Sleep Furiously?

Your ubiquitous desire when you're realizing that today just turned tomorrow again, an army of sun rays and bird trill arrows are playfully attacking your morning eye lids, cryptic words are stimulating your confused thoughts in grey rooms or when you're dreaming of a Welsh train that doesn't stop at your station. Speaking of which, the Welsh countryside definitely has its repertoire of "sleep-don't sleep" charms, and I'm very much looking forward to see more qualified opinions on this issue. But if I come to think of it, what Wales was doing with us one of these weekends was simply passionate cooking.



Ingredients: a charming canal, a **** narrowboat, a heterogeneous mix of consciousnesses, some rum, a one in a million Eurovision show, drunken Shepard's rain (ploaie mocaneasca), black headed sheep, a silent guitar, some Voodoo, a great captain, pure rock'n'roll, the strongest boat-stopping wind ever, summer's rain, Table Mountain, the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Estonian castles, the best cherries in the world, dreams and fairytales, an imaginary pipe, dusk pancakes, Abergavenny kebaps and curry, E1243, E2345 and E4353.



Directions: mixing, mixing, mixing (for three days, adding ideas, rain and rum "by taste"/"dupa gust") - something Cymru excels in, given its unchallengeable skills in consonant shuffling for linguistic purposes.



The result: a delicious pudding with early summer flavors of another sweet memory to be used in hiraethlon times.



And somehow all this reminded me of "jocul ielelor" tonight, and gave me a furious desire for sleep... Nos da!

Science communication...

An inspiring extended weekend which had potential to put our small insignificant existence into a higher context. It was due to the final SET-Routes School Ambassador event (motivating young girls to go into science) that we had the chance to visit CERN, "the world's largest particle physics laboratory" (remember the presumed end of the world last September - "Ce parere aveti, credeti ca vine sfarsitul lumii/ ca ne inghite o gaura neagra/ ca se joaca de-a Dumnezeu?). I'll let more qualified people than myself talk and sing about it (MUST see). And talking about science communication, this might also be a way of letting people know that CERN does exist. Yes, old news, but in the cinemas from the 15th of May. And while the web it's celebrating its 20th anniversary, random kitchen tiles in Lausanne are still waiting for brilliant ideas and lasting motivations during young Sunday hours...

Hristos a inviat!

Curățenie de primăvară...

Back again after a refreshing excursion into ever amazing white, blue and green Norwegian landscapes and historic times. Spring rain calling for bright, purer mornings. Yes, the sky is the limit, but mind the trolls on the ground!

Frohe Ostern?

So what does Easter mean these days? A celebration of Christ's resurrection? A time to rediscover old traditions that you might enjoy? An occasion to get together with family and friends? An opportunity to show-off cooking skills and get an overdose on calories and sugar? An Easter egg fight? An excuse to kill a lamb? A moment to lay back and meditate on life's meaning? A skiing week in the white Norwegian mountains? Some relaxing sunny spring days? Or perhaps a charming mix of all previous Easters in and outside your mind?
Have a happy one!
