Forgotten Blog Birthday, Life Updates & Challenge

-
You know it's badly busy when you forget your own blog's birthday. That was sometime in late March, apparently.

I managed  to update the label system though. Yay for that! Let's throw some confetti. Hopefully it should be a bit clearer and easier for you to navigate and find things.

I feel like the poor bloggie is practically dying, but to be honest, this time I'm not feeling that guilty for letting it happen. Yes, I would love to post more. I have the ideas. I also have posts that were once almost ready to go up, but they didn't. And since then they got irrelevant and now I don't know what to do with them. But I know that this time around, the reasons keeping me away from blogging are good reasons. Real life reasons, like consciously choosing to spend time with family, or having a new job. That mixed things up a bit ;)

I swear, I'm trying to learn to organize my time better and squeeze some blogging time in. I'm working on it. I'll get there sooner or later.

For today I thought I would throw in a couple of photos and snippets of what has been going on during the last couple of months (other than what I've just said. Damn, this is so organized.)


    I enjoyed a black out. We haven't had a proper long one for years and years. There was a lot of strategically placed candles involved and I just loved how refreshing it was to have all the electronics switched off. Everything was quiet. If you wanted music, you had to sing yourself. Maybe we should all schedule a "black out" every once in a while.

    I have

    - been reading books. Mainly one very extensive War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Liking it! 

    - been enjoying watching the second series of The Musketeers (very much!) and then when it ended I drowned my sorrow in Poldark.

    - been confused by the weather.


    - been going out for walks around town and also into actual real nature.

    - been loving Hudson Taylor's debut album!!! (still waiting for an actual blog post to happen.)

    Spring is in full swing now. And I'm getting these waves of nostalgia for travelling and for London... The calendar says it's May. That's bad. That means in a month it will be 1 year since my trip to London and I still haven't posted all of my London-y blog posts. *bows head in shame* There are at least 3, possibly 4-5 posts to go. Shall I make this into a challenge? It would make sense to finish it all for the 1 year anniversary of the adventure... Oh dear, this could potentially kill me. I'll do my best, but if I fail, let's just pretend this "challenge" business never happened, agreed? :D 

    I will sign off now and go be all very busy. Hopefully, I'll see you... much sooner than you would expect :D Thank you, if you're still with me. xx

    Well aren't you good at patiently waiting for me to get it together? I hope the following music-y ramblings will not disappoint you. In all honesty, the timing of this post could not be any better, because Hudson Taylor's debut album has only just been released in Ireland and for the rest of us the wait is almost over. Trust me, 23rd March will be here sooner than you think. Head over to hudsontaylormusic.com to find out about how and where you can pre-order it. (Or indeed, purchase if you have the proverbial luck of the Irish :) ) Now, let me once again take you back in time, to last summer, 5th June 2014, if you want me to be date specific. On that memorable day I strolled around Regent's Park and in the evening I went to my first (and hopefully not last) concert in London. I've already talked about the supporting musicians: Kimberly Ann and the oh so amazing Flyte (still not over them!), but now comes the time to talk about the music that I

    Milé divadlo, chybíš mi!

    Dnes je Noc divadel. Měla jsem být.. hádejte kde. Nikdy dřív jsem se Noci divadel neúčastnila, nebyla odvaha/s kým jít, ale moje posedlost láska k divadlu je čím dál silnější, a letos to mělo vyjít. Měla jsem to všechno naplánované. Měla jsem dnes být v divadle. A nejsem. Všichni víme proč. Také všichni víme, že se pravidla, respektive možnosti toho, jak divadelní představení (ne)smějí fungovat, mění téměř před očima a záhadně, občas trochu proti zdravému rozumu. Nejnovější perlička: “Divadla smějí hrát, ale bez diváků.”… Ne, nebudu to tady komentovat, nemá to smysl. Je rok 2020. Nic nedává smysl. Místo toho raději napíšu o tom, proč divadlo miluju, co mi na něm chybí a proč je živý zážitek z představení nenahraditelný. Takový malý milostný dopis pro divadlo.

    Music Monthly: September 2013

    -
    I am not even going to try and come up with an apology for this article being 2 weeks late. It just is. Deal with it :) Why not take a little mid-October brake from digging in the back of our closets, searching for where the heck are all the gloves and scarves and warm wolly sweaters, make yourself and nice cuppa of something warm and listen to a couple of songs I assembled last month. As always, it's a little bit of everything: mainstream, indie, folky... I hope you find something you like. First up, yet again, Hudson Taylor . One more song and then I'll shut up about them. Haha, as if :D  First they would have to stop producing such lovely and heart warming music and that is unlikely. (New EP is out now, go get it on iTunes!) Anyway, this is about September and there was one song in particular that spoke to me more than the others. It's one of their oldies, from a couple of years back, and it's called "Concrete Walls" . Sadly, I must say that a lot of t
