since mango

began pointing out all my old habits of incorrect english grammar, i find it more difficult to write in english. i am very glad that he is teaching me, but i've built a little wall, preventing me from writing more often, which i would really like to be doing, so i am facing some english writing dilemmas. and there is another obstacle in the way of my english writing. each time i write an engish text for my blog, i would like to post it immediately, but that's just not possible, i do not feel comfortable posting it with my mistakes, and i have to wait for mango, when it suits him, so's he can correct my grammar mistakes. we do it always together, so i can see what i am doing wrong, and it is a useful part of my learning. the process of my learning is a bit slow, because my incorrect english grammar is very old and very engraved in my brain. so these are the reasons why i do not write much any more. i am hoping to work on it and tear those walls down and write more often.

the truth is, the time is near, when i am not going to have much time for writing. i am leaving on the end of this month, for some time to see my family and friends and will be really busy with little time for any pc stuff. i would use it only for keeping in touch with mango.

me and mango, we are enjoying a lot of yummy fruits, enjoying sharing our fruitarian lifestyle. we are eating mostly red paw paw, lots of akee - our other very favorite fruit on the top of the list of our favorites right next to the magical durian. fresh durian yum, yum, yum. passion fruit, we ate heaps of white nectarines, but their season is almost over and they are not so tasty any more. we are also eating a lot of a very sweet grapes, very sweet and creamy cucumbers, yummy tomatoes and avocados. we are eating a bit less of rambutans, lychees, jackfruit, mangosteens..

we are drinking lots of oranges, cucumbers at times with a dash of tomato, grapes, apple and orange, pineapple, rockmelons and sometimes watermelon, but i drink more than mango, he is not so keen on them, and i also drink watermelon rind all by myself.

i am sure i forgot some kinds of fruit we are eating, drinking, but i do not want to sit here and think about it, i just want to keep on writing.

the garden is very happy, we are getting a fair bit of rain with yummy sunny breaks, and we are happy too, watching all our plants growing slowly everyday. the first cucumbers are going to be ready for harvest very soon. today we were admiring tiny babies of akee trees. lots of paw paws coming out as well, and some small paw paw trees transplanted from fruitopia that have picked up and growing very quickly and they are healthy. we also planted and are watching tomatoes grow. soon after we moved into this house, i got some nice big aloe given to me and three of them are ready to flower soon, and some of them are having babies. our garden gives us a lot of beauty, excitement and fun.

we enjoy swimming in the nearby barron river. i love rivers, i spent so many years by the coast, that i forgot about how much they used to mean to me. i am grateful to have them back in my life.

me and mango we live happy, peaceful fruitful fruity life

life is beautiful

fruit for life

mango and me

have been enoying the summer season for some time now, beutiful summer with its yummy fruit and refreshing swims in the ocean. yumy yum.

and most importantly the big day of our moving up to far north qeenslad and looking for our new home is very near. yes, we will begin our exciting journey around the 9th of december.

to add to our excitment further new events await us. a few months ago mango got an email from a friend of one of his friends, who said that he would be very interested in making a documentary about fruitarians and that he was thinking of us for it. because the mutual friend told him, that we were both long term fruity people. he also likes the idea that we are a fruitarian couple.

of course, me and mango were happy that someone should be interested in our unusual raw fresh fruit only lifestyle, and after making sure, that the documentary would be portrayed in a good fruitarian light (as so far most people prefer to ridicule this peaceful loving and healthy way of life), and the director of the movie emile said yes, he believes it is a great way to live and he is also interested in fruity ways, we agreed to it.

a few days later he asked if it would be ok, if his friend, cameraman, david should also come along, we said no worries, they are both very welcome. they have never been in australia and they are looking forward to seeing some parts of it as well as to making the fruity documentary.

we both spoke with emile on the phone as well, and they are arriving from america on the sixth of december and two or three days after we should all head of on our three thousand km long trip. they are going to have their own transport, our car is going to be fully packed with our belongings

we are more busy than usual, giving away and selling a few more things from our shoe box, and putting aside the stuff we are going to take with us

life is sweet

after me and my mum returned

form a very warm turkey to cold and almost sunless days and torrential rains were also in action. it was not the best welcome, as we both love sunny, warm or hot days.

i did not mind so much, as the thought that in six weeks i would be returning in to sunny warm oz, where i would warm up for sure, but mum had been hoping to be warmed by the czech summer, she had been looking so much forward to the whole autumn, winter and spring, and now the summer was not delivering what she had waited for, so she was complaining: "this is not a summer, the half of it is over, and before i know it, the long icy winter will be here again". and so on she winged, she just could not get over it, that she was so cold, and the smile often disappeared from her face.

it was not easy for me and romana to talk my mum in to joining me and visiting romana in as (the town where romana lives), we both wanted it and in the end we succeeded, mum agreed, and only two days after returning form turkey, romana and her son come over to pick us up and take us with them to their home.

we had a peaceful and great time, and we were also discussing a new serious situation with help of tarot cards. mainly my mum and i were reading, romana a little bit too. we were reading cards together for others often. i learned how to read from my mum and romana is learning from books. mum and romana see each other very rarely, they keep in touch mainly by phone, they are both too busy so, there is not much contact. the discussion was very intensive and it took two days, before something important sprang from the darkness into the light..

of course there was plenty of time spent with three year young david, for walks and visits.. mum left after two days, and there was only a few days left until the weekend, for which i had planned a get together with czech raw food people from the vitarian.cz forum, but our days spent together went so fast, that i realized that i could not leave romana alone, i felt that she needed me to be there with and for her, and my feelings were proven to be right when she asked me to stay a bit longer, so i could not make another choice, than to say goodbye to the raw food weekend in the country i had been looking forward to so much.

romana means a lot to me, she is my big love, we have only met each other a few times, when she was a baby, and then fifteen years later and we fell in love straight away. and it took a long time, before we began to see each other a bit more often. it is always like a beautiful dream, when we are together. our souls are happy together. so i ended up staying with her and david till wednesday, when i traveled back to stay with mum, dad etc. and on friday i was traveling again to skalna, for a school reunion. i had been looking forward to it like a little girl..

more about that, next time.. (this all took place toward the end of june and beginning of july this year!)

life is beautiful

so, it is here

yes, finally, the news we were waiting for, arrived...

A typical australian sunny morning was pretending like nothing special was happening, but i knew it already the night before, that good news would arrive today, yes, i even knew it was going to be a good one, and i was looking forward to it transpiring..

for a sunny breakfast at eleven, me and mango enjoyed a so sweet sweet fresh juice from grapes, two hours later we shared the king of fruit , a very yummy durian, me and mango are enjoying this first class delicacy from the tropical kingdom daily, all durians are magical, original and highly precious... we always share one, and exceptionally two, but at times, the exception becomes a rule... ha ha ha it serves us right.

later on i dived in to a hot bathtub, and my body and spirit were so satisfied, and soon after mango rushed in with a see-through blue jug, filled with one liter of freshly made juice from watermelon skin, and a half liter glass in the other hand, smiling, and i said thankyou also smiling, he said he was going to check the mail box

i kept smiling and i poured a full glass of that excellent, very much loved by me, drink, and i joyfully enjoyed sipping it.. relaxing in the hot water and in no time mango appeared again, telling me that he got a paper to collect some mail from the post office, and it did not indicate what kind of mail it was. i said: "this is the news we have been waiting for, for over two years now.. mango was not so sure, but he wanted it to be it.. he jumped in the car and drove off to the post office..

meanwhile i continued sipping on the strong juice, which had a very positive influence on me, and i love the taste; sweet and always different, at times it tastes like the best cucumber juice.. juice from watermelon skin, which almost everyone throws away. mango does not drink it, he does not like even the thought of it, i do not force him, everyone has their taste preferences. the truth is, that mostly we are enjoying eating or drinking the same fruit at the same time, may it be one kind of fruit or a mix of two or more..

i hadn't finished the second half-liter glass of dark green almost black juice and mango was back again, and it was clear as the sky to me, just from his shiny happy face expression, that it was good news, so my happiness also increased, and i said: so they gave it to you didn't they? yes they did. said mango and then we both giggled hi hi hi, ha ha ha, ho ho ho, hi hi hi and so on..

so, finally the time come to its fruition for me and mango, he got permission to live in australia, yippee, sweet, yahoo.. we both love australia and we would not like to have to look for our future home outside of sweet and magic land of oz. and already at the end of next year, mango can and will claim australian citizenship. one of our mutual dreams came true.

preparations for traveling up north are ahead: fixing car, maintenance of car, giving away stuff we wont take with us, sell some things, and packing what we will take with us.

and then almost three thousand kms, a long way through beautiful unique australia up to far north queensland, in to the tropics, where we are going to settle in some fruit paradise. we are looking forward to it, big time..

life is beautiful

ps: around 17:00 pealed tomatoes and cucumbers, mango with avocado, and after 18:00 yummy longans. we are looking forward to eating fruit picked by us straight from the trees, vines and fruit bushes.

this happened on the tenth of the ninth of two thousand and nine. (10 9 2009)

sweet mango
