Last week

Gorgeous weather today, too bad it wasn’t like that for Easter, I missed taking my annual sisterly walk.
My sisters and I do it every year after breakfast on Easter. We take a long stroll around the fields and forest that surround my parents’ farm. We walk, we talk, we admire the first signs of spring, we complain about pollution and the occasional rubbish scattered on the ground, and most importantly we burn the extra calories from ‘the breakfast feast.’
This time, the windy and cold weather stood in our way. Pity! Watching telly or surfing the net all day was not nearly as enjoyable…
Today, however, the weather simply begs one to get out and enjoy a walk about.
Today, also, I am in Poznan and too busy with working on my thesis to get out. Nonetheless, I got a taste of the pleasant temperature and sunshine when I went to college.
On my way to the tram stop I walked behind a couple- they were holding hands and chatting, obviously deeply in love, only they were about 70 years old! Why should it be so surprising? Surely, people their age can be in love.
Only I’ve never seen such a couple before in my life.
A nice change, made me smile and dream about a better life…
