I’ve been interested in shipping containers used for other purposes since seeing a programme called ‘guerilla homes’ shown on BBC 3, I think in 2004. I am interested in green roofs after being emailed a flyer about the concept a few years ago. I’ve been going on at people about green roofs for some time now as they are a great solution - moving biodiversity upwards rather than out of our cities. After watching a programme called ‘Its not easy being green’ where I saw an item where they made a water wheel using a generator attached, I followed some leads to find a generator supplier, who was also a wind turbine manufacturer Read the rest of this entry »

So, spent part of yesterday learning Blender, and part celebrating the birthday of lovely lisa. It’s not been the most productive week, really. Just goes to show that drinking alcohol does me no good at all. Did, however, find this site - a design inspiration blog. Some really great ideas!
This morning I’ve started an email to a Czech person from Vlceves and sorted out the hotel for Mum & Phil’s visit. Phoned the lawyer in Prague & he’s not in till Tuesday, so still don’t have a progress report from him.

It’s exciting & frustrating. If I had a model of bog people could really see what it could achieve. But the process of learning how to use Blender myself!

Ahoj Jano.

Thanks for your email.
Co studovat? Mate rada Praha? je drahy, ze ano?
What are you studying? Do you like Prague? it’s expensive, isn’t it?
Je legrace, ze ano, lidi od krajina mysli velke mesto je lepsi, a lidi od mesto
prefere krajina!
It’s funny, isn’t it, people from the countryside think it’s better in the city,
and people in the city prefer the countryside.
Doufam, ze koupit starou oranjovy skoda, a mozne je dobry v krajina.
I hope to buy an old orange skoda, and maybe it’ll be okay in the countryside.
Praha jenom 80 km, a Tabor je 10km. Ale je dlouha na kolo! A je tezky po starobni.
Prague is only 80 km away and Tabor is 10 km. But it’s far on a bicycle. But it’s difficult for old people.
