here are few photos of strawberry cake I made few days ago, don´t even bother to ask - no, no there´s nothing left for you! - please notice that fork - some people find it pretty fascinating and the magnets are from all around the world (ehm, mostly Europe ) and that clown is on my plate which I used when I was a kid

This post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" posts.MckMamataught me how to create a blurry background on my photos and now I´m enjoying my new supernatural power ...admire my work, stare in awe or check out her blog and learn something useful ............. LLT reminds me about TNT I don´t really know why...maybe because I had to study for my Chemistry exam last week and TNT was there...and it was one familiar word surrounded by all those unknown phrases and symbols, I swear (of course I don´t - I never do that) ...well, it was sometimes very funny, after few days I started to hate batteries and all connected to that evil´s invention (why it has to be so complicated) and then there was that "pile Daniell" which made me feel like switching on my laptop and writing to Dan nothing of this is really funny but I wanted to write LLT so badly that... ...just enjoy the photos
and sorry, if you came here to laugh...the most funny thing in my life right now are those flowers on our balcony, and they can´t tell jokes, even if they have a good day

how am I supposed to type a post and keep the sweet corn (from my salad) away from my touchpad on the laptop at the same time?
It´s Saturday evening and I spent whole day trying to remember how different kinds of batteries work.
this week has been hard, with lots of critical moments when I just had to close the books and get those batteries out of my head (not that I wasn´t learning all the different stuff, but batteries are worst ) ...
so on Monday (5 p.m. - apparently the best time of the day, for ACE = Awful Chemistry Exam ) I´ll have to go to school and tell everybody (more precisely 3 teachers) all I know about acid/base, catalyse, ester and batteries of course.
then I´ll have one "free" day and English exam on Wednesday

there was real tropical rain outside - just few seconds ago, heavy fat raindrops were throwing themselves on the ground and everything´s wet now. Today started like hot sunny day (I know that because the sun woke me up in the morning) and now it´s raining and I feel almost cold.

you all know how much I love winter, but summer isn´t that bad either and I didn´t have real summer for 2 last years (once I was in England, then in Ireland - and that wasn´t summer, 4 weeks of humid weather with everyday rain or 10 weeks of rain with 7 days od relative sun) and so this year I´m going to Africa but guess what - the perion from June to September is called 'winter' there ...so I can officially confirm that 3 years in row, I didn´t see the summer

why do I say that it wasn´t summer (last two years)? because :
in summer you don´t wear jacket,
in summer it doesn´t rain on you every day
in summer when you go to the beach, you don´t have to put on your jumper and jacket and shiwer because it´s stil cold
in summer you get taned
in summer you get sweaty (because of the sun, not after cattle hunt )
in summer you wear shorts and T-shirts
in summer you don´t wear wellies
in summer you don´t make yourself cup of hot cocoa (and you don´t hold the cup in order to warm up your fingers)

today´s numbers are: 9th picture folder (or september 2008) 18th picture
here´s mine (taken at school - on a particulary boring day when we (me and Martin) were spending time - stealing rice cakes from my sis...

how should I start... I think that I will tell you my LOWs first...
........
I never thought this could happen.
little Kayleigh was taken home to Heaven
and it completly broke my heart,
I can´t stop thinking about her loving parents,so please pray for them,
to be strong and not to give up.
it has to be umpossibly hard for them,
loosing such a mirracle,
once they hold her in their arms.
........
certainly there were also some HIGH moments this week, but they just look so grey and faded right now. Don´t get me wrong, I´m still the happy optimistic person you know but it just doesn´t seem adequate right now, to ... geez I´m missing her so much.
........
there was nice, not so hard Maths exam
and we had wonderful sunny weather, most of the days,
I got my second Hep A and B shot yesterday
and Africa seems closer than ever before.


........

now some update about Africa...

there´s internet connection in nearby city called Thika, yes it´s te same Thika as in the book FLAME TREES OF THIKA so I won´t mind spending some time traveling if I get to use internet in such a famous place. and it´s also pretty interesting and nice place so perfect opportunity to take some more photos (as if thousands of photos were´s enough - they certainly are NOT enough!!! )
