Umbrellas in the snow.....


When i first moved here my Austrian flat mate and i used to find it hilarious that Slovenes whip out there umbrellas when its snowing.

And yet yesterday i found myself returning to my house to retrieve my umbrella to protect me from the heavy snowfall and stop me getting all snowy-wet.....its very practical dont-ya-know.

If only i could pick up their language quite so easily.....

  1. Ha ha, I noticed that too about the Slovenes and their umbrella obsession!!

    And completely understand about the language. When I was there, I, for a while, only managed to learn how the say the number four. My friends found it funny how everytime I went to the fruit and veg market near the three bridges, that I would always return with four of everything!! Thankfully I finally found my way with numbers...
