #architecture #Travel

Only 13 days to full term. Soon we will be welcoming a new member to our family, a boy. We still have not decided on a name yet. I came up with the idea of naming him Mars, and that was a problem, since we quiclky decided we would not name him something he would be teased by all life. As a marsboy, slovenian for alien (extraterrestrial) also derives from 'mars', so that's a no-no. But it stuck and now it's really time to decide. Work in progress ... #Mars #name #babyboy…

A walk, flowers, kindness and joy As we walked from the pool, where my little Lili(5) took a swimming course I noticed this flower garden in front of an appartment building. These greens are maintained by the city, so the flowers are an extra, cared for by a local flower lover. I was contemplating all that and I decided to take a picture, because I really enjoyed the view. I discovered my phone is comletely full so I had to delete quite a few pictures, run a cleanup app,…

The symbols of the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana are the dragon and the city castle. Turns out the dragon is not a dragon at all, but a lintvert, a creature on four legs with additional wings, but that's details, I guess. Anyway, both of the city simbols are captured in a single image, with the market and a bit of the old city below. Ljubljana, Slovenia #RandomThoughts

A walk, some shame, an idea and pure genius - as predicted by a t-shirt I own this t-shirt. I got it years ago, as a promotional shirt and just used it at home. The reason for that is that it is kind of embarrasing. It sais (translated from Slovenian): "Not only beautyful Also smart" And that is a bit much. As I put it on this morning, I did not think about it twice. It was comfy, it was clean. Later, when I took my doggies for a walk I forgot all about it. So here I was,…

The last of the season This year the strawberries started up in a very promissing way. Last year all we got was a lot of green, leaves. This year it started in full bloom. With the first heatwave it was clear it was too hot for them, so .. We managed to get some fruit, but the heat did it's best to ... not help at all. In the end it was more of a nice decoration than a garden. Next year we'll go for bananas. #urbangarden #strawberries #RandomThoughts

I was having coffee and a cigarette on the balcony. It's a nice morning, so I was enjoying it a lot. It's a bit cold this morning, but that's OK. A fresh morning. Suddenly I had to go to the toilet, so I ran through the living room, but cought on a cable with my left foot. I fell with full force, but somehow cought myself, and didn't hurt myself except first landing on my big toe with all of my weight. At first I thought I broke it, looks like I can move it, but it is…
