Vai tu jau esi dzērusi šampanieti? /// Have you tasted Champagne yet?

Jānis: Daudz laimes dzimšanas dienā, Elīn, un es ceru, ka tev ir visādas manierīgas dāvanas un pārsteigumiņi.
Elīna: Tev tiešām šķiet, ka mana raksturīgākā iezīme ir manierīgums?
Jānis: Jā, tā ir.
Elīna: Es cerēju, ka tu teiksi, ka nē,  ir vēl arī visādas citas iezīmes un īpašības.
Jānis: Nē, manierīgums un koķetērija pašai ar sevi. Es pat teiktu - koķetērija pašai ar savu esamību un savu dvēseli.


^^^^^
Janis: Happy Birthday, Elin, and I hope you got heaps of manneristic presents and little suprises.
Elina: So you really think mannerism is my most characteristic trait?
Janis: Yes, that's how it is.
Elina: I was hoping you'd say that no, there were other traits and qualities as well.
Janis: No, mannerism and coquetry with yourself. I'd even say - coquetry with your own existence and your soul.

Zvēriņu paparazzi /// Animal paparazzi

Es neesmu bijusi pati nolaidība attiecībā pret zvēriņu paparazzi. Es to joprojām piekopju ar zināmu regularitāti un uzcītību. Šoreiz uzmanības lokā kaķi un spēļu lācīši.

^^^^^^
I haven't been near negligent of my animal paparazzi tasks. I still keep practicing snapping photos of more or less of that fact aware animals. Today I present you cats and teddy bears.

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.

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.
