It’s hard to believe we’re already past first half of the year! Ok, not literally, cause there are still 9 more days till the end of this month, but yesterday marked the longest day of the year and from now on the days will slowly get shorter and shorter again, until we reach the shortest day of the year on the 21st of December and so on…

Man! I knew I’d gain some weight when I quit smoking again, but that’s a lot. 9kg in just 4 months. Fact, it also took me 9 months to drop 16kg, so I can do it again when I put my mind to it. The benefits of not smoking greatly outweigh the extra kilograms. Or rather I say this to myself whenever I crave a cigarette. Not that often, but recently a little more often, cause I had a sneaky pack of cigarettes when I was in Poland last week. Dangerous step, but I trust I won’t go back to it. I don’t want to. I’m fatter but freer and I’ll drop those extra kg in no time 😬

I’ll be honest - I wasn’t overjoyed when I realised I need to go Poland yet again this year! It’s 3rd time within half a year and one of the most expensive trips too. Why? Well… I should be so lucky to knock out the crown on my front tooth… for the second time since I have them 😂 I know, I know. I’m probably the most clumsy person in the world 🫡

If hell could open its door wide, right in front of us, I’m not sure if it could serve us a better entrance than the one we had this past week. My head is still spinning, anxiety at peak 24/7 and my thought processes ever so slow…

This year started weird and it seems like it will continue this way. Just before 2023 ended, I was on my long journey back home after spending 3 weeks of my annual leave in Poland. Year 2024 barely started and I’m on the road again… going to Poland 🇵🇱 again… by car too!

Yesterday was a salsa day! Just like many Saturdays, my friend and I got up in the morning and left our city at around 11:30am to get to the salsa party in central London that starts at 2:30pm in YMCA. When it comes to the local evening parties, we like to show up fashionably late for a few reasons. Mainly because the dancefloor is less busy after most of the beginners who came for the classes are gone by then and with a bit of luck we can also find a parking space closer to the venue.
