The remains of Summer...

The September's weather is baffling... feels just like Summer. By now, if we were lucky, we should have had a nice Indian Summer! That is - pleasant chilly mornings and evenings, misty sunrises, sunny days etc. We have tropical nights instead.- Today we shall have well over +30C. My dogs are spread wide on cool marble floors from the early morning. I consider joining them there. Well, I might just collapse on the lawn in a shade under the trees.-

Yesterday, despite the adverse weather conditions, I experimented in the kitchen. I cooked goose wings in a plum and honey souse. I used the very sour, little yellow plums. Heavenly! I shall cook it again on a certain boat hopping the Greek islands in not too distant future!

Tonight a friend from Australia arrives. I am thinking about a couple of little trips in Poland - maybe to the sea side (taking my boys with us, of course!) and to Zakopane, near Krakow. I might even travel with her to Bratislava as Doreen has some relatives there and wants to visit them.

THE BLOND ON A TRIKKE!

No doubt you've noticed that the quality of my video clip is rather poor... It was filmed using a telephone - can't expect much, can you? However, the guy who sold the contraption to me noticed ALL the mistakes I made in assembling it! There wasn't much to put together but I managed to do EVERYTHING in reverse! I think it's a special talent one should be proud of! I put it down to my "mirror vision" and being ambidextrous... (not knowing my right from my left?- definition of ambidextrous...)
I think that Tomasz is simply amazing to be able to tell where I went wrong from that fuzzy image. So as soon as he noticed the outcome of my handy work he rung me on my mobile (catching me on a down-hill) and told me to start assembling the TRIKKE again! This time I got it right.
Now the weather is playing up a little - the rains are stopping me from raging on the streets of Lublin. But the next week promises the return of Summer.-

HUMANITARIAN AID...

... for all the tax-return forms fillers...




...a tummy filler!
