Holders.
I had to go out today to buy a present but I was able to do it at 13:00 so the shopping center wasn't crowded. What di you buy for a friend who really doesn't need anything? I decided on these two fake silver candle holders.
Years ago I used to make candles. My favorite were ice cube candles. I used a candle mold, put a thin candle in the middle, surrounded it with ice cubes and poured hot was over them. When the wax solidified, I used a knife to poke holes into the area's where the ice cubes melted and drained out the water. Next, I enlarged the holes. When I lit the thin candle and it started ti burn down, the light reflected out of the enlarged holes. It had a nice effect on the walls of a room at night.
I met Radek again today and he arranged a meeting with another friend, Renata, for next Monday afternoon. I haven't seen her for about a year even though she does not live that far away. She has a successful business and is always busy with work or traveling for work.
I mailed out Christmas to relatives in Poland who don't have email. I hope they get them in time. The last several years I've been sending e-cards. It's faster, cheaper and the selection is good at Jacquie Lawson cards, plus they are animated.
Musia艂em dzisiaj wyj艣膰, 偶eby kupi膰 prezent, ale mog艂em to zrobi膰 o 13:00, 偶eby centrum handlowe nie by艂o zat艂oczone. Co kupujesz dla przyjaciela, kt贸ry naprawd臋 niczego nie potrzebuje? Zdecydowa艂em si臋 na te dwa fa艂szywe srebrne 艣wieczniki.
Wiele lat temu robi艂em 艣wiece. Moimi ulubionymi by艂y 艣wieczki z kostkami lodu. U偶y艂em 艣wiecy, umie艣ci艂em na 艣rodku cienk膮 艣wiec臋, otoczy艂em j膮 kostkami lodu i nala艂em gor膮cej wody. Kiedy wosk si臋 zestali艂, u偶y艂em no偶a, by wy艂upa膰 dziury w miejscu, w kt贸rym kostki lodu stopi艂y si臋 i wyp艂yn臋艂y z wody. Nast臋pnie powi臋kszy艂em dziury. Kiedy zapali艂em cienk膮 艣wiec臋 i zacz臋艂o si臋 pali膰, 艣wiat艂o odbija艂o si臋 od powi臋kszonych dziur. Mia艂 艂adny wp艂yw na 艣ciany pokoju w nocy.
Spotka艂em dzi艣 Radka i um贸wi艂 si臋 z inn膮 przyjaci贸艂k膮, Renat膮, na nast臋pne popo艂udnie w poniedzia艂ek. Nie widzia艂em jej od roku, chocia偶 nie mieszka tak daleko. Ma udane interesy i zawsze jest zaj臋ta prac膮 lub podr贸偶膮 do pracy.
Wys艂a艂em Bo偶e Narodzenie do krewnych w Polsce, kt贸rzy nie maj膮 poczty elektronicznej. Mam nadziej臋, 偶e dostan膮 je na czas. W ci膮gu ostatnich kilku lat wysy艂a艂em e-kartki. Jest szybszy, ta艅szy, a wyb贸r jest dobry na kartach Jacquie Lawson, a ponadto s膮 animowane.
