Face to Face Opera

Last night my wife and I went to the Little Bay restaurant in Belgrade. We were told that Toby Sims will perform for the guests and that we shouldn’t miss it. It’s a nice place, not too big, not too small and quite intimate actually. The first thing that struck me as strange was the fact that I couldn’t see a stage, but I dismissed it thinking that he’ll probably sing from a balcony.

I couldn’t have been farther from the truth! :) Surely enough, he did perform on the balcony, but you should have seen the way he climbed onto it! :) Running between tables, jumping from the stairs, lying on the floor… He performed at almost every single table, kneeling in front of the ladies and holding their hands singing to them. No one was spared, not even the waitress.

I haven’t seen anything like it. An unforgettable evening. Absolutely hilarious! :)

The Good Dog

We’ve only realized how much we’ve missed a dog around the house when we got a new one :) We’ve previously had a Rough Collie (Lesi) which was our favorite for more than 12 years and a couple of mixed breeds (Rea & Ogi), but as of last year no dogs roamed our yard and we kept postponing the day when we would get a new one. For what reason, I now really don’t know as the newcomer, an Epagneul Breton named Bobi, has absolutely captured our hearts.

Bobi

Bobi is a year and a half old and has been living in a flat in Belgrade until last Saturday. Now he’s got a big yard all to himself and I think he’s delighted with being able to go to the “park” whenever he wants. :)

I’ve uploaded a small gallery with pictures from his first few days here and the previous owners supplied a couple of photos from back when he was a puppy. :)

He’s absolutely adorable :) Constantly running, chasing balls, apples, nuts, cats or whatever happens to be available. On rare moments when he keeps still, he enjoys being patted, stroked, cuddled and scratched, but even then he’s always ready to jump up and go chasing whatever he’s spotted :)

Don’t have a dog? What are you waiting for?
