Man ir diezgan jauna istaba /// I've got a pretty new room

Tā viņa lielākoties izskatās. Tā ir apmēram puse istabas, bet otra puse izskatās sliktāk, tāpēc es bildītes nelikšu. Vispār viss, kas ir mans, izskatās labi, un viss, kas jau bija, nepavisam neizskatās labi. Ja redzat tur kādu tīri glītu lietiņu, tad ziniet, ka tā šajā istabā ieviesās drīz pēc manis.
Taču tā jau vispār man te tīri labi patīk dzīvoties. Visjaukākie ir gaiši rīti, kad var šķirstīt grāmatas ar bildēm, pēcpusdienas ar sauli, kura spīd iekšā, un gulšņāšanu gultā, un pavēli vakari, kuros ar sakrustotām kājām sēdēt gultā un skatīties "Annu no "Zaļajiem jumtiem" vai kādu ļoti stilīgu seriālu, vai klausīties šo un to. Var arī mācīties.

^^^^^
That's how it usually looks like. This is around half of the room, the other half looks worse though, therefore I won't put the pictures of it. Overall all that is mine looks good and all that was here before me does not look good. If you see something pretty, then bear in mind it arrived in my room soon after I did.
Still I do like to live there pretty much. The most nicest are light mornings when one can leaf through a book with pictures, afternoons with the sun that shines into the room and idling in the bed, and in quite late evenings to sit cross-legged in the bed and watch "Anne of Green Gables" or a very stylish TV series, or to listen to this and that. And one can study too.

                                                           frills
                                          man labāk patīk tumša koka mēbeles
                                          ^^^^^
                                          I like dark wooden furniture better

                                            ^^^^^
                                            A special wall meant for pictures.
                                               Viņas piestāv viena otrai.
                                               ^^^^^
                                               They look good together.

                                                          atkal

Krūzes. Bija vēl viena, bet viņa saplīsa arī bez dārgā kaķīša palīdzības. Šis dzīvoklis ir piemērota vide trauku plīšanai. Bet tas drusku labi, jo viņa nebija tik glīta kā šīs, un es nevarētu izdomāt, bildēt vai ne, un man nebūtu viņai sāpīgi jāatsaka.
^^^^^
Mugs. I used to have another one but I broke it even without the help of my beloved cat. This flat  is a good place for dishes to fall to pieces. Anyway it is kinda good 'cause that one was not as lovely as those two, and I did not have to struggle deciding whether to take a photo of that one as well, and I would not had to painfully turn it down.

Ar domu par kūku /// With the thought of a cake

Es šodien jūtos kā 20.gs. mājsaimniece, īsti nezinu, no kurienes tas uznāca, bet sajūtas ir ļoti labas, un kaut kā izteikti pacilājoši un piezemēti līksmi. Man šodien bija svārki, gari un melni, drīzāk Pīķa dāmas, nevis mājsaimnieces, taču glīti un tīkami; viena meitene universitātes tualetē, pēc skata āfrikāniete, pat teica, cik man lieliski svārki. Svārku sajūta ir drīzāk par 19.gs. beigām, taču ķirsītis matos aizskrien vairākas dekādes uz priekšu, un beigās es nokļūstu vidēji 20. gs. 30. gadu sākumā.
Pa dienu es pielaikoju dažas sapņainas drēbītes, pirku sastāvdaļas biezpienmaizei, domās uzcepu divas kūkas, un, kad atnācu mājās, mana burvīgā franču dzīvokļa biedrene man pasniedza lapiņu ar viņas apselūti brīnišķīgā tiramisu recepti. Un mēs pačalojām par to, cik es esmu nopirkusi glītus zābaciņus, kāds viņai skaists pulkstenis un cik jauki ir reizēm agri ielīst nakstkreklā vai pidžamā un ierušināties gultā, vai arī staigāt visu rītu vai dienu naktstērpā.
Un tieši to es arī daru. Maķenīt  piekārtoju istabu - tīrā izprieca, kad esi mājsaimnieces pirms daudziem gadiem noskaņojumā - , ietērpos naktskreklā, un mani gaida pavārgrāmatas par garšvielām un ar salātu receptēm. Pat mans horoskops saka, ka šis ir labs laiks, lai vienkārši pagulētu mājās.

^^^^^
Today I feel like a 20th century's housewife, I'm not sure where does it come from, but it feels really good, and somehow remarkably elatedly and lightly cheerfully. I wore a skirt today, a black and long one, more like a The Queens of Spades', not a housewife's, however a pretty and pleasant one. One African looking girl in Uni ladies bathroom even told me what a great skirt I have. The feeling of the skirt is rather about the end of the 19th century, still the cherry clip outruns that for several decades, and at the end I get in the early 30ies.
During the day I tried on several dreamy garments, bought some ingredients for a curd cake, baked two cakes in my mind and when I came back home my adorable French flatmate handed me a leaflet with her absolutely fantastic Tiramisu recipe on it. Then we chatted a little - what pretty booties I've bought, what a beautiful watch she's got, and how nice it sometimes is to slip into your pajamas or nightgown early and to crawl into bed. Or to pass all the morning or day in the sleepwear.
And that's exactly what I'm doing now. I slightly cleared up my room - a pure amusement when you're in mood of housewife many years ago -, put on my nightgown, and now cookbooks about spices and salad recipes are impatiently waiting for me. Even my horoscope says this is a good time just to stay at home and lay down on the bed .

   Garšīgākā tiramisu ever recepte, rakstīta ar rozā un gaiši zilu pildspalvu, latviski (!).
   ^^^^^
   The recipe of the most delicious Tiramisu ever, written in pink and baby blue, in Latvian (!).
                             Pirkt un izvēlēties pārtiku reizēm ir visai patīkami.
                             ^^^^^
                             Sometimes it's quite pleasing to choose and buy food.
                                               Atbildīgs brīdis.
                                               ^^^^^
                                               A moment full of responsibility.
                                       Atviegloti, priecīgi un bez vilšanās.
                                       ^^^^^
                                       Relieved, glad, and no disappointment.
