The old man and the ice cream

 

Ce zi inabusitoare! Fiecare trecator se racorea cum putea: o inghetata, o sticla rece de apa, un suc la o terasa. Eu m-am multumit cu cativa stropi de ploaie din cand in cand. Dar nu mi-a placut cand am auzit tunete. Nu ma intelegeti gresit, imi plac furtunile de vara, dar nu imi place sa ma prinda o asemenea manifestare capricioasa a vremii departe de casa, fara umbrela, in sandale si imbracata foarte subtire. Asa ca m-am ascuns sub un tei langa Catedrala Evanghelica si m-am adancit in paginile unui roman. Abia am trecut de primele doua randuri citite, cand am auzit niste acorduri de chitara si o voce cantand "Angie" de la The Rolling Stones. Minunat!...Un tanar exersa la citara. Si canta chiar bine. Lectura a fost mai placuta pe melodii de la Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones si Bob Dylan.

What a stifling day!  Everyone was trying their best to cool off: eating ice cream, drinking a bottle of cold water, having a drink at a terrace. I was pleased with a few drops of rain from time to time. But I didn't like it when I started hearing the sound of rumbling thunder. Don't get me wrong, I like summer storms, but I'm not very happy when such capricious weather catches me off guard away from home, without an umbrella, wearing thin clothes and a pair of sandals. So I hid under a linden tree near the Evangelical Cathedral and I opened a novel to pass the time. After reading only two lines, I heard the chords of a guitar and a voice singing "Angie" from The Rolling Stones. Wonderful!... A young man was doing some guitar practice. He was quite good. Songs from Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan made it much more pleasant to read.

Stand pe banca/Sitting on a bench

 

Ce cool arata bunicutii cu ochelarii de soare. Oare ce a vazut asa de interesant fetita la papuceii ei? Nu stiu daca sunt chiar bunicii ei, dar mie asa imi place sa imi imaginez. Intr-o zi calduroasa de vara doi bunici si-au asteptat nepotica sa iasa de la scoala si au luat-o la o plimbare prin centru. Nu suna mai bine decat: doi batrani stateau pe o banca si o fetita si-a facut si ea loc intre ei?

P.S.: Simt ca sunt in pana de idei. Fotografia e pentru 7 iunie.

The grandparents look so cool with their sunglasses on. I wonder what she found so interesting about her shoes. I don't know if they are really her grandparents, but I like to imagine they are. On a hot summer day two grandfathers picked up their niece from school and took her for a walk through the square. Doesn't that sound better than: two old men sat on a bench and a little girl made some room for herself between them?

P.S.: I feel like I'm out of ideas today. The photo is for June 7th.
