Last week, Jim, a friend of mine, and I drove to the Comox airport to pick up a friend and her cousin from Prague. The woman from the Czech Republic spoke no English. After we arrived back at their place following an hour drive I hugged my friend and extended my hand to her cousin.

I had such a feeling of empathetic communication that just remembering it now once again sends a warm sense of gratitude throughout my being. I am so happy to be a human.

We have signed a contractor on and as soon as the working plans are drawn up and then get the permits past by Oak Bay Municipality they can start the renos. The contractor is very booked and doesn’t think he can get on with it until October. He was highly recommended and being that booked with work says something.I have met quite a few of the owners and they have been very friendly and interesting, after years of living in the area they have some dandy ideas on hiking trails.

I graduated from the “Academy of Art” in Belgrade, and has since integrated my love for art and sculpture into the human-powered machines I now create.
