The weekend has begun!
Hi all,
this is going to be another rather brief entry from me, as I had less than 4 hours of sleep last night, and feel dizzy with tiredness! If I sound incoherent, you'll know why.
As Sophie hasn't posted anything today yet, and my day wasn't too exciting at all, I will try to reply to your comments - at least some of them, anyway.
Marianna, I've noticed that you are a devoted blogger :) Yes, I read some
of the past blogs before I started mine, and I noticed that the teachers here have very different styles sometimes. I agree that it is very useful to read older blogs, because one picks up new words from each of them, or even more importantly - some useful phrases or sayings that add colour to the language. And the reason I can type very fast is I used to work in IT and spend most of my time at the computer...
I just looked at the map to see where Bojnice is and indeed you live within a very short distance of the Fatra mountains... lucky you!
Mahjabeen – I normally tell people that I live in Poznan, which is probably fifth or sixth largest city in Poland – but actually this is not true: I live 20 km away from the town, in a small village called Konarzewo, in a country house. But I go to Poznan on most days, so I feel like a Poznanian :)
As to holiday destinations, most people go either to the seaside (in summer), which is the northern border of Poland, or to the mountains (in summer or winter), which are in the south. As Poland is probably something like 800 km wide, neither trip takes more than a day! There is also a very nice part of Poland in the north-east, called Mazury – „a country of 1000 lakes”. I love it, as it is still relatively wild with beautiful lakes and forests, unfortunately it is rather far from where I live.
Ana Paula, thanks for your words of consolation, my appointment was postponed till next week, though, as there was a power failure at the dentist’s! Picture me, getting up at 7 o’clock in the morning (which to me is like midnight!), swearing and cursing but doing my best to get to Poznan on time – only to find out there is a power failure and I all I can do is go back home...
„To hit the sack”, interesting expression, didn’t know that one! Yes, I too need at least 8 hours of sleep, I normally go to bed about 2 a.m. and get up around 10 in the morning, it’s just that this blog has upset my routine a little ;-)
Cristina, I may sound daft but is Bs As an abbreviation for Buenos Aires? And I’m curious when you say „freezing winters”, does that mean literally freezing, with temperatures below zero? I think with the English metaphorical use of adjectives like „freezing” or „boiling”, an English person might just as well say it’s freezing when it is plus 10 degrees...
... oops, it’s getting late, and I’m so tired I’m starting to see double... I’ll have to finish replying to comments tomorrow. Meanwhile, I hope that you will all have a chance to do something nice and relaxing at the weekend; I am myself planning to go cycling, weather permitting. If I manage to shoot some photos, I’ll post them here as well!

Hi Lukasz! You´re welcome :-). Well, I can imagine how frustrated you were when you arrived in the dentist and there was no power. Moreover, your 'torture session' was postponed to the next week. Oh, you´ll have to wake up early again :-). Anyway, this weekend I going to go to the Star Wars exhibition here in São Paulo. There are more than 200 items used in the six films of the series in exhibition. I´m a huge fan of the Star Wars series and I very excited about it. Have a nice weekend, Ana Paula.
Hi Lukasz! Take it easy lol;). Let me tell u that you are using some very good words in your blogs from which i was not aware before, that means you are increasing my vocabulary good work:). As u have u mentioned about the different places i think u have visited Mazury – „a country of 1000 lakes. Is it true it has more them 1000 lakes wowwww..... i would love to see from my own eyes:). It would add more colour to your blogs if u put few pictures of places where u have visited so far:). Goodluck and bye bye
Hey up Lukasz, short but interesting. Ah, I make out from the time you hit the sack that you are a night owl. Well, I'm a night owl too but not a regular one and even after getting to bed late I'm up early, so in that case you can say I'm both at the same time, a night owl as well as an early bird. As you get up at 10 am I'm a bit curious about knowing your routine at work. Best wishes, Naheed
Hi Lukasz, well, I'm a bit late to say hello to ýou, but I've just found your blog here. I'm not one of those regular blog readers. But I think I'm going to be one because it's so interesting to read about people living in such different countries. And I became aware that I know so little about Poland - although it's a direct neighbour of Germany! So it's very interesting and illuminating to read your posts. You're doing a great job! All the best Carmen
Hi,Lukasz!Since your very first post on this blog,i'm reading what you have written and still writing with a huge interest!I do enjoy all of your narratives.And especially those one about Poland.This is my first posting a comment on this blog,but i will certainly continue my entering and hope you will keep on telling us more about your country-i think there is some similarity between our countries.So wish you luck in your further stories and get some sleep.please:):)Oh and else,i know that no one is having a pleasent time on the dentist's chair,but we need them and no way to avoid our visits,unfortunately:(Ok,i'm looking forward for your next stories:):)
Hi Lukasz, Yes, Bs As is the abbreviation of Buenos Aires. You are right about "freezing" but for us, who are not used to having very low temperatures, 2º C is like freezing :-) I'd like to see pictures of Poland. Hope you can upload some of them. Have a nice weekend. Best wishes, Cristina
Hi, Lukasz! Have a good weekend and try to have a rest! Not let this blog to exhaust you =)) I’m waiting for photos from you =)
