Mrs Brown

I think that my Irish friends have the wickediest sense of humour, and the best accents:

One knows that Winter is comming when seals start swimming upside down

Why the Scottish seal pup is shown upside down I have no idea.
All images from the natural history exposition at the National Museums of Scotland.

Into the void

So I have finally succumbed and just after I got back from my two weeks in Poland, Simon dragged me kicking and screaming (not really but let's say I was reluctant) to exchange my old, wobbly and unreliable mobile into a smart iPhone.

The whole operation was relatively painless (lady sorting my mess out was Polish too), though reminded me strangely about these scenes in a Hollywood movies where a savage is being washed for the very first time by servants but actually likes his/hers new, fresh self before parading in front of the lady fo the mansion.

I have survived 3 generations of Apple's invention but the whole point really was about not surrending into this particular lifestyle where people are stalking each other on Face Book, are obliged to reply to a stranger's email the moment they received it and instead of having a nice chat while they have a relaxing afternoon in the restaurant, they obsessively check their emails under the table or even worse - put their dinky mobile devices on the table straight away after sitting down to their meal with their girlfriends. Who do exactly the same anyway so nobody really minds all that rudeness.

However on the other hand when I watch my children so fearlessly dipping into the technology, being as old as Face Book themselves and not knowing the times before its invention, pros started to overwhelm the cons and here we are. I got the white one. Let the games begin.

I might even now get on Face Book, who knows.

P.S. Actually the picture was taken with Simon's iPhone. In black btw.

P.S.2 A quick message to all the people whe were trying to get in touch on my mobile throughout last several days - my sincere apollogies, the old one died on my last day in Poland and I was not ready with the new phone until this afternoon.

The Zombie Boy no longer

I can only assume that lots of people wonder (me included) how Rick Genest looks like under all these elaborate embellishments. Here is the answer thanks to Dermablend concealer. So? Well, he looks like...Michael Ackerman.

Lots of love, still from Poland where tatoos are considered a taboo and for serial offenders only but where airpilots are the best in the world ( long live and fly captain Tadeusz Wrona!).

The commentary is the most important

After visiting my friends in Krakow I have picked up this gem:

Agata Bozynska and her real voice as an off commentary - unfortunately only for Poles...

Ceremonials

New Florence +The Machine album is coming out on 31st of October. Will it bring me in the goosebumps as her first achievement?
