Teach a woman to fish

Long time no see. So much has happened in that time that I could probably write for days and days. But I have decided that the little things are more interesting than trips abroad to Hungary or Estonia and so I am going to show you what I did today.

First I translated and memorised two verses of a latvian song (maybe memorised is a bit strong since I have to stop to think after every word). For the amusement of those Latvian speakers out there I will try to write it correctly.

Skaistā teva zeme
Ai, skaistā teva zeme
Tavu lielu jaukumiņu!
Smildziņa noziedēja
Sudrabiņa ziediņiem.

Kam šie kalni? Kam šīs lejas?
Kam lielie rudzu lauki?
Dievam kalni, Laimai lejas,
Arājam rudzu lauki.


And after that I went fishing!


Got one!!!!And I'm not letting it get away (I think I alsmost strangled the fish, if that's even possible)
Then for some reason I decided I wanted to learn how to clean it. But it was worth the effort because it was so yummy!

Then later that evening I taught my family how to eat tim tams (thanks Karen for sending them). This is my big bro giving it a go.

Love to all and if you wait around long enough one day I might tell you about Hungary :)
