Petekove drobtinice / Friday crumbs

Danes me je doma pričakal paket. Se spominjate, da sem včeraj poklicala Društvo za opazovanje in proučevanje ptic Slovenije? Izredno prijazna gospa Nevenka mi je svetovala glede hranjenja in se pozanimala kje stanujem. Seveda sem najprej pomislila, da bom dobila kazen, ker sem prostoživečo žival popolnoma neodgovorno odnesla domov. No, ni bila kazen. Sicer pa, kazni ne prihajajo v paketih, na katerih je nalepljena znamka z rdečim makom. Bile so knjige in pobarvanki in list za opazovanje ptic okoli domače hiše... čudovite reči. Popolnoma sem navdušena!

Sem pa spoznala, da ima mali čivkec zlomljeno eno nogo. Revček. Nič kaj dobro se mu ne piše. Pristajanje na vejah bo praktično nemogoče.

I got a wonderful mail today. Remember me calling I called Wild birds society yesterday to ask them how to feed the bird and with what. Really friendly lady Nevenka told everything about it and than asked me where I live. i was afraid that I might get a penalty for keeping an wild bird at home. I know it isn't right thing to do but what else could I do?
Boy, was I suprised when I opeden the parcel (I should have known, that a parcel with red poppy on the stamp has only good news inside). I got some books about Slovenian birds, colouring books, magazine, worksheets... amazing!

Bad new is that little sparrow has broken one leg. Poor thing.

Tole pa je slikca mojega sirupa iz poprove mete. Odlično mi je uspel. No, tudi klobuček na pokrovčku je prav simpatičen :o) Hotela sem jih narediti dovolj za vse steklenice s sirupom, pa sem naredila le tega za sliko :o) Že tako sem odlašala z objavo sirupa le zaradi tega klobučka, če pa bi morali čakati, da bi imela vsaka steklenica svojega...

And this is a photo of my Peppermint cordial. It is really nice. And bottle hat is not bad either :o) I wanted to make one for each bottle, but I managed to make just this one - for the picture :o) I'll make the others in the following days, but I was anxious to share a recipe with you.
