The Gardens

 For months I've wanted to buy a new cutting board. Mine is too small and keeping whatever I'm cutting up on it, I saw some at Carrefour so last night I measured the space available on my countertop.  

Joan and I went there to take a closer look at what they had. Unfortunately, they didn't measure up to my standard. Years ago when we had our woodworking busines, I used to make and sell them.

I remembered seeing them in Leroy Merlin. The nearest one was on the opposite side of Poznan so we drove there, Like a few other big stores, it was renovated since the last time we were there. They no longer had cutting boards. I ended up at Carrefour and bought a board.

It was such a nice day that I took Joan to the botanical gardens to see the rose bushes in bloom as well as the other flowers. Of course, I took many pictures using my phone.

I, unfortunately, had to block a few people on Facebook that I have known for some years in the U.S. They are dedicated Trumpers and I can't understand why any American would vote him in as President. It is beyond my comprehension.

Od miesi臋cy chcia艂em kupi膰 now膮 desk臋 do krojenia. Moja jest za ma艂a i nie mie艣ci si臋 na niej to, co kroj臋. Zobaczy艂em kilka w Carrefourze, wi臋c wczoraj wieczorem zmierzy艂em dost臋pn膮 przestrze艅 na blacie w kuchni.  Poszli艣my tam z Joan, 偶eby przyjrze膰 si臋 bli偶ej temu, co maj膮. 

Niestety, nie spe艂nia艂y moich oczekiwa艅. Lata temu, kiedy mieli艣my nasz膮 firm臋 stolarsk膮, robi艂em  i sprzedawa艂em deskido krojenia. 

Pami臋ta艂em, 偶e widzia艂em je w Leroy Merlin. Najbli偶szy by艂 po przeciwnej stronie Poznania, wi臋c tam pojechali艣my. Podobnie do kilku innych du偶ych sklep贸w i ten zosta艂 odnowiony od ostatniego razu, kiedy tam byli艣my. Nie mieli ju偶 desek do krojenia. 

Wr贸ci艂em do Carrefour i kupi艂em desk臋. By艂 taki 艂adny dzie艅, 偶e zabra艂em Joan do ogrodu botanicznego, aby zobaczy膰 kwitn膮ce krzewy r贸偶, a tak偶e inne kwiaty. Oczywi艣cie zrobi艂em wiele zdj臋膰 u偶ywaj膮c aparatu w telefonie. 

Niestety, musia艂em zablokowa膰 na Facebooku kilka os贸b, kt贸re znam od kilku lat w USA. S膮 oddanymi zwolennikami Trumpa i nie mog臋 zrozumie膰, dlaczego jakikolwiek Amerykanin mia艂by g艂osowa膰 na niego, jako prezydenta. To dla mnie niepoj臋te.
