6th December - Santa Day

Today we have Santa Day - gifts day.

Still I don't understand why we have Santa Day and X-mas day in this same month. But I consider that this is matter of economy: end of Year so we must have something for wasting our money. Maybe this is weird but I still believe in Santa :D even if I found my letters to Santa in my grandpa desk. I'm not very gift person. I'm not waiting for gifts from others. If somebody is giving me something this is really pleasant specially when this is not expected and I'm really grateful.

I'm not mad at my bro that he gave me this year kitchen gloves and icecream from Häagen-Dazs for Santa Day. He is doing so many things for me whole year that even plain chocolate or even one candy is gift enough. Well new kitchen gloves are needed and I really like to eat this kind of icecream. I heard that it is very good. So I'm really happy from this gift. He wanted batteries ;D for Santa Day, because this is practical gift ;D. Year ago he gave me light bulb ;D. So I bought him nice batteries, plus boxers and chocolate :)

Why I'm believing in Santa?

In past week I was thinking about something small for my co-workers. I was in mall looking for some nice little things and not expensive. And I don't know why I did this I just go to Douglas Perfumery. I was there maybe once. And I saw soaps which can be nice knick-knack. Small thing for less than 1 Euro on Sale. Strangely number of these soaps was equal to number of my co-workers. I taked all. Lady at checkout counter said that she can pack each one in very pretty box with red bow. So I said: Yes! At the end this gift was looking like some very classy-Paris-Hilton-like + She gave me little perfumes... And girls at work were mad-crazy today. :)

So maybe this was impuls or maybe this was Santa who gave me possibility to cheer others :) or maybe up there somebody likes me :) because I bought something for me too. For long time I was thinking about something for me at X-mas day. That's why I'm not expecting material gifts from others, I just buying them If I have possibility. I went to Empik - large bookstore and I saw THIS!!!

Pack of 4 DVDs! Cranford and Return to Cranford! for 99,99zł. Separately they costing 70,00zł each. I opened only one ;D Because the other is for X-mas ;D

My new books :)

One about polish weddings by Hanna Szymanderska. Not my fav but price on sale was very good -70% ;D and at last I know why we can't take marriage in may. This is from Rome where in May were Lemuralia. More read HERE. And it stays to this day.

The second one is about herbs.

The Nonesuch (Niezwykły dżentelmen) by Georgette Heyer in... Harlequin edition ? :|

Unfinished tales by Tolkien in pocketbook edition. :)

The last one is "Dodssynden" by Margit Sandemo. Polish title: "The Mortal Sin" from One of Sagas: The Legend of the Ice People. More HERE. I red something about 15 volumes of this, but this one is my fav. It has form that this one can be read separately without much knowlage about other parts. And has much more relations with 17c literature. This is tale about Cecylia and Alexander.

Some days ago I saw for the first time reindeers. Funny furry animals.

Just sitting and resting and eating polish apples :) There are very sweet and crispy. Champion. Polish apples maybe are not so big, but really tasty.

Not big fan of Flo Rida, but there is Etta James wonderful voice! ;D

Flo Rida - Good Feeling

Kofola Country Welcome To!

This is my blog, this is not blog only about Richard. Sorry Dude! I really like You! But I can't posting only about You. ;D

Today I was on really nice trip to Kofola Country! Czech Republic. Weather was great not so warm, but sunny.

As I was posting in may: "She was alternative in '60 to "imperial" CocaCola and Pepsi. She is made from special Kofo Sirup and honestly IMHO this is the best drink on the World!" This was probably the only reason to go there.

But this time I discovered another great drink. Chocolate water Korunni HERE This water is like chocolate. It is in sale since Feb 1st. 2011. Taste is amazing! IS really rich and not sour at the end.

There were some snacks for Bilbo's Party after killing Smaug. E-free.

And of course there were some sources of fun. But not for me now.

We were on some nice trip through Masarykovy sady this is some kind of garden in Cieszyn.
Who was Masaryk? Well He was like Oliver Cromwell for Britain and like Józef Piłsudski for Poland. HERE on Wikipedia You can read more. On this street are many beautiful buildings, and this is really nice place to seat and rest.
The Parish and Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.




And this is the oldest building in Cesky Tesin

And this is Orginal from UK in Czech. Not to buy in my country in ordinary shop.

Thanks to MrTommy91 for this vid

I saw some Gaskell books in Czech: Cranford (Cranfordské dámy) and Cranford, well I should say this same book. But no North & South.

Cranford DVD premiere in Poland, April 7th 2011 and not only

At last in my country we have DVD premiere for Cranford (2007) by Simon Curtis. April 7th 2011 ...at last...

In my country it has translation of the title: Panie z Cranford - Women from Cranford. But is much better than Kontra for Strike Back.

I have in plans to buy it next month :) And watch it already. Here is scan from Empik Magazine. "Tom' Kultury" nr 7(97)/2011 (6-19 April 2011). Well Empik is big store with books, DVD, games and other things..something like Amazon.

Here is something for You. Maybe some of them You saw before.

Some promos HERE and HERE.

Month before (March 3rd 2011) DVD premiere had other wonderful series: Jane Eyre (2006) by Susanna White with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens. Maybe month later I'll be ready to buy it :) Well Jane Eyre is one of my fav books...I have something about.... 6-7 different editions of this book. And I'm totaly in love with adaptation from 1997 with Samantha Morton and Ciaran Hinds.
After reading Jane Eyre and Villette by Charlotte Brontë I'm seriously thinking of becoming a Protestant.
I wasn't watching this new (2011) with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender yet. Can't wait to see it :)

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MR FASSBENDER! 

 In August 26th 2010 we had Premiere of Emma (2009) by Jim O'Hanlon with Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller and Miss Austen Regrets (2008) by Jeremy Lovering with Olivia Williams as Jane Austen.

We are still waiting for book by Elizabeth Gaskell: North & South ...since 2009 ? First date of premiere ...in this year (because were some of them before).... was February 14th. And nothing new. No book.

I wonder what premiere movie from BBC will be in Empik next month :) We are still waiting for next episodes of Robin Hood.
