^Well, I wasn't able to personally take 'Captain Smug' down - but there's still a hit out on him...

No, I was holidaying in Spain. But appreciate that it was noticed.

So, this British company have brought out a range of Bellazon masks of all your favourite members. 'First wave' - Joe and Jennka:

I´m getting that mask and gonna hunt down Adam. No one can escape, nor resist the Unicorn!

Hope you enjoyed the holiday?

Still can´t stop laughing at those masks

I live in a flat (apartment), not in a house, so, thankfully, I don't need to care about roof

It starts from the wall finish and floor replacement in living room, then it spread to the bathroom transform, and, here we go, I'm compiling a colour palette for the kitchen... It's like a giant snowball

And anywhere, where I can do nothing will do for me for vacation (I'm not a fan of active rest as you ) probably somewhere near the Black Sea...

So, I suppose, wre're both busy with renovations How is it going?

Oh, it was so hot this weekend that we did very few things BUT - Wednesday we´re heading there again with another friend, because Thursday it´s feast (Cyril and Method) and on Friday I´m taking vaca so we could spend there the whole 5 days

Is the kitchen the last one to go? do you have a huge apartment?

^ Oh, definitely yes... Hope we'll finished all the work till this weekend (7th is Ivan Kupala Day) and I for sure will be done with renovations, at least for this year

You guys did an amazing job with that house, I can't believe that it's possible to do without professional help :shock: Wish you good luck with the further works and have a good time on St. Cyril and Method Day

Yeah, she seems to be 3/4 months pregnant, I just really hope it´s true! She always wanted to have a big family

Oh, I love cutting the grass!! I have recently bough a brush-cutter and I love working with it

Where did you put up the stucco? And yeah, it´s quite exhausting especially if you are to do it for the whole day

I need to take pics this week treeeeeeeeeeeeeeees everywheeere

I guess time will tell, she can't hide the bump forever

Ha, then can u please come over to the in-laws here and take care of some brush clearance. I'll pay you in beer and pizza

You know what never mind...the cold beer and pizza sounds to good to pass up, I'll do the brush clearance

It was at a friends house, he was renovating the home to a open floor plan since the last owners had converted it to a multi-unit rental. We stuccoed the entire wall of the house facing the backyard and the wall leading out to the front on the southern end of the property. What a day that was....not even beer and pizza would have me go at that again...well maybe And another funny part here...I'm helping another friend with a similar situation, currently renovating his house also. I gotta stop volunteering

I cant wait to see all that greenery, don't forget the cats too

When I first checked Clara Alonso's blog, i thought she looks like she could be a part of the Monegasque royal family... now, I also see a resemblance between her and Sara Carbonero. Clara looks like she could be Sara's little sister, don't you think?

I'm not sure if this is inspired or just plain silly. I like the end though.

By the way, as you're now officially a Spanish speaker, how many languages do you speak now? (Asks the poor monoligual Brit.)

hey Jennka, it's about time that I serviced my backlog

I figured I'd see if you liked this pic too .

It´s so cute!

On Monday I saw this Snowhite and the Huntsman movie. Have you seen it Joe?

^ Oh, definitely yes... Hope we'll finished all the work till this weekend (7th is Ivan Kupala Day) and I for sure will be done with renovations, at least for this year

Thank you unfortunately it was too damn hot and impossible to work physically outside I did a lot of drinking though and regreted it badly later and glad to hear you like the outcome

Did you manage to finish it? And what is Kupala Day?

I guess time will tell, she can't hide the bump forever

Oh, I took some pics but posted them on FB only for now - and forgotten to post them here but there are the little trees there

Oh, you´re helping him now? But have you been doing recently?

When I first checked Clara Alonso's blog, i thought she looks like she could be a part of the Monegasque royal family... now, I also see a resemblance between her and Sara Carbonero. Clara looks like she could be Sara's little sister, don't you think?

Yes, they´re quite similar now when I think about it but Alejandra Alonso is a look-alike too, don´t you think?

By the way, as you're now officially a Spanish speaker, how many languages do you speak now? (Asks the poor monoligual Brit.)

It´s cute actually - and pretty funny looks almost animated

I speak English and Spanish - and I understand the basic German (questions like where are you from, how many siblings do you have and so on..) but it´s rather poor Slovak is my mother language, and Czech is like second mother language, because both languages are quite similar

The next year I´m planning to start learning Russian, I can´t wait for it! And I also need to continue improving and practicing my Spanish, well... if only I had time

You never wanted to learn another language?

hey Jennka, it's about time that I serviced my backlog

What does "backlog" mean?

I haven's seen the movie yet but glad it was good and having the mountains in the shot sonds great !

Which movies have you seen lately?

Hello there I guess you´ve been off for a longer time from here?

:shock: so that's Calzedonia model from my catalogue? I just checked some of her photos-in some of them, she and Sara look more alike than Clara and Sara, and on other... more like their cousin

You never wanted to learn another language?

Wanted to, oh yes, but in addition to finding the time, like you, I think being a native English speaker is a problem in itself. I've travelled to many countries and in most of them I can get by simply by speaking my native language. I don't have quite the incentive to learn a foreign language that, I suspect, you did because my native language is so widely spoken around the world. Sounds like me just being lazy and I suppose, to some extent, it is.

Five languages, I'm very impressed and rather envious. Did you speak Slovak and Czech from childhood? Was English the first language you learnt after Slovak and Czech?

Actually, my wife and daughter can get by in French and the last time we went to France I was, sort of, getting there too. Probably about the same level as your German. If I can master French then I will try another language, probably Spanish.

Did youa manage to finish it? And what is Kupla Day?

Unfortunately, no Maybe next week

And Ivan Kupala Day is nothing really special, just an extra day off

Looking forward to the results of your work

Lol, yeah they could easily be a family, can´t they? sometimes I find it hard to tell who is who, but after some time one learns the differences of course Leticia Zuloaga is another look alike, but little less she´s a little bit more different

Are you having any recent model-crush Princess?

Spanish is great but do not trust anyone telling you it´s an easy language! it is not but gorgeous still!

And yes, Slovak is my native language, and Czech - well, Slovakia and Czech Republic had been together as one state Czechoslovakia for a really long time, we´ve separated in 1992 finally, but both nations are very close to each other. Our languages are similar, our cultures as well, we understand each other without much difficulcies (dunno if Spanish and Portugeese speakers are the same??), there are of course differencies in the languages but since you hear and read Czech since childhood you get used to it quite soon, as I said it´s very, very similar, just the accent is different. There is a tendency of Slovaks speaking Czech more often than Czeqos speaking Slovak, but they understand it´s probably because the Czech culture is much wider than ours and their cinematography of much better quallity. They also have amazing musicians and their translations always used to be better than Slovak ones. This tendency - fortunately - is slowly fading, finally I come across good Slovak translations and good Slovak musicians... but it takes time

English was my first foreign language - together with German, but I always felt more inclined to English (which I now regret, because nowadays I find German fascinating, if only I dedicated more time to it when I was younger) and have been learning it since elementary school.

Oh, French my secret dream I would love to learn it (but first comes Russian because of azbuka - once you learn azbuka it opens you a door to so many other languages that write in azbuka) - once to be able to sing a chanson song in French
