I was expecting some wildlife in my window boxes, but this really exceeded my expectations!

I’m very happy to announce that there will be Spring this year, and maybe quite soon. And here’s the proof.

A very nice few days in Prague. Of course a few days is not enough to see even a fraction of what this city has to offer. We had a very good time. Old Town and Castle bit too crowded, but I spent a very nice day in Libeň, trying to trace some place associated with Bohumil Hrabal, one of my favourite writers.

Johan and I climbed Petřínská Rozhledna, from which we saw wonderful panoramas of Prague.

We are planning on going again, as it’s just 4,5 hours by train from Berlin.

A very nice visit of a friend from London. We have similar tastes and interests, so sightseeing together was a delight. Two highlights.

• Hamburgerbanhoff
  Amazing architecture. And the right to be lazy in the front.
  An exhibition of  Gülsün Karamustafa, a Turkish artist, whom i didn’t know before. Amazing. Very difficult subjects, striking, beautiful art.
• Berlin botanical garden.
  The best botanical garden I’ve ever visited. We spent there 5 hours, and managed see only half of glasshouses and maybe 1/3 of the grounds.

And now I have a cold. No, not because of visiting. I have it from Johan. Johan had it and he gave it to me and now I have it.
