Tuesday 26th April 2022<\/p>\n

I was touring in the old Eastern Bloc, including Austria. As you know, Anthony Mottram, ‘consultant’ of Prague, single-handedly, along with many other Gays, re-built the bloc after communism. The big worry was flooring. The parquet in AM’s museum apartment in Prague is agony. Ideally it shouldn’t be used. The tycoon owner oils it \u00a0himself. It was restored and matched as old ladies in neighbouring apartments passed to the beyond and then their walls were beaten down and their former rooms \u00a0absorbed into the main tycoon museum sweep. But we dined out each night and the first day lunched out as well, at the Ukraine Briefing Lunch given by the Prague Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

Is there any worse decor worry than that your floor might be spoiled? I feel the same about my kitchen floor, which is distressed but with massive art. The wear of years I love. But bits chipping off is awful. I keep a little pot of diluted paint in a Georgian cupboard to apply to these chipped off bits. \u00a0Every three months another layer of varnish is given to the whole floor.<\/p>\n

In Prague you can wander through history. In the Old Town Square is the scene of the Defenestration of Prague, then a few blocks away is the theatre where Don Giovanni was premiered, while at the top of Wenceslas Square is the plaque marking the spot where Jan Palach self-immolated in 1968.<\/p>\n

All this arc of history has now arrived at floor-worry in Anthony Mottram’s museum apartment, the freedom to experience floor-worry and it’s all been worth it.<\/p>\n
