Continue readingTak urcite mate v Cechach krasneji ,uzivate si slunicka a odstinu zelene. Ja musim konstatovat ze od zari jedu jako sroubek a vubec se nezastavim a na nejaky vylet popravdu vubec nebyl cas. Ted jsme se tedy konecne dockali dvoutydennich prazdnin a prvni do ceho jsem se pustila byla fyzicka prace na renovaci stolu. To sundavani vrstev starych nateru ma co do sebe (ve smyslu terapeutickem). Ale taky jsem se trochu dostala na zahradu – teda paklize se tomu zahrada da rikat kdyz mam vsechno v kvetinacich – a to me opravdu dost dobiji byt venku. I pouhopouhe posezeni na cerstvem vzduchu a poveseni pradla ven a takovy to ‘pottering around’ jak rikaj anglicani je dobry. Snazim se nemyslet na praci ale vim ze me ceka defacto pracovni minimalne tyden protoze je toho ve skole moc. Vubec nevim jak to na ten plnej uvazek budu dlouhodobe davat.
My son currently turned 16 and therefore registered in the system and can work! Today he went to do just that for the first time and I am incredibly proud of him and also excited and hopeful.
Continue readingFebruary in London is slightly less depressing than January (which seem to be endless) but still pretty much just grey and dull and nothing else. This week of school holidays is all about us being at home, doing nothing with exception of me nagging my son to finish his GCSE projects, and stretching my support from research, time management, planning, writing targets, setting up times to do tasks…. into doing it myself. Each and everyday seems impossible to get them out of the bed (and equally impossible to get them to the bed at the end of the day). All they are interested in is the speed of internet and food (ideally being served by myself to their individual bedrooms upstairs). Add having to walk dog 2-3x a day (depending on how long the walk was), shopping and cooking, and the image is complete. Max seems to be the happiest family member right now, having us around.

Between 2018-2021 was Branik temporarily home to someone who gave it a soul. I love the new wooden floors and use of vintage furniture. I’m glad that Victorian doors shipped from England are finally hanging and in use! I love the simplicity, cleanliness and dimmed colours.
Obcas se citite dole zatimco jini se divaji (2) ale vydrzte (8) ustojte to (6), udelejte si radost (7) dejte si salek (3) nebo sklenicku (9). Jdete na prochazku, projizdku (1) nebo vylet (5). Pak se vratte ke svym blizkym (4). Ty male momenty stesti jsou v obycejnych, obcas neviditelnych vecech. Hodne stesti v jejich nalezani!

Je to fascinujici videt gejziry svetel a hvezdicek explodovat proti tmave obloze. Ale priste si mozna prectu navod a nastuduji bezpecne vzdalenosti a unikove cesty ;) Byla to uzasna legrace protoze jsme netusili co tato krabicka skryva za prekvapeni. Holt pokazdy je neco poprve ;)
Halloween budiz timto (predcasne) oslaven a zapit, spolu s koncem leta a nastupem podzimu.
No a dnes dopoledne si v dobrem rozpolozeni uklizim po party, chystam se vytirat, slunce venku vylezlo po desti, ja vyspana do ruzova, radio napohodu a priklati se muj pubertalni syn s hlaskou “this is the most depressing song ever” smerem k necemu ve stylu veseleho country, co ani nemohl znat, a ve zlomku sekundy zabije mou veskrze pozitivni naladu.
Pubertaaaaaaaaa🙈
Living room project – it happens that there actually was a fireplace once. It was very ugly and bad so it got removed, opening to the chimney closed, wall plastered and painted over. Then I got across this mantle piece from solid wood, collected it from someone who was getting rid of it, installed it exactly in the same place and painted over. Its fake, but its magic. There was compromise to be made in terms of location and size of TV which I did not want to be the central point of the room and I have found a solution in a form or adjustable arm. So its slightly further away but still close enough if we want to watch a movie.

Vcerejsi rande s kamoskou v Horniman Museum and gardens.
Zavzpominaly jsme jaky to bylo kdyz deti byly maly, jaky to bylo kdyz travnik nebyl rozbahnenej a mohly jsme mit celodenni piknik, ted nas to mnozstvi malejch deti a kocarku a ostrazitejch maminek spis omezuje protoze nemuzu pustit psa navolno v parku aniz by nekdo nedostal hysterak…
Dokonce modry nebe a slunicko, ovsem neni si kde sednout, clovek uz je starsi a chce lavicku vyhratou sluncem a ne ponorenou do stinu, kafe u bandstandu zavreny, dlouhy fronty u hlavniho bufiku v budove muzea. Dcera se doma nenajedla pres my rady a doporuceni a ted ma hlad a ja tam pulhodiny frontovat odmitam. Koupime si kafe do kelimku a opoustim ji s bankovni kartou v ruce at si koupi co chce a vyceka si to sama.
Nakonec to vsechno zvladnem a dobre to dopadne a dokonce bez hysteraku :-) Dnes se pocitam za stastnou. Jen ta analyza co jsme s kamaradkou provedli na tema smerovani a samostatnosti nasich pubertalnich deti, jejich moralniho kompasu, uzemeni a neztracenosti ve svete mi bude jeste chvili lezet v hlave.
Krasne jaro vam vsem!
A je to tady!
Dalsi rok za nami….. Tak at je ten novy plny zdravi, stesti, spokojenosti a lasky (a penez, ty se hodej obcas taky). Happy New Year!
