Skippy's Corner / Skippyin Kútik

Tak ako je to v tej krásnej Plzni? Tom kedysi, tak mravopočestného, panovníkovi oddaného mesta? Noooooo, séria zločinov nikdy nie je vhodná... Hlavne, keď máte odhodlaného vyšetrovateľa kapitána Steina, podporeného seržantom Jarošom a dokonca Maximiliánom Habsburským. 

Ale keď je otázok viac ako odpovedí, podozriví vám pod kolená hádžu čo môžu, morálka sa spláchla dole žumpou a podzemím sa rozlieha hlas vyvolaného diabla... Vtedy sa vyťahujú ťažké kalibre prestrojenia alchymistu Moherlyna a padajú všetky zábrany...

Goodreads update 

Čo sa vlastne deje na COT? A čo to je? Prečo byť či nebyť Toastmaster? O tomto i inom počas celodenného tréningu je moje zamyslenie a pokec... 

A pre tých čo by chceli vedieť viac bratia Česi pripravujú online stretnutie s viac info, prípadne sa stačí pozrieť na stránku Toastmasters Slovakia alebo vypočuť spomínaný podcast ako Nebyť suchárom :)

Thoughts and notes on using notes... Not only in Toastmaters meeting but in meetings in general... Do we really need them? Can it be done without them? And are they so helpful? Let's ponder for a moment about this together...

Resources:

Articles Good notes, How to Deliver a Speech … Without Notes,  Ditch the Notecards and Speaking Without Notes as examples :)

Another 2 short stories from the world of Rivers of London. Short and sweet... as this podcast :) 

Some meetings are well organized and well prepared... and then there are those more improvised :) This was one of them

or let's start the new year with new resolutions and wishes... Plus 2 great speeches, interesting Table Topics, evaluations for everything and newcomer winning TT with a story of how the main character during the search for birthday treasure fell into the well :)

Promised link for YT about River Wandle

Thanks to a very good and kind friend, I spent today's afternoon reminding myself why I do like this series so much :) Not just the fact that it's fantasy, urban fantasy to be precise, but it's as well contemporary, there is a good mystery, great art and colouring and a ton of proper British humour. So in case you think I'm going crazy with the description, it's very possible, excitement probably got some brain cells into override :D

Here is the chronological order of how to read this series and I will try to follow it :) More stories to come... soon, stay tuned
