Back In London

I spent last weekend in Poland. I caught an early flight to Lodz on Friday morning. The weather was beautiful! Sunny and warm, +19 degrees Celsius!!! I was shocked!

My mom and her partner picked me up from the airport. It was very nice outside so we decided to go for a walk and had an early lunch at a small restaurant that specializes in making delicious pierogi (a Polish word for dumplings). We then went to see a solicitor (my main reason for going to Poland) and visited Slawek's parents'.

Saturday was very busy. Even though the weather was horrible (it was raining all day and it was only +10 degrees Celsius), Saturday was quiet busy. First, we went to visit my grandpa's grave, did a bit of shopping. Then we went to see my brother's daughters and spend few hours with them. I also managed to see few of my friends. We went to The Lizard King Pub, had a few delicious cocktails and pints of beers, talked, laughed and listened to rock'n'roll music that was played live. We had a good time. It is a shame I could not stay a bit longer. Maybe next time...

I am back in London now and, even though the weather sucks big time, I have been really happy and cheerful since I have got back.

A Short Visit

Due to the circumstances not entirely depending on me, I am going to spend the following weekend in Poland. Although the reason why I have to go there is not something that makes me happy or something that I would want to share with the rest of the world, I must say I am looking forward to my little trip. Hey, my friends, here I come!!! The Lizard and rock (and roll) await! :))

It's Almost Weekend

It is almost weekend and I have no idea how I will spend it...

Firstly, I have been as sick as a dog for the past 2 days and, unfortunately, I am not getting any better... Secondly, Slawek has gone off to Poland today and will be back on Tuesday night... I am all alone...

I have the whole weekend to myself and myself only... So let's think... I am going to uni tomorrow. I will have a very interesting lecture on multiculturalism, identity politics and cultural differences. I will probably spend some time in a library researching the above and looking for resources that would help me to prepare for a next week's lecture.

I will have to go shopping... I need to buy presents for Slawek's and Alex's oncoming birthdays. I am also planning on visiting my friend, Justyna, on Saturday but it will depend on how I will have felt. I will spend a couple of hours drinking cocktails while chatting with Pati on Skype. And I will spend hours being out with Angie...

That is my plan for the weekend... :)
