When I was doing the online training, connection went off after the first break and, as the rain stopped, I decided I’m going to see mum. I went there only to find out that visits in all care homes and hospitals in Poland has been suspended. I was allowed to see her very briefly, I left her those two pairs of glasses and a jumper.

I started wondering why I actually came to Poland. I can’t seem to sort anything out and I’m faced with my brother’s drinking problem that I can do nothing about.

After the visit in the care home I went to check if the mini buses to Łódź are still running and it looks like they do. It’s very funny with the small transport operators, the fact that bus is scheduled on the time table doesn’t mean it is going to turn up. It’s very possible that it has been suspended two years ago so what I had to do was to go to the bus stop and wait for it to turn up. Luckily they run every 20 minutes so I didn’t have to wait long.

The government operated buses are a bit better because if they’re scheduled on the time table they’re likely to turn up, but one can’t trust the online time table, it’s very likely 5 years out of date. Why 5 years? Because 5 years ago the company received funds from the EU to go digital. After that no one is going to update anything.

I’m just hoping I’m going to be able to see The Friend on Friday like we planned. I’ll also apply for new passport, that will save me a trip to London. Apart from that I don’t really know what I will be doing, the care home visits are unlikely to be allowed any time soon.
