štědrý den
Christmas Eve. I didn't buy a live carp for the bathtub this year. I bought two fillets at the supermarket like a coward.
Lucie and Callum called from Edinburgh. We ate "together" on the laptop, they with Scottish salmon, me with the cowardly carp. Callum tried to say Veselé Vánoce and it sounded like a sneeze.
There is an old custom of setting an extra plate at the Christmas table, for an unexpected guest. I laid one for Pavel without thinking, then I took it away, then I put it back as the extra plate. So he's the unexpected guest now.
