You were supposed to think of a girly girl in a flower dress! Lol
Same here.
I generally like slowing down. I feel like a weirdo here in UK and all holidays/ weekends you have to do, do DO. Go abroad, camping or at the minimum - pub.
I like my free time to be spend on doing stuff without rushing. Spend an hour preparing and eating your breakfast, play boardgames or computer games with your loved ones, read a book with a warm cup of tea. Etc.
what you said made me think

but speeding on public roads.......no.

Slower pace to take in beautiful scenery :)

Love / How to make a Polish guy happy? (we're moving to Mexico) [51]
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against marriage. To me personally there is no bigger commitment than kids. Forget vows, all the money in the world but kids... you have to try.
But I also strongly believe going separate ways is the best option in many cases

I wouldn't say it's common. And I meant one cousin that is in a relationship with a guy completely not related. It's my posting while doing chores that's at fault for the misunderstanding.
It's not to me tbh. To me it's the commitment that matters and that is irrespective of marriage.
Is it normal in Poland for cousins to enter relationships?

And my cousins went into a relationship after both of them having different partners, lived together for 18 years with 3 kids before marrying (and that basically for legal reasons with the house) and are still together after over 20 years.
To each their own.

I would say that the main difference between an artist and an illustrator is the level of creativity. Illustrators base the illustrations on the material. Has a base so to speak. Artist requires more own input.

News / Flood in Lower Silesia in Poland - looks catastrophic [94]
Yes. My town was heavily flooded, we were cut off, no water for a bit...All that. Personally I wasn't at any risk as we I lived in one of the highest point of our town
My mom was out of town (her work required her to go to Gliwice once a month to meet with her boss) and someone came in saying 'you better go back quickly, the flood is getting worse and you may not be able to get back'. Shortly after she got back the bridge she needed to cross got flooded.
She came home and said to my dad- go to the shops and buy water as there might be big problems layer on. He went and came back with 4 small bottles😂. He said there wasn't anything left. My mum found some in other store but that was my parents to a t.
Were you living in the area affected by that flood?

It's just incredible!
In 1997 I was a kid so the flood served a bit more like an interesting adventure. We even went for a free camp. I do remember however how many places never reopened after the flood.

From what I read the retention reservoir is holding nicely and should prevent the 1997- like disaster.
it looks like the flood that will hit Wrocław this time will be similar

And Oland doesn't have a lot of it already.
My hometown was heavily flooded in 1997. But thankfully the retention reservoir that was built there ( originally planned by Nazi Germany but built only recently) is doing it's job.
Climatologists say that large parts of the world will have major issues sourcing drinking water in the next decades.
