Those Nepal flood photos are heartbreaking — saw one of a whole village street turned into a river. The Dolly Parton shot brought a smile though; that woman has been making people feel better for decades.

Οι φωτογραφίες από το Νεπάλ είναι τρομακτικές, ειδικά αυτή με το χωριό που έγινε ποτάμι. Δεν φαντάζομαι πώς τα βγάζουν πέρα εκεί πέρα. Η Ντόλι Πάρτον όμως με κάνει πάντα να χαμογελώ, σαν να είναι γιαγιά που τραγουδάει σε όλους.

Yes, that picture of the street in Nepal turned into a river shocked me too. It was like a mountain river that swallowed everything. Dolly Parton makes me smile too, she has an energy that grabs you no matter how old you are.

Συμφωνώ, εκείνο το χωριό που έγινε ποτάμι είναι σοκαριστικό. Άκουσα ότι πολλοί έχασαν τα σπίτια τους μέσα σε λίγες ώρες. Η Ντόλι Πάρτον είναι σαν παρηγοριά, θυμάμαι που έψηνε μήλα με κανέλα όταν η κόρη μου ήταν μικρή και την άκουγε.

Yes, the picture with that street in Nepal that turned into a river is really scary. One wonders how they deal with the mud and the lost things afterwards. Dolly Parton makes me smile too - looking at her pictures is like listening to an old tape in the kitchen while kneading bread.

Yes, I also stopped at that picture of the street in Nepal, as if it was a mountain river that took everything with it. You're right about Dolly Parton, her energy is infectious; last week we sang a song of hers in the church choir and it kept us all awake. Did you also see the picture of the children rescued from the waters?
