Memories

To prepare two presents for two wonderful occasions, I scanned plenty of old photographs and made two photobooks. 

I inherited the photos from my parents (who unfortunately passed away way too soon), so going through the photos was quite emotional. 

But fun :-)

 

All these photos were taken between 1965 and 1967.

While I understand old skiing equipment, I cannot comprehend what my Dad was wearing for alpine hiking...

Away, again

Oh dear, I haven't posted anything in the last month because I've been extremely busy.

And I've been away. 

To Prague, obviously.

 

And I've visited the wonderful Strahov Library. This book from the early 17th century describes - and depicts - the itinerary of Friedrich von Dohna.

 

A lovely day for a walk

 Another lovely day to walk around my home town.

32.5 km.

One of the many thousands to do it.

Away ...

I've been away.

I spent a few days in ...

 

Austria, of course ;-)

Seeing a book title like this, I just had to order it. 

A shame they had a wine-tasting and not Marillenknödel :-)

And the chocolates are super-delicious!

A short break

We used a long weekend and went climbing, cycling, sight-seeing and relaxing ... to Croatia.

 

We stumbled upon a 6-th century church...

... admired a 2000-year-old foot...

... and had lunch with a view of a 2000-year-old arena.

 

 The scenery was fantastic, as always in this time of the year.

 

 

Physics!

Don't you just love physics?

Well, I do :-)

A bamboo desk

MiniMojcek needed a new desk and of all the materials, he chose bamboo. 

Not oak, not beech, not birch, not acacia, not even pine or spruce. Bamboo.

So we made him a bamboo desk. And it goes quite well with the other furniture in the room, so I'm happy. 

But what matters most is that he's happy :-)
