Dave persuaded Fani that ONE DOUGHNUT – EN KROF would not be enough. Dave convinced Fani that the right thing to do would be to get SIX DOUGHNUTS – ŠEST KROFOV, because the 7th would then be FREE - BREZPLAČEN. Dave also learned that MARELIČNA MARMELADA is APRICOT JAM, BOROVNIČEVA MARMELADA is BLUEBERRY JAM, and that Slovenia’s DESSERTS – SLADICE, are sweet, but difficult to pronounce.

Dave is finally back from BOLNIŠKA – SICK LEAVE. His WOUND HAS HEALED – RANA SE JE ZACELILA. And his co-workers are happy he’s back, especially the cleaning lady Milena. It’s an unwritten tradition to SPITI ENEGA KRATKEGA or a HAVE A SHOT OF SPIRIT for such an occasion… Well actually, Slovenes find a REASON TO SAY A TOAST – RAZLOG DA NAZDRAVIJO very often… NA ZDRAVJE DAVE, glad you are back!

Luckily, everything seems to be alright with Dave´s WOUND - RANA… Dave visited the doctor today for a PREVEZ or BANDAGE CHANGE… Although according to Dave it still HURTS - BOLI, the doctor said everything should be fine. He gave Dave some PROTIBOLEČINSKE TABLETE - PAINKILLERS and told him to come back in one week…

Today our Irish friend learned the hard way, that you should always focus, and in his case stay away from the HOSTESA - HOSTESS, even if she looks STUNNING or “BOMBA” - as his co-worker said:) Dave wasn’t paying attention and he even cut himself and WAS BLEEDING – JE KRVAVEL. In the end Dave needed some STICHES - ŠIVI… Luckily Milena drove him to the HOSPITAL – BOLNICA/BOLNIŠNICA. I think I speak for all when I say it’s better not to tell Fani the real story of what really happened…

Another IMPORTANT LESSON – POMEMBNA LEKCIJA for Dave. SMETI means GARBAGE or TRASH, IZGOVOR is EXCUSE, LOČEVATI means TO SEPARATE, STEKLO is GLASS, PAPIR is PAPER, PLASTIKA is PLASTIC, PLOČEVINKA is CAN, PLASTENKA means PLASTIC BOTTLE and OSTALI ODPADKI means OTHER WASTE.

Today Dave managed to get his HAIL DAMAGE – ŠKODA ZARADI TOČE validated at the INSURANCE COMPANY - ZAVAROVALNICA. The VALUATOR - CENILEC made some PICTURES - FOTOGRAFIJE, filed a REPORT - POROČILO and Dave can now get the damage fixed. Of course, he will still have to drive to the PAINT SHOP - LIČARSKA DELAVNICA, but that is another story…

Dave was LAČEN – HUNGRY. There was nothing in the HLADILNIK – FRIDGE, and so he and Fani decided to get some burgers. And when it comes to burgers, today Dave learned that VEGGIE is VEGE, DOUBLE is DVOJNI, a TURKEY is a PURAN, BEEF is GOVEDINA, CHEESE is SIR, FRENCH FRIES are POMFRIT (OCVRT KROMPIRČEK), WITHOUT is BREZ, TO GO is ZA ZRAVEN, and Dave is already DRULING – Dave SE SLINI…

Fani surprised Dave today with a full BASKET – KOŠARA of CHESTNUTS – KOSTANJI and MUSHROOMS - GOBE and hers weren’t POISONOUS - STRUPENE. They decided to have an autumn picnic with the NEIGHBOURS – SOSEDI. Autumn is Fani’s favorite SEASON OF THE YEAR - LETNI ČAS.

Dave's first attempt at RAW CAKE – PRESNA TORTA was a success. He also learned a few new Slovenian words: ZGORNJI - UPPER, SPODNJI - LOWER, VISOK - HIGH, GLOBOK - DEEP, PLITEK - SHALLOW, OZEK - NARROW, ŠIROK - WIDE, TEMNO – DARK, SVETLO - BRIGHT, TEŽEK - HEAVY and LAHEK - LIGHT. PREDAL is a DRAWER, and PLAST is a LAYER. Dave needs to wear an APRON - PREDPASNIK, to keep his clothes clean and if his next cake turns out as well, he might even offer you a slice… Izvoli :)

Yes, ORODJE – TOOL is not the same as OROŽJE - WEAPON. Dave first told Jože that he has a PROBLEM – a TEŽAVO that is VERY COMPLICATED – ZELO KOMPLICIRANA. But when Dave explained that he needed to make a HOLE – LUKNJA, for a PLUMBING PIPE – VODOVODNA CEV, sosed Jože finally understood that what Dave needs is a POWER DRILL – VRTALNIK, which is an orodje, which you can use without a LICENCE – DOVOLJENJE.
