As you might know I am not a native English speaker, I am Czech :) (apologies for all the mistakes I make), and the thing about the czech language is that we don't have any articles like a,a,the. Nope. We just don't. So when a czech person is trying to learn English suddenly they have to learn concept and wrap their head about something that they just don't know from their language. As you can guess, therefore we czechs just love the articles:

(especial apologies for all my mistakes with articles, it's one big guessing game for us and usually I just try to wing it :D (pun intended))

Anyway today I had an English lesson and we were discussing the difference between 'a/an', 'the', 'THE', and '-' and look who we had in the exercise! :)

The others in the group did not understand my excitement :( :D.

Dunno how to put it properly into words but lately I find myself thinking more about that particular innocence of fairy tales, for lack of better word. Where a traveller in the middle of a field comes across an old woman with a scythe who is very clearly Death, but he treats her as any other auntie from the village. Or meeting a strange green-skinned man by the lake and sharing your loaf of bread with him when he asks because even though he's clearly not human, your mother's last words before you left home were to be kind to everyone. Where the old man in the forest rewards you for your help with nothing but a dove feather, and when you accept even such a seemingly useless reward with gratitude, on your way home you learn that it's turned to solid gold. Where supernatural beings never harm a person directly and every action against humans is a test of character, and every supernatural punishment is the result of a person bringing on their own demise through their own actions they could have avoided had they changed their ways. Where the hero wins for no other reason than that they were a good person. I don't have the braincells to describe this better right now but I wish modern fairy tales did this more instead of trying to be fantasy action movies.

The fact that in Czech we legit say “the knife in my pocket is opening” when encoutering behavior we hate or find super annoying is something so memey

Clock...

So, just a quick intro for non-czech ppl, in 2010 they told us that there will be a new clock built in my city's (Brno) main square.

We got this:

it is a big black... clock. :D Since that was not "funny" enough it also gives glass balls, one each day at 11.

Apparently it can also tell time but nobody I know knows how.

Yes. There are many jokes.

Anyway, today I was at the Brno Pride Parade! :) ❤ and I saw this:
