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 most significant September first to me is definitely the one seven years ago, when I boarded a plane from Gdansk to Leeds thatContinue reading “Rememberx2 the first of September”

Endajune Update
There are things I find hard to believe and things that I can believe very easily. For example, it’s very easy for me to believe we exist among ghosts and other beyond-natural creatures. But I struggle to believe that it’s almost the end of June already and that it’s 30 Celsius degrees outside and weContinue reading “Endajune Update”
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. I took about 4 photos during myContinue reading “Greetings from Warsaw; (not) the greatest tragedy”
Remembering my last week pre-pandemic
It’s been almost a year since all normal activities stopped in Edinburgh because of covid… and I sort of remember the first days when I started cutting out my outings, although I still went out relatively frequently – I went to Tesco once a day to get some fresh vegetables (I remember I was intoContinue reading “Remembering my last week pre-pandemic”
zimno, zimniej, zimnooooo – a quiet day on Philadelphia Boulevard
It was cold, cold, cooooOOOOOold.
Thoughts of week 2
Last week’s key thoughts were on amber and underwater photography. Also, islands.
2020: Summation/Share Your World
So I’ve lately been enjoying blogging for the sake of blogging, and it reminded me of the old good times when I started blogging as – I think – a 9-year-old. The sense of the blogging community was strong to me back in 2007, and I’ve recently felt it again. So in this post I’mContinue reading “2020: Summation/Share Your World”

Exclusive video content for all blog readers because this video is listed as Unlisted on YouTube so you and only you have access to it! If that’s not a reason to watch it then I don’t know what is!

Week 9: Gorgeous Poland
Oh how fabulous it is to live in my room on the 4th floor in our apartment. I’ve got a gorgeous view and the smell of burnt trash and coal makes me feel right at home. Here I can ultimately relax. I started watching Gilmore Girls, they’re absolutely amazing. Other than that I’ve worked onContinue reading “Week 9: Gorgeous Poland”
Week 8: Move to Poland
This week was quite busy but wonderful. I spent a lot of time sorting out everything before flying back to Poland to study from home. I have to say I was quite well organised, and I managed to see everybody I wanted to see before my departure. On Monday I saw my DPD courier (justContinue reading “Week 8: Move to Poland”
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”
