Nice to see he is as cute as ever!

Boo Hoo

So a couple weeks ago my computer stopped booting properly and I've spent the last few days reinstalling Windows and all my other programs. Wah!

This Weekend

Pics from Mirek again, who evidently has decided to chronicle my life in Prague via photography for me!

Here I am, hobbit-like on the top of the hill at Svatý Jan pod Skalou (Saint John under the Rock). Although we've got blue skies and sunshine, it's as cold as buggery because the wind is really blowing up a treat!





The big news of the weekend, of course, is how we got to Svatý Jan pod Skalou in the first place -- by motorbike! I got me a helmet and hitched a ride on the back of Mirek's cute red number, my first motorbike experience ever!

Last Weekend

Last weekend we went to some burčák festival in Litoměřice.



Burčák is this wine so new that it's still fizzing and cloudy with enzymes and vitamins -- tastes a little bit cidery and if you buy some to take home, you have to loosen the cap every few minutes to let the accumulated gas escape! After tasting various types of burčák from various winemakers, it was necessary to take a litttle nap (just a nap, NOT passing out!) somewhere:



But I roused myself to take a look at the medieval parade that was part of the festivities. Yay, monks and knights!
