BIrthday party | Narozeninova party

Jana has her birthday soon so we had birthady party on Sunday - a lot of people and the food theme was "design your pizza". It was lovely afternoon and evening I must admit ;) - at least she's taking it easy that she's one year older :P now.

Bathroom | Koupelna

Yay, We have finished the bathroom "project"! Due nice weather recently this took us a bit longer than expected, but because the motivation of having the celebration of Jana's birthday on Sunday, on late Saturday night after the Dragon Boating races the bathroom was done. Of course it still needs some bits and pieces here but those are quite minor and mainly the bathroom is operational. When are we going to take the first bath?!?

Hura, tak jsme dokoncili koupelnovy "projekt"! Kvuli hezkemu pocasi nam to trvalo o neco dele nez jsme si mysleli, ale diky motivaci, kterou byla nedelni oslava Janinych narozenin, jsme v sobotu v pozdni noci (pote co jsme pres den byli na zavodech dracivh lodi) koupelnu dokonocili. Samozdrejme jeste chybi nejake ty drobnosti, ale ty jsou vicemeene minimalni a koupelna je plne pouzitalne. Kdy si asi dame prvni vanu?

Karapoti Classic

Finally we did an mountain bike race on Saturday, the southern hemisphere's longest running mountain bike event Karapoti Classic, by the way not far from where we live.

We finished in relatively good times, Michal a bit under 4h and Jana a bit over 5 (see the results), which I thinks wasn't too bad for our first race with hardly any training. Although I have to admit it is far far away from the track record around 2h15 and friend of us Ivan who did under 3hrs in the elite category.

Konecne jsme si na nasich horskych kolech vyjeli v Sobotu na zavod horskych kol, a to udajne nejstarsi zavod horskych kol na jizni polokouli Karapoti Classic, docela nedaleko od naseho bydliste.

Dojeli jsme v docela dobrych casech Michal neco pod 4h a Janca malo pres 5 (viz vysledky), coz si myslim nebylo vubec spatne na to ze to byl nas prvni zavod a vlastne temer bez pripravy. I kdyz musime uznat ze na tratovy limit nekde na hranici 2h15 ani na kamarada Ivana ktery to zajel pod 3 hodiny v elitni kategorii, ani zdaleka nemame.

UUHOLO Slideshow

http://slideshow.uuholo.org/ - What is this about ?

This is not our idea, in fact Michal has overheard it at some presentation and started to implement it at home, as many similar "projects", that appear here and there from nowhere and that instantly gain the highest priority and other things stay in behind ;)

However the pricip is very simple: We have a photo frame in our living room (made of old LCD monitor), that really looks almost like a picture. And because we don't want to have there our photos (only) but photos related to our friends and relatives, you cam determine what's going to show there - you can send us a new photo and withing short time (up to 10 minutes if the computer at home is switched on) this photo will be shown both in the photo frame as well as it's small version on Internet. It will stay there for defined time, actually 2 weeks from processing (I think).

How to send a picture then? It's simple - send an email to address uuholo@seznam.cz and anywhere into the message body enter the keyword "uuphoto" or "uufoto" (either of them) and the fist attached file (image) will be processed. Don't send more than one image as only the 1st one will be used. If you also want to add text message please put the text into the Subject field. And please be aware, both your email and the message will be shown so please send us only images you would consider putting in your living room. Besides of that, we reserve the right to remove any image that seems inappropriate to us.

http://slideshow.uuholo.org/ - Co je tohle zac ?

Toto neni nase idea, po pravde receno ji Michal zaslechl na prednasce iniciativne se toho chopil a rozhodl se to doma naistalovat, jako hodne jinych a podobnych "projektu" ktere se najednou objevi odnikud a ziskaji tak vysokou prioritu, ze jine veci zustavaji chvili stranou.

Princip je jednoduchy: Mame doma v obyvacim pokoji fotoramecek (udelany ze stareho LCD monitoru), ktery vypada skoro jako obrazek. A protoze tam nechceme jenom a jenom svoje fotky a chceme ty fotky vazat spis na svoje kamarady, rodinu a zname, tak obrazky ktere se tam objevuji muze poslat uplne kdokoliv a behem chvile (10 minut pokud je nas pocitac doma prave zaply) se objevi jak u nas doma v ramecku tak ve zmensene verzi na teto webove strance a zustanout tam po predem nastavenou dobu, aktualne 2 tydny.

Jak nam poslat fotku na ramecek? Jednoduse poslete mail s prilohou na adresu uuholo@seznam.cz a do textu dopisu napiste klicove slovo "uuphoto" nebo "uufoto" (funguje kterekoliv z nich) a prvni prilozeny soubor (obrazek) bude zpracovan. Neposilejte vice souboru protoze se zpracuje opravdu jen ten prvni. Pokud chcete prilozit nejakou zpravu, napiste ji hdo hlavicky (Subject) zpravy. Jenom upozornujeme ze jak text zpravy tak vas email budou zverejneny, tak prosim posilejte jenom to co byste si dovolili sami povesit doma na zed. A mimo to si vyhrazujeme pravo nevhodne obrazky smazat.

Rock 'N' Roll

From February 28th until March 28th Wellington's Circa Theatre (www.circa.co.nz) is showing Tom Stoppard's play Rock 'N' Roll (www.rocknrolltheplay.com). The play itself is partially from Czechoslovakia between 1968 ana 1990. Czech club was asked for some help and together with Jana & Jirka Babor's we have recorded for them some Czech sentences and provided them feedback to Czech living etc. on one of their rehearsals.

And on Saturday 28th was the premiere. We attended together wit Babors and Gustav, who celebrated his 75th the day before. Some of ud haven't been in Theatre for years and for most of us it was the 1st premiere, but the play was really nice and worth to see.

First reviews can be found on www.theatreview.org.nz and www.stuff.co.nz

Od 28. února do 28. března uvádí wellingtonské divadlo Circa Theatre (www.circa.co.nz) pod názvem Rock 'N' Roll (www.rocknrolltheplay.com) hru Toma Stopparda. Hra se dějově odehrává částečně i v Československu mezi roky 1968 a 1990. Český klub byl osloven zástupci divadla s žádostí o spolupráci a společně s Janou & Jirkou Baborovými jsme se zapojili do přípravy představení. Jednak nahráváním pár vět v češtině a na jedné ze zkoušek dali jsme jim nějaké komentáře a připomínky k tomu jak se žilo v Československu.

No a v sobotu 28/2 byla premiéra a párty, tak jsme se na ni vypravili, společně s Baborovými a Gustavem, který den předtím oslavil své 75. narozeniny. Někteří z nás nebyli v divadle mnoho let, a premiéra byla pro většinu z nás premiérou, ale myslím že hra stála zato a že se nám všem líbíla.

První recenze představení si můžete přečíst na www.theatreview.org.nz a www.stuff.co.nz
