I woke this morning at 06:30 but decided to go back to sleep. My mobile phone which I'm actually using now woke me at five to nine with a text message 'walking the dog at 09:00'. I texted back to make it 09:30 and showered but thought I'll have breakfast when I get back - big mistake. The speedway grand prix is on at the stadium (Marketou Stadion if you're czech) and there were a collection of beautiful and expnsive bikes parked outside. I thought I'd just have time to take a single photo of them. It doesn't matter what country they are from bikers are a band of brothers this lot were from Poland. They insisted I sat on a Harley and had my photo taken. I knew if I tried to make off on the Harley there were two BMWs there that would have easily caught me so I climbed off. Then they insisted we had a little drink to celebrate meeting. A little drink was a cardboard cup filled wwith neat vodka. Bear in mind I had come out without breakfast so it just burned all the way down into my stomach but it did give a rather gratifying glow within seconds. I escaped from them and met Klarka with ASh. The rockchick and Martin invited me to their barbecue at their garden. Unfortunately we didn't get around to eating until three so I was not enjoying the beer on top of the vodka until I had something to eat. We grilled more mackerel that Milan, Rockchick's father had brought back from Norway. H took over the barbecue fire no chaarcoal chunks used all wood from the garden. It was absolutely super. Then over to Jiri and Eva's for another barbecue and to meet Zena. Rockchick and Ash left early knowing I would go back with Jiri in the Mercedes. The beer was non stop and I also was given a 'doggybag' with two mackerel, two wurst and a some plum cakes. The speedway grandprix endeed with a very noisy and very spectacular firework display.
