@~Christina, I'm sorry you are in so much pain from your fibro. I hope the weather and other conditions improve so you get some relief. I'm sure Steve doesn't mind taking over the morning dog walking duty every so often. Occasionally my husband puts on breakfast for me.

We did go to the expat fair. As with similar things, Hubby immediately disliked it. I let him go outside for a bit, while I wandered around, but there's wasn't much there for me, either.

Right outside was one of the city's main squares with a Saturday market (mostly fruits and veggies). I bought 1 kg (a little over 2 lbs) of fresh strawberries at a great price (90 czk/$4) and also the best-looking Italian flat leaf parsley I've seen to date, in CZ. We also splurged on a gorgeous wreath that was handmade by a lovely young woman. She was there with her fiancé who was selling pomlázka (decorative Easter whips), which along with pus#y willows, are part of the Czech Easter tradition. They were telling us that they would go to Denver, CO for their honeymoon and then drive perhaps as far as Seattle. Nice young couple! We also bought decorated eggs with a specific design from a part of Moravia (in Czech Republic). We'll give the eggs to a friend in the US as a gift. The wreath is now hanging near our entrance door. Easter traditions seem to be a big deal in Czech Republic, even though most Czechs aren't that religious, at all. It's more of a spring celebration, nowadays. Sorry the picture is sideways.
