so here's the thing folks. i made a mistake. i screwed it up bad. i left the special guest star of the day out from the recap of our adventureous saturday. i have no idea how i could overlook him, especially since he was such a great part of our eventful day.
we met him on the rainy street, he was jumping about right in front of the main building of elte. i guess he really likes spring showers, maybe even more than i do, cause he looked very happy bouncing about, hopping in and out of paddles. i mean how couldn't he, when jumping in paddles & splashing water is the best part of spring showers! the very moment i glampsed at him i wanted to grab his cute little squishy body, caddle him, and take him with me. but some strange guy was walking right behind him, and wanted to kick him away. lucky him, he managed to bounce away, then i cried out for him, wanting to safe him from further kicking. all of a sudden, the strange guy turned out to be a nice guy, as he picked him up, and handed to me, accompanied by a wide smile on his face.
from that moment on, the rest of day with our cute & squishy buddy was a walk in the park. i reckon he really did enjoy himself with us, 'cause he kept bouncing about wherever we took him. first he got to take a look around in könyvtár klub and watched us having a cup of coffee. then he accompanied us in a chinese restaurant, acting like a naughty boy, not sitting still, but jumping about all the time. i reckon he must have been rather hungry, or just wanted more of our attention? ...i should have bought him some yummy chinese food! then he came with us to petruska andris's concert too. i am pretty sure this was his first real cultural experience. during the concert he sat still under our chair, hardly ever moving about, completely amazed and mesmerized by the music. i must say he really has a brilliant taste in music!
then, i am afraid, as we were leaving szabad az á, he suffered his first, and hopefully last, traumatic event with us. by that time we were such close buddy-buddies that i even took him with me to the cubicle to have a pee. but after i came out i got so excited taking a couple of polaroid photos that i almost left him in the loo. my-oh-my, that poor guy! he was lying on the filthy floor, in the corner of the tiny loo, looking very rejected and blue. upon realizing that we almost left him behind, we picked him up fast and cuddled him, and never let him go the rest of the evening. he adored his first ride on the underground, hugging Zsö, or rather Zsö hugging him strong, making sure that he would not escape. naturally, he took a look around with us on moszkva tér. similarly to us, he said his silent goodbyes, with crocodile tears in the corners of his non-existent, but ever so large and beautiful green eyes. you could clearly tell that a great gloominess overtook him as we were walking around the square, and taking photos of our admired moszkva tér.
by the time we got home he looked quite tiny, his ever so shrinking body covered with filth from head to toe. still, underneath all that dirt he was glowing from happiness. you could just tell from the way his eyes were sparkling that it had been the best day of his life!
so now that you know quite a few things about the special guest star of the day, let me introduce you to Z. Ö(l)dön! (pronounced with a silent l!)
isn't he the cutest and most beautiful green balloon ever?
he was so happy with us that he could not stop bouncing about... it was really hard work looking after him and always keeping an eye on him.
dear Z. Ödön with a silent l, thank you for entering our life and letting us take care of you! you really colored our day (green)!
