Friday happiness

Just celebrating the end of the working week :)
I'm pooped and a new job is coming in, so there's more work in perspective for the w/e, but so far it's the end of Friday, hah! I've only slept 2-3 hours last night but I've delivered everything in time.

This evening I've been invited by girl (a girl? she's over 40, I need to grow up fast! but she really is more a girl than a 'lady' to me!!) from my building to chat a bit about different stuff related to neighbors etc. She talks so much and so fast and is so uninterested in hearing what others have to say that I think I'll shorten my visit this time ;) She's nice though, really, and part of the administration of the building, so there's always something 'secret' I can learn about what's going on LOL!

It hasn't snowed since two days but the view is so nice when the sun settles down... Warning: I never said that Warsaw is beautiful. I always tell foreigners to skip the capital when visiting Poland, there are so many gorgeous, interesting towns. But you need to bear in mind that it was almost entirely rebuilt by our Big Brother from the East after the Germans burnt it and bombed it in 99%. Yes, really, 99%. As for the socialist style in architecture... see for yourself. The view I have from my flat is great, though, it was one of the reasons why I bought this flat and not others. The way the light changes during the day, when it rains, snows, I so enjoy the different ways the town looks.

Have you heard about the boy that screamed and killed hundreds of chickens?

No to tez macie snieg, calkiem jak u nas, w Lyonie. Tylko macie zdecydowanie ladniejsze swiatlo wieczorem, o zmierzchu, lub raniutko. Czuje sie, ze to jest polnoc Europy...
Pozdrawiam.

Anna, I found your building on Google Maps - Satellite view! Which car is yours? What floor are you on?

PS: What an interesting view. I keep my windows curtained all the time for privacy. And here in Texas, most of the year we want to keep the sun blocked OUT.

Linda - I am not sure how to describe it better than I did in my email :). If you found the right building, then anyway I don't own a car. I live on the 11th floor or 12th, if you Murcans count the ground floor as 1st. And yes, I do love having noone to look into my windows. I find it hard to adapt in Norway where I have H's mother and uncle on each sides of the house ;-)

Thank you, Pennie :) That's so sweet of you :). I can't imagine living on a lower floor, the view is what I like in this flat. Thanks for your visit!! (by the way, that daschund clip made me laugh loud, two of my dogs did so too! Now Happy only hides food in the garden or under his bed but he can be quite obsessed doing so LOL!
