Yes, I use Irish Kerrygold butter to make my son's sandwiches. It is always soft even after taking it out of the fridge. How do you do it? Do you add any oil to it?

It must have been much later, coarsely ground coffee was for coffee machines with a filter. Finely ground coffee in electric coffee grinders would not be suitable for filters because it would clog them.

Sometimes when I go for a kebab in Leipzig, I get a small glass of very strong Turkish tea from a samovar for free, which is practically constantly boiling. This is the only black tea I drink with sugar. There is no such kebab in Poland.

I'm trying, unfortunately my two female cousins died shortly after 50, our close friend a Polish priest in Germany shortly after 60. Moreover, in the news so many young people are now dying ... scary to think. Good thing Corona is over. Back to the topic, we celebrated in a small group. The kids will come next week. I'm not going to do anything at work.....Hmm, this is where I actually have a question, would you celebrate 60 at work?

I thought for 60 you had to invite at least 60 guests and drink for three days. To be clear, I had a glass of champagne with my wife.

Suffering often seems to be a way of life, and this applies not only to Poles, but also to, for example, Jews.

Life / 60th birthday in Poland [38]
I'm not going to get depressed over this. I also do not want to set my life anew, as I have already written, no new children because late-born children lose their parents when they need them most. I will also no longer drive on highways 200/kmh as I did as a 30-year-old, only 130 on the cruise control as befits a serious person. The most important change is that a man after 60 does not have to prove many things to himself. Yes, it gives a lot of psychological comfort. No, I don't want to be 30 again, but I don't want to be 80 either.
My dad is in his early 60s, and seems quite depressed about this fact.

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [440]
I have been wondering for a long time why Ukraine was so fiercely defending one little-known city of Bakhmut. I was just as surprised why the Russians so persistently want to conquer this city. I understood it only when I found out that they call this city Artemovsk. And then I remembered that the largest European producer of sparkling wines is located in Artemovsk, not only that, he also uses the Krymsekt brand. And finally, in the cellars of this plant there were 5 million bottles of champagne wine, some very old and expensive. Well, it's clear now, it was worth fighting for.
