The new member of my family…

Hello friends!

First of all, I would like to say thank you for the wonderful banner. I bet, I can let the cat out of the bag…. Elena made the banner…Many thanks. :-D

I am sure, you can remember that my family likes animals. Unfortunately, our dog passed away in September 2006 (while I was blogging). Since then we have a new dog, Bobó. He is a beagle, an English hunting dog. He is only one and a half years old and very cute. He is a very kind and smart dog and he is a lot of fun for everyone in the family. He likes pilfering everything. I have attached my favourite picture of him. In his mouth is a sponge that he filched from a bucket while my husband was washing the car. Bobó and my son made good friends.



This open blog is a lot of fun. But I always have to fight for control of the computer as my husband and I use the same one. As you know, we have our little office at home. When he takes just one step from the room or he makes phone calls I immediately sit in front of the PC because I am keen on taking a quick peek at the blogs and the comments. Fortunately, he has great respect for me.

It is fantastic that I receive comments from my “old” commentators and they can remember me and what is more we can encourage each other. Am I right, Diema and Pary? I am looking forward to hearing from you both. I miss Hyoshil from Lincoln, Ana from Poland, Vy Tran from Vietnam and all my lovely commentators as well.

Dear Ana Paula! Hope, your sister is doing better. Dear Naheed! Here is a picture for you two. It was taken in our garden in November 2007, I think. It was the first snow that fell this winter.


Hi Adriana! Why do you and Ana Paula think that you are fat? What a foolish idea! I am wearing glasses…..and it seems to me that you are both nice and slim. I cannot believe that someone who plays football and does different exercise might be fat. Girls…Chin up! More self-confidence!! Please, do not be cross with me because I am trying to persuade you. OK?
Adriana, I have attached another picture taken on the beach, too. In the picture some people are wearing their swimming costumes and they are sunbathing, others are wearing jeans, shirts or hoodies. It was in April and the temperatures were between 15 and 18 °C.


Szia Leila! I greet you in Hungarian as our languages belong to the same language family. Oh, I bet, I must explain it. My nationality is Hungarian and we belong to the Hungarian minority living in Slovakia. I loved your pictures. My desire is to visit Egypt one day. You are lucky being there.

Antonio! I keep my fingers crossed for you! Hope, you will get great exams results. I have already seen your videos three times….at least. What cute puppies! I have a favourite one… the little puppy with the black mark on his/her head. Aaaah!

James Zhih-Cheng Wu, your topics are so humorous that I always laugh loudly. My family think that I am mad. Keep up the good work!

Hello Lidia! Unfortunately, we cannot look at your pictures taken in Malta. However, I am looking forward to looking at them because I have also been there and I really loved being in Malta. The people were so nice there – unforgettable experience.

Satya!! Where are you? What keeps you busy?

I also miss Alex from Russia and Jenny from China. It would be nice to hear your news. I am looking forward to meeting you too.

Take care! See you tomorrow!

Anita
