Sunrise at 4AM, fog at 5AM, back to sun at 5:30AM until around 2PM. Then the gray cloud rolled in covering the sky in a total eclipse and the the rain began. A steady rain, the kind that fills up rivers already swollen from the last month and pushes them up even higher. Sandbags are being filled and laid on the banks of the Warta in the D臋biec area. Reading the "G艂os Wielopolska" this morning I found out that Krasnica and W臋glew are both taking water into the villages now because they are close to the Warta river. Krasnica is the birthplace of great great great great grandfather Wojciech Kazmierczak and his children. It is still far enough away from Golina so as not to endanger it yet.
Back in Pozna艅 we enjoyed the day first with food shopping (152zl;$49) and then the weekly meeting with Zbyszek. The conversation was about the upcoming presidential election and the hope that Kaczynski will not be elected. We both feel it would be a disaster for Poland.
We didn't have the time to go shopping for Joans clothes so tomorrow afternoon that is our plan.
When I was in my 20's and 30's I had very long hair, down past my shoulders, and it was always considered very by the older generation. Now I am the older generation and I think of the hairstyles today as being very strange. One case in point was made today by a young lady at the bus stop in front of our flat. In a side profile, where she was facing to the right, it looked like her head was completely shaved except for a small strand of black hair. When she turned and faced the opposite direction, she had a complete head of very long and black hair down past her shoulders. I couldn't get to my camera fast enough to take those photos but I did manage to get one of her as she was walking away that illustrates what I mean. You should click on the photo to get a better look. VERY STRANGE.
Wsch贸d s艂o艅ca o 4 rano, mg艂a w 5AM, z powrotem na s艂o艅ce na 5:30 rano do oko艂o 2PM. Nast臋pnie zawijane w szary ob艂ok obejmuj膮cy niebo w ca艂kowite za膰mienie i deszcz zacz膮艂. Deszcz, takiej, kt贸ra wype艂nia rzeki ju偶 spuchni臋te od ostatniego miesi膮ca i wrzuca je jeszcze wy偶ej. Worki z piaskiem s膮 wype艂nione i po艂o偶y艂 na brzegu Warty w obszarze D臋biec. Czytania "G艂os Wielopolska" Dzi艣 rano dowiedzia艂em si臋, 偶e Kra艣nica i W臋glew s膮 zar贸wno bior膮c wod臋 do wsi, bo teraz s膮 w pobli偶u rzeki Warty. Kra艣nica jest miejscem urodzenia wielkiego 艣wietne pradziadek Wojciech Ka藕mierczak i jego dzieci. Jest jeszcze daleko od Golina, aby nie zagra偶a膰 jeszcze.
Powr贸t w Poznaniu cieszyli艣my si臋 pierwszy dzie艅 z zakup贸w 偶ywno艣ci (152zl; $ 49), a nast臋pnie w cotygodniowych spotkaniach z Zbyszek. Rozmowa na temat zbli偶aj膮cych si臋 wybor贸w prezydenckich i nadziej臋, 偶e Kaczy艅ski nie b臋dzie wybrany. Oboje czuj膮 by艂oby katastrof膮 dla Polska.
Nie maj膮 czasu na zakupy odzie偶owe Joan wi臋c jutro po po艂udniu, 偶e to nasz plan.
Kiedy by艂em w moim 20-tych i 30-tych mia艂em bardzo d艂ugie w艂osy, w d贸艂 ostatnich moich ramionach, i to by艂o zawsze za bardzo przez starsze pokolenie. Teraz jestem starszego pokolenia i my艣l臋 o fryzury dzisiaj za bardzo dziwne. Jednym z przyk艂ad贸w podano dzi艣 przez panny na przystanku naprzeciwko naszego mieszkania. W profilu strony, gdzie by艂a to prawa strona, to wygl膮da艂o jej g艂owa by艂a ca艂kowicie ogolony, z wyj膮tkiem niewielkiej cz臋艣ci czarnych w艂os贸w. Kiedy odwr贸ci艂 si臋 i stan膮艂 przed odwrotnym kierunku, mia艂a pe艂ne w艂osy bardzo d艂ugie i czarne w d贸艂 przesz艂o艣ci ramionami. Nie mog艂em dosta膰 si臋 do mojego aparatu wystarczaj膮co szybko, aby podj膮膰 te zdj臋cia, ale uda艂o si臋 uzyska膰 jeden z jej jak sz艂a dalej, 偶e pokazuje co mi chodzi. Nale偶y klikn膮膰 na zdj臋cie, aby lepiej wygl膮da膰. Bardzo dziwne.
