Robert Cray is nice Blues, maybe she doesn't like the heavier stuff.

I've sort of answered this on the main music thread so as to keep this one for Polish music.

Life / Polish Music. [318]

standard Blues from,Andrzej Zaucha.

I really don't like Gary Moore and this has too much of a Gary Moore vibe for me.

This is something a bit different from Trio.

The album is called Trio. The band are called Hard Times. Same band as in your last track. I particularly liked their last track.

More from Mrozu:

Aura:



Pablo E:

Life / Polish women who made amazing careers against patriarchal society [128]

This mean by overcoming men and their alleged hostility toward women.

In my opinion it means being successful in predominantly male fields. Not an easy feat for women trying to fit into such roles. For example, in the case of Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz, who I linked to in post #107, a Danish fisherman tried to persuade her to abort her trip to Scotland.

He said," Who wants to sail in such a little boat to the North Sea? And also, you're all women. Go back home, it's well enough that you've made it in one piece to Skagen."

It's insulting, especially given that she was a naval engineer too and very capable of servicing her own yacht. Women throughout history have had to put up with this crap when they have proven time and again that they can be successful in male dominated professions.

BTW, if you could, please don't turn this thread into the usual trolling crap. I posted about Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz because I'm trying to revive an interesting thread.

Life / Polish women who made amazing careers against patriarchal society [128]

Another amazing Polish woman, Krystyna Chojnowska-Liskiewicz. She was the first woman to sail around the world solo and she completed this amazing feat in 1978 after a two year journey starting in the Canary Isles and finishing near the Cape Verde Isles. Her husband custom-designed and oversaw the construction of her yacht, the Mazurek. She was also a naval engineer.

Journalist Paulina Reiter has written a book about her entitled Samotne Oceany ( The Lonely Ocean ) which was published in 2023. It's available on Amazon for those who might be interested in reading about her life.

In the meantime here's an article about her:

Off-Topic / What's your hobby? [191]

What does that mean?

A plant/flower that is 'leggy' means that it has a really long stem with just a few leaves at the top. It would look a bit straggly. Might need pruning or placing in a better position for light. Depending on the plant, you might need to stake it for support.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]

They are a bit blurred so it's hard to see detail.

Does A) have a couple of seed pods in the photo? I thought at first the long curved thing was a piece of bone but I don't think it is now. The whole thing reminds me a bit of potpourri.

B) looks a bit like some kind of fossil but I'm sure it's not.....

They do look nice. Zrazy is my favourite dish, these come second.

They had a very old Hercules by the entrance that you could visit.

Cool!

Where I grew up was close to an RAF base and they had an old Spitfire there. It was used in the 1967 film 'The Battle of Britain'.

One is double, i.e. small planes escort the large one

I would go with that. I thought for a moment that it was two planes as it looks like two sets of contrails but they're too close together to be separate aircraft.

what kind of airplanes those are and why are they flying in a group?

Military aircraft? If it is then I'm guessing they fly in groups for combat and situational awareness. Also for protecting each other from enemy fire, planes are safer when flying together.

it's not a meteor shower or falling Starlink satellites, but something that isn't unusual to see that clearly in the day :)

Now you've disappointed me Paulina! With your interest in astronomy I was expecting something a bit.......cosmic maybe ;)

It can't be contrails from aircraft, can it?

what is this?:

My guess is that it's either a meteor shower or falling Starlink satellites. Having said that it's unusual to see such things that clearly in the day....

You couldn't see the damage, because in my first post the firefighters were blocking the view on the passenger side

Yeah, if I'd seen the damage to start with that would've been my first guess. Good riddle :)
