I Cant Ride A Bike
Dear friends,
Read more »
As you may know, and as you have probably read on many other blogs or internet pages, last Sunday we celebrated 1st of June - Childrens Day. Well today is Sunday all over again so I thought I may share with you some pictures from 1st of June. Now we did not celebrate it 100% children-like but we did go out to check what was happening in town and I must admit it was more crowded than usually and loads of children were everywhere... it was as if they were not there before and they just popped out of nowhere!
I know that you probably know that kids dont appear out of nowhere and that they are not left for the parents by a fairy, under the cabbage leaf, so I trsut you will understand my shock when I saw Krakow invaded by children/youngsters... But let us not get ahead... We started the day by dropping by the Galeria Krakowska, where for the first time the first "race" of the World Cup Bike Trial started!
They tried to bring this event to Krakow for quite a while and they finally managed it. While we were there, watching this we could hear the names & countries represented and it was nice hearing from how far away they came in order to test their bikes next to the Galeria Krakowska :) Well, everyone has a hobby and I must say it is nice when ones hobby becomes an actual performance!
We did not stay very long but it was refreshing to see how serious they were and even if they failed 3 times they would still try out again until they would get on top of the tree. Skills + perseverance + focus - all in one :) And seeing them fly from one piece to another was just magical!
After the run with the bikes I must admit one more thing to you. As I said in the title, I cannot ride a bike. I can blame it on my sense of balance, but hey! I really wish I knew how to ride one. I never managed to ride one without the helping wheels and using them now at this age would be really shameful.
I tried when I was small but it seemed not to be my thing so I switched to other activities to fill up my time. I surely hope our kids will not have my sense of balance and they will learn how to ride a bike... I somehow feel like I am missing up a whole lot of fun!
Anyway, after the World Bike Cup we went to the Main Square where there was a Dragon Parade :) It was so packed with people that I did not manage to take a lot of pictures and try as I might to catch a dragon I did not manage :( Maybe next year... So keep your fingers crossed :) But the weather was perfect so we went round the Main & Small Square and came home where we watched some M.A.S.H. and ate some strawberries. How about you? How was your last weekend? And this one? Any particular plans for this Sunday? Or tips/tricks on how to teach a 20-something year old how to ride a bike? ;p
Yours truly,
A Happy LadyBug :)
You Have The Air Of A Little Nonnette
Dearest friends,

Today I just wanted to share this adorable little quote from one of my favourite books:
“–’No, sir.’
‘Ah! By my word! There is something singular about you,’ said he: ‘you have the air of a little nonnette; quaint, quiet, grave, and simple, as you sit with your hands before you, and your eyes generally bent on the carpet (except, by-the-bye, when they are directed piercingly to my face; as just now, for instance); and when one asks you a question, or makes a remark to which you are obliged to reply, you rap out a round rejoinder, which, if not blunt, is at least brusque. What do you mean by it?’
‘Sir, I was too plain: I beg your pardon. I ought to have replied that it was not easy to give an impromptu answer to a question about appearances; that tastes differ; that beauty is of little consequence, or something of that sort.’
‘You ought to have replied no such thing…Just so: I think so: and you shall be answerable for it. Criticize me: does my forehead not please you?’”

2013 Honda Civic Says �Look at Me Now � Accord PHEV Priced at 40 570 � 2012 L A
2013 Honda Civic Says “Look at Me Now,” Accord PHEV Priced at $40,570 – 2012 L.A Well, that was fast. After all the bashing centered on the 2012 Honda Civic, it appears the new 2013 model has benefited from a speedy recovery. A trio of Civics including the Hybrid and Si took the stage at the 2012 L.A. Auto Show, causing a scene in an effort to say, “look at me now.”

2013 Honda Civic Says “Look at Me Now,” Accord PHEV Priced at $40,570 – 2012 L.A
It’s understandable the 2013 Honda Civic wants so much attention, as looks like a much more premium offering than the car it replaces. A new open mouth grille, reshaped hood, Accord-esque rear end, and spiffy new wheels are the most notable changes, but it gets much better inside the sedan. The materials used for the dashboard and headliner look more upscale, while a rear camera, Pandora, Bluetooth, and SMS texting come standard. It’s the little things that count, as a sliding center armrest also comes in every Civic. While changes are significant, the price increase for the new models isn’t. All 2013 models cost $160 more than the outgoing car, meaning the LX (DX has been dropped) starts at $18,955.
In addition to the aforementioned changes, the $21,605 EX adds new 16-inch alloy wheels, a mesh grille finished in gloss black, brushed aluminum garnishes on the door, and automatic climate control. The $24,555 top-trim EX-L with navigation gets all of the above plus leather seats, with new foglights and chrome trim on the lower valence. Meanwhile, the racier Si, which uses its six-speed manual to send all 201 horses to the front wheels, will set you back $23,505. The Hybrid also gets its helping of new additions for 2013, including a new grille, foglights, LED daytime running lights and taillights, standard satellite radio and Honda’s Forward Crash Warning and Lane Departure Warning.
The 2014 Honda Accord PHEV also made its debut alongside the Civic triplets, and was priced at $40,570. The plug-in hybrid is EPA rated at 115 MPGe, and has an EV range of 13 miles. The PHEV has a real presence with cool wheels that resemble a moving windmill and a wide grille. The PHEV goes on sale on January 15 in New York and California, where it also qualifies for HOV access. As for the non-plug-in Honda Accord hybrid, the automaker says the car is expected to be EPA-rated at 49/45 mpg city/highway.
