What a poetry librarian does on her day off in Prague . . .

. . . we went swimming, and also recorded some more sounds for our Prague podcast. Yes, we know we haven’t put up our Germany podcast yet, but we’re working on it, and in the meantime, we are still recording sounds around the city, which just happens to be Prague at the moment. Or rather, a forest and lake cum stream we went swimming in today. After a 10km hike I might add. And mosquito bites. And a snake sighting. So . . . here is the sound of a Czech train arriving to pick us up and take us back to Prague.

We also have a bit of an obsession with train announcers and conductors, as you might be able to tell from listening to our poem Destination, over in the sidebar there somewhere, so following on from this theme, we recorded the Czech arrivals and departures announcement, which we think kinda has a poetry twang to it.

We also took some pictures out and about in Prague yesterday and on our hike today. Which also happened to enable us to indulge in a spot of illegal flyposting. Hurray!

We found a full dandelion head in the forest. We are wondering if this means time has stopped for us entirely?

We illegally flypost a tree next to the stream we swam in. We think this might really confuse the load of Czech locals who swim here a lot.

Not sure why this girl is chained up. Or why she is a bit Gollum-shaped.
