The day has equalled the night - the turning of the sun. After 40 days of the Great Lent, the Great Day has arrived. After a longer time of restraint, modesty and quiet, now splendour, bustle and the joy of life pour over the brim. As at other celebrations, so too at Easter let us dedicate good, bright, strong and joy-filled words to one another!
Yet another hobby of mine - sewing various brooches, felting accessories, creating decoupage objects, making jewellery. Here you can browse what has come of it, appraise it, and perhaps spot a piece of jewellery to make your own. All brooches, necklaces and earrings are handmade. Below is a more detailed description of each creation, each of which I have also given a name - personalised, so to speak.
I should say straight away that I am not a fan of fortune-tellers, card readers, or soothsayers, but I do believe that the position of the stars, place and time, as well as one's zodiac sign (akin to temperament), can thoroughly influence a person's life and bring out or conceal certain character traits.
When the news of this remarkable woman and actress's passing made its way around the world's media, it seems no one needed to be told who she had been.

Today I want to receive freshly bloomed tulips. And you? Conventional. Perhaps. But spring-darling. Look, I even invented a new word! I wish to greet all women, ladies, dames, wonderful girls, gals, babes, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, colleagues, teachers and unknown passers-by on this day and invite everyone to savour every beautiful moment of life that lies ahead of us! Poetry for woman.
Yesterday we logged in via internet banking to provide information about the persons in our household. One question on the form is so convoluted that you cannot help but read it a second time. It is pleasing that the concept of the "Latgalian language" appears in the census. I also took a brief look at the history of censuses.
On Thursday evening we went to the "Rīga" cinema to watch the premiere of the new Latvian film "Dancis pa trim" (Dance for Three) together with the film's creators. The evening included: soldiers' songs, the appearance of the film crew, a moment of silence in memory of those who have passed, a glimpse into the making of the film, and the film itself. I was glad that the events depicted and the characters were not idealised.
The fact that there are many pensioners in Latvia - yes, that is a fact. 570 thousand. Only the solutions offered by experts and the government - cutting pensions, mass procreation and other nonsense - are and remain nonsense that does not solve the problem but merely defers it to future generations.
