  • All day brunch

    While walking through town today I felt a sudden desire for English sausages. I was getting quite hungry as I fasted for 40 hours straight (yes, I have been doing intermittent fasting again and not only I finally lost weight but also I don’t have to watch my portion sizes when I eat). I was…

  • Funeral

    So, on the morning of 31st of October, me and John drove 3.5h up north for his mum funeral. It was the first time I took part in the funeral in the UK and it seemed very different from the ceremony in Poland. John’s dad wasn’t taking things very well and I felt very sorry…

  • My prospective lodger and some thoughts on being assertive

    This is a situation that happened to me recently and it’s so priceless that I decided to put it on the blog regardless. So, there is that woman I met around a month ago, she’s a few years older than me and also Polish. We, Polish, often say that we need to be extra careful…
