Hello my friends!!!! The whole city has been out of electric energy after a really awful storm last Monday. It has been hurracane like with winds running at 120 km an hour. There have been more than 800 trees that fell down no matter their size!!! Many metal roofs blew away. I rained more than 70 milimeters in less than an hour so many people had to be evacuated. We haven ´t had such a storm in many decades!!! It was huge surprise for all the Cordobese citizens!!!!
Fortunately, I and my family are all Ok and so are our houses!!!
I have just heard that the temperatures in Europe are very low!!! this´s a very crazy weather!
Dear
Friends: I need a link where I can watch English classes. I have to do a
demonstration class for students between 16 and 18 years of age. Will
be monitored by teachers. There will be no students, is only a demo. The
English class should be for students with working interests. It is
applying for a job at a university.
Hi everybody! Damielle, sorry to heat about that terrible storm! The weather is getting crazy! We ´re freezing!Take care. Maggie , I ´ll try to find something and will send you a PM. Lucia, thank you for the music! Love it! Mariethe,you ´re amazing!I ´ll try to make one of those cards for your "lazy" friend! I was going to give hin a new sofa as his Valentine present. Today ´s Mirelli ´s Birthday “Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” Ashley Smith
Happy Birthday Mirelli! I hope you have the best of everything on your special day.
Mariethé, my take on hibernation follows below.
Today in Puxatony, Pennsylvania everyone is out wondering whether Puxatony Phil (the famous groundhog) is going to predict another six weeks of winter.
There is no groundhog in Poland, but if there was his name would probably be Poznan Pawel and he would be busy using an ice pick to dig himself out of his hibernation hole
Scenes from the fantastic movie "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray at his absolute best.
Dear Mirelli! Happy birthday to you ! May you have a day filled with joy and happiness and warmth ( not like the weather here!) Lots of kisses to you. Frank: What a great poem! I can imagine the sight of you going to work in that terrible cold weather Go easy on the vodka! I love Bill Murray too and really adored his acting in " Lost in translation"! Such a great film! Effie: I love your hibernation picture! WOuldn ´t it be nice to snuggle against your beloved under a warm duvet in front of a wooden fire. Thank you for your comment on my ws! Ana Isabel: I did adore that film with Meryl Streep! 2 Wonderful actors and a great story. Lots of love to everyone at this place. Thinking of you .... Often.
Isn ´t that kind of absurd? I mean, I always thought there might be something wrong with me, but I guess this is what I ´ll be saying in the future when people ask me: "What was your first clue?"
Where I am we just came out of a terrible heatwave - a week above 38 degree temps, a few days in the forties. Sadly, the other side of Australia is having terrible floods.
This was me last week:
But now this is me:
Valentina - the first four words I see are: lazy, patient, passionate and thoughtful. I saw the first one and thought hummmm, that´s not me. But then again, here I am doing this instead of getting ready to go to work. So, now I will stop being lazy and sign off.
I guess temporary laziness is a universal feature of teachers worldwide, so I can fully connect to your feelings, Jayho. It ´s 3:00am, I have to wake up again at 8:00 and here I am, surfing the net...
At least now I know why I sometimes wake up in the morning looking like this...
Sorry to hear about the floods-hope everything will be OK in the next few days.
alllllllllllll guys!! How are you all? The cafe is still bursting with love, care, humor, and joy.:)))
I´ve been busy, as usual;)), and now so much into proctoring and correcting exams. But you´re always on my mind.

A Poem to share
If You Forget Me
By Pablo Neruda
I want you to know one thing.
You know how this is: if I look at
the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I
touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the
log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that
exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward
those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now, if little by little
you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little.
If
suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have
forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad, the wind of
banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the
shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at
that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek
another land.
But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are
destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs
up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is
repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on
your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your
arms without leaving mine
all, Lucia, enjoyed the song and Adele is such a beauty!!! You must have been sooooo excited the old days cos it rained heavily in our place.:))) I adore rain too!!! Annaisabel, missed you too. Thanks for Neruda´s Laughter poem. He´s such a sensitive person. You know, I believe laughters and smiles are blessings from God. Anita, missin u and those fur things are aswesome.;)))
Quotes and Sayings
* A smile is a language that even a baby understands.
A smile of encouragement at the right moment may act like sunlight on
a closed-up flower; it may be the turning point for a struggling life.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
Smiles are great investments: the more you collect, the better you feel.
A smile confuses an approaching frown.
If you’re not using your smile, you’re like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook.
Mirelli- happy belated birthday!!! Jayho- I don ´t know what ´s worse, your heatwave or our coldwave Lucia - love the songs Anita - just what I need... Anaisabel - Nebal - thanks for your amazing photos
I haven ´t been around for a while, always rushing... but now I have time to share a few little things with you because I ´m not going anywhere with this terrible weather. The schools are closed ( and not only schools) and we are at home fighting with this snow.Dalmatia is a part of Croatia where it rarely snows, winters are usually mild so we ´re completely surprised with this cold,blizzard and snow. We ´re used to cold and strong wind BURA but these days some parts have extra strong bura with snow. Nothing works properly except for hospitals and ER - although the transport is a big problem .TheiIslands are completely isolated and the special police boats are trying to bring people some food and take care of sick people.Look at us now:
Šibenik
Brodarica - my suburb Yesterday was snowy and just little windy:
but today it was huuuuu: Adriatic tourist road
We ´ve been trying to clean the snow around our house, but it seems an impossible mission. From today on we ´ll just keep our passing tunnel clean.
But all in all, it ´s not that bad . We should be optimistic. I have more time for some other things, like posting pictures here and reading your posts and for my new hobby (jewellery making ) and the old one - knitting...
hair clips lollipop flowers ( hair or broch) broches rings earrings and some other stuff..
It ´s so relaxing and creative,I ´d recommend everyone to try...
Hope you ´re fine. I know the weather is going wild everywhere these days so I wish you a nice and peaceful evening / day.
Hugs
Goga
PS Franka sends her love too...
She had her prom two weeks ago...she was a cute young lady...and they had a great time...
I love your broches! So cute! It ´s so cold ... don ´t want to go out of the house for a second!! Car wouldn ´t start on me - the battery being 8 1/2 years old Today my brain froze to death. I bought petrol and DROVE AWAY WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT !! I noticed a couple of minutes later and RACED BACK, hoping they hadn ´t called the police yet - which they had not, but i was really ASHAMED !!
Dorothea, you made me laugh now.... I know you didn ´t feel like laughing, but now at least I know I ´m not the only person losing touch with reality from all the stress lately...

Ciao.
Granny
God ´s cake.... Sometimes we wonder, ´What did I do to deserve this? ´ or ´Why did God have to do this to me? ´ Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she ´s failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away. Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, ´Absolutely Mom, I love your cake. ´ ´Here, have some cooking oil, ´ her Mother offers. ´Yuck ´ says her daughter. ´How about a couple raw eggs? ´ ´Gross, Mom! ´ ´Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda? ´ ´Mom, those are all yucky! ´ To which the mother replies: ´Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! ´ God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such badanddifficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have totrustHim and, eventually, they will all makesomething wonderful! God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He ´ll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose yourheart.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here
