It almost feels like our life stopped - at least from the posting point of view. It took me over two months to get my act together and post. I guess our new or actually old lifestyle kicked in. The corporate job deprives you of everything except some money.
Last year I read at least 20 books. Nowadays I cannot concentrate enough to be able to finish the second book. Last year we used to go out - nowadays we come back home and think only about going back to sleep to recover energy for yet another day. Last year we were faced with amazing landscapes and sights every day. Nowadays I see the same things on Discovery Channel TV from time to time...In other words I get all those things in a transformed easy to digest McDonald's sort of way, through some media instead of living them.
All this just makes me think that our decision to travel last year was probably the best decision we have ever made in our lives!!! Check it out - travel around the world for a year and then turn on Discovery. See how it feels :)
I must say that the fact that one needs to work at least eight hours per day is kind of totally out of balance in comparison to what one gets out of it. I think that working five hours per day would suit me perfectly. I would feel that I have a life. It is amazing that the whole world is fine with giving up their almost entire life to work. Especially that we probably live only ones. I hope that the next step in development of socities will be to give people more free time to enjoy themselves...
I guess that even our camera got upset with the fact that we do not use it and broke...
Anyway it ain't that bad - we still travel every other week somewhere or we get visitors to Szczecin - Berlin is amazing for the weekend and London anytime. Rita's cousing gave us a great excuse to go there. As hoped our kid will have a playmate :)

nothing to add ;-)Hope your are fine!
When I read these words, I was thinking the exact same thing. It's Sat afternoon. I'm in the lab. Why?????
But I also read this,"our child will have a playmate"
And nothing could make me happier than to think about what that means.
All the best

Hey Tomek, just going through your blog - retrospectively finding this one. Thanks, the excuse is rather good, I agree (:-)) but I can't say you really are taking advantage of our generosity. Not that I have a right to complain... but just wish we would see each other more. Well, playmate is growing, anyway, and I'm already planning the next opportunity to introduce them to each other! :-)
