Life here's been swell. Handed in the thesis, did very well at HW and will be continuing on with a PhD in about another month or so. Me and Sharon have been living together here at our Dalry road flat since September and all's been well. :-)
One little hitch in the past couple months was being jumped by 6 guys here in Edinburgh. Had a friend here from Mississauga and another friend from the Czech Republic here when it happened. Needless to say it was not a fair fight. Anyhow we're all well, just a few cuts, scrapes and bruises.
Since I last left a message here I've been to the Czech Republic (Prague, Cesky Krumlov, Dacice, Trebon, Telc and Mokra-Horakov), Slovakia (Poprad and Kosice) and went down to Bournemouth (in Devon, so south English coast) to visit some of Sharon's family too. So despite being out of school and not working at the moment I have been up to stuff. I'm also taking a wood carving class, which I have to say is definitely a lot of fun; I'm making a duck. :-)
I'll post pics from the trips below. Videos will get uploaded a little later, maybe with luck today.
Alrighty, I will now find pictures to share. Ok... blogger refused my pics there. I will try a video from Lomnicky stit in Poprad, Slovakia. (stit means peak in Slovak, we were on Lomnicky mountain, and later the peak.)
Delicious Slovak hot chocolate. No, not a rarity at a lovely mountain resort but rather the Slovak version of a drink I don't often have. Very thick, like Magic Moments TM chocolate pudding heated to 45C. Have a look.
Ooooo, you know those road-side Jesus temple thingies you see on Quebec highways? Even highway 6 has one on the way to Tobermory. Well, not much to our surprise, it seems almost everybody in the Czech and Slovak republics has decided they MUST have AT LEAST one on their property. Here is just one of the several million we must have seen between Cesky Krumlov and Mokra-Horakov.
Ok, gonna try pics again, this time just two. First is a view of Prague Castle (Hrad Cany, pronounced chany) and the second is from Poprad in Slovakia.
Cool, may post more pics from this trip and maybe some from our visit to the New Forest in Dorset later. I have pictures of a wizard. I KNOW you're all excited!
Cool, take care for the moment,
Dave
