Shocker.

A little shocking at the store today for food shopping...(177 PLN $45). We didn't buy anything unusual or out of the ordinary, just the normal menu for the week. Food prices have taken a jump this week, especially in the fruit department. Yes, we bought 2 large bottles of water but that was only 7 PLN but even the price of chicken was higher.

The morning was spent filling out the new form for Joan's renewal permit. It was only 8 pages compared to 12 in the 1st form so there were fewer documents required, actually only 3. Tomorrow morning we will submit them when she is having her fingerprints taken at 10:15. The new application fee was 50 PLN.

The next election in Poland will be on Sunday, October 13th. I think they have the right idea making the election day on the weekend instead of on a workday. It will be a Parliamentary election. All 460 members of the Sejm and 100 senators will be elected. There is no doubt that PiS candidates will be the most victorious The vast majority of people in Poland support them and only 3 cities are in opposition. Opposing parties have little chance of winning.

Troch臋 szokuj膮ce dzi艣 w sklepie dla zakup贸w spo偶ywczych ... (177 45 PLN). Nie kupili艣my niczego niezwyk艂ego ani niezwyk艂ego, tylko normalne menu na tydzie艅. Ceny 偶ywno艣ci wzros艂y w tym tygodniu, szczeg贸lnie w dziale owoc贸w. Tak, kupili艣my 2 du偶e butelki wody, ale to tylko 7 z艂, ale nawet cena kurczaka by艂a wy偶sza.

Ranek sp臋dzi艂 wype艂niaj膮c nowy formularz zezwolenia na odnowienie Joan. By艂o tylko 8 stron w por贸wnaniu z 12 w pierwszej formie, wi臋c wymaganych by艂o mniej dokument贸w, a w艂a艣ciwie tylko 3. Jutro rano prze艣lemy je, gdy b臋dzie mia艂a odciski palc贸w o 10:15. Op艂ata za now膮 aplikacj臋 wynios艂a 50 PLN.

Kolejne wybory w Polsce odb臋d膮 si臋 w niedziel臋 13 pa藕dziernika. My艣l臋, 偶e maj膮 dobry pomys艂 na wybory w weekend zamiast w dzie艅 roboczy. To b臋d膮 wybory parlamentarne. Wszyscy 460 pos艂贸w do Sejmu i 100 senator贸w zostan膮 wybrani. Nie ma w膮tpliwo艣ci, 偶e kandydaci PiS odnios膮 najwi臋ksze zwyci臋stwo. Zdecydowana wi臋kszo艣膰 ludzi w Polsce popiera ich, a tylko 3 miasta s膮 w opozycji. Partie przeciwne maj膮 niewielkie szanse na wygran膮.
