It's so cold out there

According to any calendar, autumn has just started, but I still feel like the weather doesn’t really understand what it should be like. In my opinion, it is behaving in a very special way, not really normal one. I think this season of the year should be a colourful, slow and smooth transformation into winter. Every day we have to leave our cozy beds and go out. However, instead of being amazed by the (still) warmth afternoons and stunning colours of the trees, there is nothing pleasant waiting for us outside – only some freezing mornings, heavy rain and horrible wind. I think this year winter is playing tricks on us. It is going to come sooner.

So proud!

Yesterday we celebrated the biggest Polish national holiday – The Independence Day. However, it wasn’t just another celebration, because it was the hundredth anniversary! For this reason, I would like to touch on the matter of manifesting our nationality and being proud of it . I think nowadays it’s so important to remember about people to whom we owe freedom, for example Józef Piłsudski. It’s quite sad that there are still so many of us who don’t hang out Polish flags on that day. Every time I’m in Spain, especially during a national holiday, I notice a lot of flags waving on balconies. I guess in the United States every single house has a flag on July 4 th , Americans always do this and I assume they can’t imagine not to. It should be important to everyone, even more for a country that fought as bitterly for its freedom as Poland and sacrificed millions of lives.

Let it snow!

Source: https://www.biznews.com/briefs/2014/02/25/harsh-weather-tests-optimism-u-s-economy There are two kinds of people – these who like snow and these who hate it. I’m somewhere in the middle of this battle. To me, snow is a nice thing in December, with all those lights, Christmas Trees and other adornments. It looks really magic when combined together. I love these lazy evenings with my decorative candles lighting in the room, a good film and snow outside. Nothing better than moments like this, with a warm blanket, of course! However, if the snow falls in April when it’s absolutely not supposed to, I rather hate it. Moreover, I’m cold almost every day so winter is especially tricky to me as I try to stay warm at home or during classes and snow doesn’t help at all. I hope it will fall at Christmas Eve, though, which isn't now as obvious in Poland as it used to be :)

A nice surprise

My friend told me on Friday that he had two tickets for Lady Pank concert on Saturday and asked me if I wanted to go with him. His colleague couldn’t go and had given him the tickets. I was very happy because it’s a Polish rock band I like listen to sometimes so I agreed immediately. The concert was a special one because of the 35 th anniversary of founding Lady Pank. There were a lot of people, many of which were my parents’ generation which had been growing up with Lady Pank’s songs. Everyone was having fun singing and calpping. However, I can’t understand why people prefer recording the entire concert on their mobiles (what is illegal, by the way) rather than listening, interacting with the band and having a good time. The result is that you can see nothing but people’s phones which is very annoying. All in all, the event was great and I’m really glad I had a chance to listen to the songs I could only hear on the radio before!

Almost perfect
