Yes, I'm so happy, 2013!

Since we haven't heard from Bill in the Forum for a while it's good to hear he's in good form, Anthony.

[Anthony Darby]

Yes. He has an amazing number of plants, but not the best time of year to visit.

I've heard that in the past few days there has been a run on stocks related to chocolate.  Seems the Czechs are at fault as they predict a big run on the commodity with days, even hours.  Whatever are they thinking?

[Anthony Darby]

I'll drink to that John.

Expect a severe fine, John! Payable in chocolate of course!
Good news for us is that we're staying in a hotel/residence in Prague which has Wifi access and the iPad is actually able to connect!
Now to do some exploring of the city before heading down to Tabor!
cheers

Ah, the Czechs are in the post.

Ah, the Czechs are in the post.

These days it's easier to hide a Hungarian than cash a cheque eh?

[fermi de Sousa]

While we've been away we've been checking the weather reports for home and today it's finally started raining!
Not sure how things have been going with the dry conditions so far; hopefully the bulbs will now get a move on and get to flowering in their normal time.
cheers

Fantastic video Martin.

Today I saw my first baby frog in the garden - it has taken nearly 9 years but they have finally arrived.

Thanks Martin you posted the video before I heard this morning on the radio that it has gone viral so I thought I better check it out.

Brilliant - I suppose they've got to have something to do up there….

Ground Control has welcomed Astronaut Chris Hadfield back to earth today (Kazakhstan) and he now is on his way to Houston, Texas.  With the release of his video Major Tom (by David Bowie), the Commander has become an internet sensation!   We Canadians are impressed with his space teachings to students by Skype interaction and by his videos while at the space station for six months.

[Anthony Darby]

Superb.

Love it!
