Yes, I like that!

Happiness is complete stranger, that helps you to get your back back on in a tram.

He was luxuriating in restful solitude in a punt under a willow by the bank of the moat

"Mr John Hamilton Potter, founder and proprietor of the well-known New York publishing house of  J. H. Potter Inc., laid down the typescript which had been engaging his leisurely attention, and from the depths of his basket-chair gazed dreamily across the green lawns and gleaming flower-beds to where Skelldings Hall basket in the pleasent June sunshine. He was feeling quietly happy. The waters of the moat glittered like liquid silver; a gentle breeze brought to his nostrils the scent of newly cut grass; the doves in the immemorial elms cooed and he had not seen Clifford Gandle since luncheon. God, it seemed to Mr Potter, was in his heaven and all was right in the world."

That must have been rather a shock

When your worth is defined by your welth..

Woman: " Why didn't you study as a doctor or a lawyer? They make good money."

Man: "Why didn't you?"

----

Kun varallisuutesi määrittää merkityksesi..

Nainen: "Mikset sä opiskellut lääkäriksi tai juristiksi? Ne tienaa hyvin."

Mies: "Mikset itse?"

I saw her bite the governess once

Question: "How do you know that you've watched quite a bit of The West Wing?

Answer: "From the fact, that you see a dream about the characters, in which they act the way you've always wanted them to."

-------

Kysymys: "Mistä tiedät, että olet katsellut aika tavalla The West Wing -sarjaa?"

Vastaus: "Siitä, että näet sarjan hahmoista unta, jossa he toimivat tavalla, jota olet aina toivonut."

I had no means of checking his statement

When one sees in the middle of a city a man, that has an ax and a saw hanging from his back bag, one can not help to wonder, what is there to be cut off and chopped in that urban environment..

--------

Kun näkee keskellä suurkaupunkia miehen, jonka repusta roikkuu kirves ja saha, ei voi olla miettimättä, mitä katkottavaa ja pilkottaa kaupungissa on..

Take that infernal glassy look out of your eyes and listen to me

-----

With a heart round it

When one notices that there is a sale in Iittala webshop, one might perhaps grab all the All Steel series bowls..

-------

Kun huomaa, että Iittalan nettikaupassa on ale, voi mukaan tarttua vaikkapa kaikki All Steel-kulhosarjan kulhot..

Blue spread over the sky

Dream or reality?

To wake up from a dream, in which you've analyzed the meaning of a dream dreamt before.

--------

Unta vai totta? 
Herätä unesta, jossa on analysoinut aiemmin nähdyn unen merkitystä.

By Crumpet

How do you mean, got her?

He swam underwater towards me, slowly observing, like a shark lurking on its prey. When he surfaced, he said to me smiling contently: "I can see your crackle (meaning my butt-crack)."    

By Crumpet

It's wonderful to watch you in action, I admit

A part of a community..?

"You slept in" one of the regular customers in the swimming hall, an retired man said to me, when I arrived later then usual to my morning swim.

-----

Osa yhteisöä..?

"Sä nukuit rokuliin" eräs uimahallin vakioasiakkaista, eläkeikäinen mies sanoi minulle, kun tulin aamu-uinnille tavallista myöhemmin.

By Crumpet

A cry like that of a tiger leaping on its prey interrupted him

"I like it, that you don't wear makeup", he said looking at me in my everyday makeup.

----- 

"Minusta on ihanaa, ettet sinä meikkaa," hän sanoi katsellen minua arkimeikissäni.

By Crumpet

You young toad!

In Paris they know how to enjoy themnselves, but with some modesty in mind. If you want to spoil yourself with a delicious dessert, choose café gourmand. You'll get an espresso and a selection of miniatyre sweet desserts.

So much to eat, so little time..

-------

Pariissa osataan nautiskella, mutta kohtuus mielessä. Jos haluat hemmotella itseäsi herkullisella jälkiruualla, valitse café gourmand. Saat espresson lisäksi joukon miniatyyrimaisia makeita jälkiruokia.

 

Niin paljon syötävää, niin vähän aikaa..
