February 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.

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!

Vybusniny v rukou amateru (dejstvi prve).

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🙈

v Londyne

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!
