Summer?

 97 F yesterday, 91 F today. Looks like Sumer arrived a few days early.

Fortunately, with a cross breeze in our flat and the drapes closed on the south window in the living room, our flat doesn't reach those temperatures. 

I sent out the information to my relatives about the digital archive of our 19 years living in Poland. If they want it, I just need their secure email address, and I will send it to them with the password to open it. I used Proton with a password, and it was confirmed and opened. Now I can return to my Spanish studies at last. 

An unusual parade took place today. The traditional Pineapple Cult Parade is one of the most iconic events taking place during the Pyrkon Fantasy Festival at the Poznań International Fair. This colorful and humorous procession attracts participants dressed as pineapples or carrying the fruit in their hands.

"The legendary Pyrkon tradition returns for the ninth time. As every year, we'll meet next at St. Mark's Square at Pyrkon on Saturday at 5:00 PM, under the Spire. Bring your pineapples and let's take Pyrkon with us," the organizers announced. 

 There’s a lot going on.

 Workshops, concerts, cooking demonstrations, the Sobótka Parade, and performances inspired by Midsummer Night—these are the highlights of “Świętowianki,” which will take place on June 20 and 21 along the Warta River. The event is divided into four themed zones: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.

The program includes, among other things, a regional produce market, workshops, nature walks, wreath-making, concerts, and the Saturday Midsummer Parade. There will also be cooking demonstrations featuring Karol Okrasa and Paweł Ludek, as well as an evening show inspired by Midsummer traditions.
All events are free of charge.Source-epoznan
