Reminiscences

To sum up the year 2019, I have chosen two photos: The first one from Fire Island Pines in the USA, and the second one from ... Tunisia. Don't be fooled by the winter arrangement of the photo taken by my cousin Grzegorz with the comment: "a camel sat on a snow glade in a Christmas setting." This ...

Already after ... But this is not the end of the celebration

At Iwo0ka's a summary of holiday events and memories of staying in Tunisia. Suddenly, downstairs (three floors below) a fire brigade with three trucks. We seemed to be in no danger because it looked like a false alarm. The fireplace and two cats of Russian breed created an atmosphere. Something w...

Christmas, Christmas...

Santa has a lot work and he desrves some rest: He came to us a little late and tipsy. He said the chimney was too narrow and a bird blocked his way. We forgave the olld man because he didn't lose his presents. He was just a little whining about politics, because he had to go further, somewhere ...

Well, now we are allowed to go to the stores! Today the church can wait. Families will integrate in shopping ...

Christmas is coming

What should one do after a stay in Tunisia where the food was excellent and plentiful. Although we did not put the plates on full, we gained weight. Unfortunately. So,  before Christmas - the regime. Diet! Mainly fruit and vegetable juices. We'll make it by the holidays! Then Christmas and New Ye...

The NATO in Szczecin

Two months ago I received an invitation by mail: Could I decline the invitation? The procedure of registering for this ceremony was a bit complicated, but that was not the most important thing. As it turned out, at the grandstand I was one of the very few civilians invited to this celebration. ...
