Koncert
Autor Zdeňka Dobešová, dne 18. 4. 2011, v kategorii Aktualitky, Z domova
Dne 6.4.2011 jsem si zase po delším čase zahrála na mladou a vyrazila do Semála na koncert slovenské skupiny Horkýže Slíže. Byli sme skoro v kotli a pařili jak voteklí. Hráli starý pecky, ají písničky z novýho alba, něco sem znala, něco ne. Asi po hodině jsem se již cítila z toho věčnýho skákání a hrození a házení hlavou dost unavená a taky mě přestal poslouchat můj po porodu pokleslý močový měchýř. I vyrazila sem se vyčurat. V zrcadle sem se celkem lekla, protože ta paní měla rozmudlaný oči a pěšinku na opačný straně než normálně. Po návartu z toalety jsem se již držela v zadní části sálu, zlehka podupávala nohou, kývala se do rytmu a tiše si zpívala tak, jak se hodí k mému věku a společenskému postavení. Jednalo se o koncert velmi zdařilý, nebyla jsem tam ani nejstarší ani nejtlustší a druhý den jsem nemohla mluvit.
