Our tree & Joan's surprise.
After a disappointment with a doctor's cancellation, we decided we had the time to put up our tree. I brought down all te ornaments and tree and we started. To our surprise we only had two lines of lights for the tree instead of the normal three so I had to make to Carrefour to buy another line of 100 lights, cost 11.99 zl. Next to those lights were the LED lights that we have been thinking about switching to but last year they cost 89 zl. Way to much! However, this year they are selling them for 25 zl so I bought one line with the intention to just check and see if they stay lit the whole time during the season. Once we had the normal three lines on the tree it still had some bare spots so we decided to add the LED ones. They are definitely different in the way the shine. In the pictures it's fairly easy to distinguish between the old lights and the LED lights.
Earlier in the day as I was doin aa little research on Joan's father I was pleasantly surprised to find a website that had a picture of his tombstone. Joan has never seen it and didn't know where he was buried. I was able to find that information out for her. It was a nice surprise for her.
Po rozczarowaniu spowodowanym odwo艂aniem wizyty u lekarza zdecydowali艣my, 偶e mamy czas, aby ubra膰 choink臋. Znios艂em wszystkie ozdoby i choink臋 i zacz臋li艣my j膮 rozstawia膰. Ku naszemu zaskoczeniu mieli艣my tylko 2 艂a艅cuchy lampek na choince zamiast jak zwykle trzech, wi臋c musia艂em skoczy膰 do Carrefour, aby kupi膰 kolejny ze 100. lampkami, kt贸ry kosztowa艂 11,99 z艂. Obok tych lampek by艂y diody LED, o kt贸rych my艣leli艣my w zesz艂ym roku, aby zast膮pi膰 nimi lampki, ale kosztowa艂y 89 z艂. Du偶o za du偶o! Jednak w tym roku sprzedawane s膮 po 25 z艂 wi臋c kupi艂em jeden sznur z zamiarem, aby po prostu sprawdzi膰 i zobaczy膰, czy b臋dzie si臋 pali膰 przez ca艂y czas trwania 艢wi膮t i po nich. Kiedy ju偶 powiesili艣my lampki na choince, zdecydowali艣my si臋 doda膰 do nich lampki LED. One zdecydowanie r贸偶ni膮 si臋 pod wzgl臋dem 艣wiat艂a. Na zdj臋ciach do艣膰 艂atwe rozr贸偶ni膰 mi臋dzy lampkami a 艣wiate艂kami LED.
Wcze艣niej tego dnia, podczas poszukiwa艅 informacji na temat ojca Joan, by艂em mile zaskoczony, kiedy znalaz艂em stron臋 internetow膮, na kt贸rej by艂o zdj臋cie jego nagrobka. Joan nigdy tego nie widzia艂a i nie wiedzia艂a, gdzie on zosta艂 pochowany. Uda艂o mi si臋 znale藕膰 dla niej t臋 informacj臋. To by艂a mi艂a niespodzianka.
