Two Aquarius in the Alps

If you are traveling to Ljubljana by car, there are a few things that you should know while driving in the Slovenian capital. Whether you are driving your own car or you're renting one, it’s always nice to be prepared and enjoy a safe and pleasant trip.

At the end of January, we took Miki to the vet for vaccination against cat leukemia and cat flu. He was really brave when the doctors drew blood to test if he carries some of the pathogens and can be vaccinated.

We booked Miki a visit to the vet, and the appointment is today. They have to draw some blood, make tests, and hopefully vaccinate him. He won’t be very happy, we know, although he has been a regular patient since they saved his life and knows the doctors really well.

This morning someone rang the doorbell. When we opened the door, the postman asked for a signature for a letter he was carrying, and it looked quite suspicious, as the letter was sent by Radio Television of Slovenia. Usually, from our experience, nothing good comes out of letters that require confirmation of receiving! When we opened the letter, we were quite shocked by the info inside!

I am sure most of you cherish memories of Christmas markets and this unique Christmas spirit they carry. We all have lovely memories from such markets, but most of them date back from years ago. Nowadays some Christmas markets are not what they used to be, or maybe the markets did not change - we did and changed them.

2026 came. Yay! And no, we are not sharing our plans and goals for the new year; it will be such a cliché! Why start making plans from day one?

For the first year, we put a Christmas tree up in our new home since we bought the house. December and Christmas have been many times really hard for us, and we have not always been in a mood to decorate a Christmas tree.

It’s again this time of the year - Christmas season! So many kids asked for snow, and Santa delivered! Outside it is snowing, and we have sat here on the first floor of our unfinished house looking back at the passing year and the best things that happened to us.

We have been to Ljubljana so many times but never had the chance to go and see Ljubljana castle. It has been always something else that needs doing or fixing and we have been postponing this visit for a long time.

When we bought our house, we saw that in our garden, we have a persimmon tree. The first autumn it gave so many persimmons, and we started thinking, what are we going to do with so many fruits that we don’t like eating?
