No turkey.

OK, no luck finding a turkey today at the store so we'll replace it with a chicken. Not quite the same but what can you do. It will still be a big meal and we'll be thinking about the best President we had in our lifetime, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I can't believe it will be 49 years on that day that he was assassinated. Almost half a century..................makes me feel a little old.

We did the food shopping for the week, 124zl($42) and then returned home, put the groceries away and went to Kandulski's for our weekly meeting with Zbyszek. Of course, the topic of conversation was the bomb attempt on the Parliament building that was successfully stopped by the secret service. Even so, it seems like the far right is growing in Poland and that's not a good sign.

I had a great conversation via Skype with a new person wanting to practice her English although it was pretty good. It was fun talking with her and she'll help me improve my speaking Polish.

OK, nie ma szcz臋艣cia znalezienie indyka dzisiaj w sklepie wi臋c b臋dziemy wymieni膰 go na kurczaka. Nie do ko艅ca to samo, ale co mo偶na zrobi膰. To nadal b臋dzie du偶y posi艂ek i b臋dziemy my艣le膰 o najlepszej prezesa mieli艣my w naszym 偶yciu, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Nie wierz臋, 偶e to b臋dzie 49 lat w tym dniu, 偶e zosta艂 zamordowany. Prawie p贸艂 wieku .................. czuj臋 troch臋 za stary.

Zrobili艣my zakupy 偶ywno艣ci na tydzie艅, 124zl ($ 42), a potem wr贸ci艂i艣my do domu, po艂贸偶 si臋 i zakupy poszed艂i艣my do Kandulski dla naszego tygodniowego spotkania z Zbyszekiem. Oczywi艣cie, tematem rozmowy by艂a pr贸ba bombowy na budynek parlamentu, kt贸ry zosta艂 pomy艣lnie zatrzymany przez s艂u偶by. Mimo to, wydaje si臋, 偶e skrajna prawica ro艣nie w Polsce, i to nie jest dobry znak.

I 艣wietnie rozmow臋 przez Skype z nowej osoby, kt贸rzy chc膮 wykonywa膰 sw贸j angielski, chocia偶 by艂 ca艂kiem dobry. To by艂o zabawne, rozmawia z ni膮, a ona pomo偶e mi poprawi膰 m贸j m贸wi膮cy po polsku.
