O.K., I take back my words… Yesterday, I saw another elderly happy couple holding hands. It was not the same one, I am positive.
Clearly it’s the weather, or maybe it’s the place. Living opposite a huge grave yard one is daily reminded that life, indeed, is short and you should enjoy it while it lasts. Be happy, fall in love, eat another cookie, that kind of thing. Could be.
I was blessed with a garden here in Poznan. The flat my friend and I are renting is peculiar, extremely expensive heating makes it extremely cold in winter, something is forever in the need of fixing, our landlords are happy to deprive us of out refrigerator for a weekend, but one huge plus, which makes all the inconveniences disappear, is the garden.
On regular basis invaded by the landlords’ children who tend to be somewhat loud, on days like today, when the lady is visiting her friends and the ‘lord’ enjoys himself in Argentina, the garden is ours. We spent the entire morning sitting in the sunshine and swinging (we are also blessed with a huge swing), reading our assignments- lovely!
