The art of being lazy (and **cking owning it)
October 16 marks the international World Spine Day. This years theme is 'Straighten up and Move'. To mark this special occasion I did exactly the opposite and ended up walking out with a spine actually aching from spending the Sunday mostly in bed. But I proudly proclaim here
Oh Wonder(ous times)
It was just about a week after I've turned thirty. Away from my family (including the family of friends I've spent the biggest chunk of my twenties and immigration experience with, and then lost to a divorce and a life re-shuffle), but surrounded by a completely
Parenting
> Except for that one infamous year of my teenage rebellion, my relationship with mum and dad has always been bulletproof. When I was eighteen, my brother killed himself. And with every such deep reaching tragedy, it changes you, it shakes up your world and beliefs. Maybe (and it may
The P(l)easant Life
A quick trip to Prague before embarking on a crazy road trip in Austrian mountains. Walking around in skimpy shorts, having some ice cream (cause I'm a summer stereotype) even though it always makes me sick. Picking up a beautiful rubber bracelet from the dirt of the street
Picnic Season Unlocked
The picnic season unlocked, bonus frostbites and deer poo, but overall a great Sunday in Richmond with what's admittedly the most delicious scones in London (courtesy of the Pembroke Lodge). Finally, after parting our ways for a little bit with an amazing concert of Christine and the Queens
Xmas Groove Initiated
So midweek date night to get the christmas groove finally ignited. Mulled wine concocted completely guerrilla-style in the office microwave, which strikingly came out as the best mulled beverage of several last winters (maybe that's our new thing?), xmas dinner represented by Starbuck's turkey feast flatbread
Instant Solutions
Our generation grew to depend on the instant solutions. We want everything the easy way. And right now. Being it a grocery, clothes, experiences, travels, russian wives or diploma, you can have EVERYTHING in an instant with just a few clicks on your phone or pc. (Especially men) grew so
Poxed
> "Oh my, that child is not good for your health." That was a concerned doctor at the walk-in clinic in Streatham, after she carefully lifted my t-shirt to listen to my breathing with a stethoscope, only to discover there was absolutely nowhere to place it on my
Discoveries
Two major (mind-boggling and world-shaking) discoveries has been made this week, both with profound implications for the fate of humanity. On the 28th September, 11.30am EST, NASA announced at the press conference having an evidence there is (under certain conditions and time) liquid water flowing on the surface of
The unplanned and magnifique
After spending some time with my family in Rajec and some unexpected catch ups with the kids I used to hang out with back in Blansko (yes, majority of them being responsible - more or less - parents now), me and Tereza headed out to Prague. She proposed taking this
That new life
Approaching 30 is a weird stale unsettling experience. The period in between 20 and 30 had been long enough stretch of (more or less) emotionally stable landscape without any major world-shaking growing up experiences and events, unlike let's say the time between when you are 10 and 20.
Little gift
So a belated birthday present from the city of London, I'm in Soho waiting for David (not really under very glamorous circumstances, so all kinds of thoughts circling in my mind), listening to my latest musical obsession 'Oh Wonder'. At one point, whilst humming along to
