"We only had bread for breakfast, but it was dry, it wasn't, butter was rationed. But the nurses just had butter, so I liked to go and wash the dishes, there was leftover butter. I also used to go and get them a beer, a pint of eight, in a pub near there. I was very much involved there. I remember that, but it was nice. And in those Pyšels, that's all I wanted, there were kids there for a week, for a year. If I could ever be there, I wish I could, in the country, but I can't make it."

"My mother normally drove with a cart and had me in it and grass for the rabbits, and near Roudnice the car hit her - we lived in Vedomice, where I was born - and she never recovered. I don't remember much about that time, I was only five."
