Rememberx2 the first of September

The first of September has always marked new beginnings within my field of signifiers and signified. The oldest September first I was taught about is the start of World War 2.

The coolest place in Warsaw

What you’re about to see is way beyond coolness. It’s a PRL design aficionado’s paradise and just the perfect spot if you want to grab an iced coffee and chill in the shade for a bit. In front of you there’s parked cars and a road, but beyond that there’s the very big Park SkaryszewskiContinue reading “The coolest place in Warsaw”

Greetings from Warsaw; (not) the greatest tragedy

Pardon me for not providing any pictures, but I have a very good excuse. My phone got soaked on Sunday afternoon (maybe it was tired of the sun, everyone wants a cold water dip on a hot summer day) and since 10pm on that day it’s been non-functioning.

Week 7 of online learning. The last one in Edinburgh

Is it too early to call it a week? I believe not. Today (Sunday) does not seem to be particularly eventful, so I might as well sit down and relay to you what happened in the last seven days. This week went extraordinarily well. It was bound to, with the kickstart of a thorough clean-upContinue reading “Week 7 of online learning. The last one in Edinburgh”
