Normally, I would go with Peter and ask him: “Buy a dryer, the one we have is not functioning anymore.” Petr liked to devote time to these things. He liked to study important information about the product whether it was a watch for running, skies or climbing shoes. He thought about different options and compared…

Through your eyes
My eyesight has worsened since you left. There are many reasons for it. My age, stress, the fact that you are gone and my bad habits linked to it, a genetic predisposition – I am wearing glasses since 12 years old. It is very interesting for me to see people who do not wear glasses….
I go to a wild-rose today, and you?
„How did the potatoes grow, auntie?“ “Nice, very nice, young man, only small and a little!“ This was a response from Luda when I sent him a photo with my harvest. I am thinking that for me it is fine. I am already happy that potatoes grew and even more that we can eat them….
I do not know a better news
I did not write you for a while but I have to do so now. First, there was our wedding anniversary …. It was hard since we did not celebrate it together. We have watched this celebration with girls on DVD. When girls saw that this day was still painful for me, they took my…
Morning with Bowie
Nobody knows how mornings would look like. Everyone falls into bed in the evening, sometimes enthusiastic, awaiting a nice sleep, sometimes worried, since a sleep is not coming or good as it should be. Sometimes one gets to bed after a shot of plum brandy – one, two, three and one is in limbo or…

I will put it into bottom
I was touched by the news of a death of a Czech director, writer and actor Jiri Menzel this week. It is sad that people who achieved so much are passing away. I was sad. I am more sensible to the news about deaths this year. A personal experience left its marks. I am sorry…
My foam is falling, please take it
This is how we were communicating with Peter every time when we ended up together in a café. Peter has never drank coffee, I was a rebel with bad habits at home. He let himself being convinced to drink a coffee after 20 years of marriage from time to time. He liked the smell of…
Peter’s garden project
We are starting, one can say. My small trials to plant something are starting to bear fruit. I exaggerated with tomatoes in the first place. Visitors coming to a garden’s corner where is not a construction material bump into several sorts of tomato. I made it big this year. We have 80 tomato bushes and…
