O nákupu rotopedu jsem uvažoval už dlouho a měl jsem jasnou představu o přibližné ceně a parametrech rotopedu. Minulý týden jsem se zastavil v Hervisu a prodavači jsem ukázal který rotoped chci, a že si ho rovnou vezmu. Prodavač mi rozmluvil nákup! Nemám kupovat rotoped, lepší je ergometr, který má lepší nastavení brzdícího systému, cvičení na něm je efektivnější atd.. A hned mi jeden ergometr nabízel. Z původní předpokládané ceny 3999,- jsem měl platit 9999,- Kč. Z nákupu sešlo.
Minulý týden jsem si něco nastudoval o ergometrech a šel jsem pro změnu do Intersportu. Tam jsem narazil na ergometr Energetics CT 350 zlevněný z 8490,- Kč na 6490,- Kč. Na slevu slyším, takže jsem to začal obhlížet. Nebudu to dál rozepisovat, odešel jsem s tímto ergometrem za pěkných 4999,- Kč 😉 … a ještě jsem přikoupil pulsmetr 🙂 Zkušenosti s ergometrem CT 350 určitě napíšeme později, jen co provedeme test. Zátěžová zkouška proběhla hned první den!

Docela zajímavý díl pořadu Na plovárně. Pití malého množství vína je prospěšné zdraví. Infarktů je o 40-60 procent míň, mozkových mrtvic polovina… Prosím, poslechněte si to z úst samotného lékaře!

Nedávno jsme koupili čističku vzduchu. Čistička vzduchu je výborná, když potřebujete vyčistit vzduch od prachových částic a kouře. Čistička však čerstvý vzduch vytvořit nedokáže. Začal jsem hledat, jak si doma vyrobit čerstvý vzduch. Narazil jsem na velmi zajímavou přednášku o tom, jak si doma „vypěstovat“ svůj vlastní čerstvý vzduch.

V přednášce se mluví o třech rostlinách:
Palma Areco (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) – vytváří vzduch ve dne, vhodná do obýváku

Na 1. června bylo v MŠ Tvarožná naplánováno opíkání špekáčků a k té příležitosti mělo každé dítko přinýst polínko. Jenže kdepak vzít u nás polínko, že ? Vydali jsme se tedy navečer na kolech do lesů v okolí mokerské cementárky s tím, že tam prostě budeme jezdit tak dlouho, dokud něco nenajdeme. Naštěstí jsme nemuseli jezdit moc dlouho, u komínů  bylo pokácený dřevo v rázu, tak jsme poblíž poměrně snadno našli vhodné topivo, které se vešlo tatovi do nosiče na lahev. Cesta domů proběhla v klidu a na polní cestě jsme si dali s tatou závody, načež nám oběma ztvrdly nohy. Při průjezdu obcí nás Míša Pospíšilová postříkala vodou z hadice. Po návratu domů nám otevřenými vchodovými dveřmi vlítly do baráku dvě vlaštovky. Chvíli zmateně lítaly v ložnici a pak se usadily na polici na knize od Umberta Eca. Pravděpodobně se jednalo o sečtělé opeřence. Měla jsem trochu strach, aby mně tu knížku strachy neposraly 🙂 Nakonec to promyslely a obývákovým oknem vylétly ven.
