Social distancing time

Hiya peeps!

Hope you all keep yourselves safe and in good health.

We all are in the same situation... bit frustrated, not sure next day, hopeful for some solution...

Answers for virus were different in different countries.

Here in the UK we were waiting for a bit for school closures and other procedures...
Lots of people still don't want to understand seriousness of the situation and that is scary.
They think it is just another kind of flu... I have to admit, in some point I thought similar, but changed my mind rather quickly...

Our nearest neigbourhood is full of pensioners, people who are vulnerable for this virus, plus other people after major/serious ops who are in high risk group. We have neighbours who are 'key workers' - carers, NHS workers etc.
Numbers given by NHS re confirmed cases and deaths are growing...

We are worried for our parents... they are over 60 and live in Poland, so... if anything happened to them, we are unable to go there... Borders are kinda closed, cause countries went for lockdown.

As our son is out of school, we are trying our best in homeschooling.


Bit of 'marine' biology plus reading and writing :)


Practicing times tables


Designing boat


Concert hall from Lego

Dom's also drawing, learning French, finding out about English queens and kings, ancient civilizations eg Minoans, helping with laundry, baking and lots and lots of other things including playing and enjoying his own 'me-time'.

We hope we found a balance between learning and playing time to avoid getting bored and give him a chance to learn something new.

He doesn't like all this social distancing idea, but he understand that this is for keeping us and others safe, he's missing school and his friends...

Fingers crossed all will back to normal soon...

Stay safe Friends!

Reading challenge

Hiya peeps!

What a lazy writer me?! Nothing here since... months!

Right... been kinda busy... we can say... Xmas, leak (actually 2 leaks) from bathroom into kitchen, plumbers, electricians, few new jewellery pieces etc etc etc...

My man gave me kindle for Birthday /Xmas. .. so I thought I challenge myself.

I  told myself : 'you think you are bookworm! Right we'll check it! Read 225 books till 31st December 2020 then!'

Kindle gave me chance to back to Thorgal comic books - I enjoyed them as much as when I was late teen (doesn't matter I read them first in Polish :) ) and to check Witcher written by Paul Tobin, actually not bad (I know Sapkowski's serie since years) - it was really interesting to read about Geralt's adventures in English and not novel but comic book.

Also had chance to read books written by girls I 'met' on Twitter :). Defo will read more :). Who? Lizzie Chantree and Vivian Conroy.



Trying to find and read novels by Agatha Christie I had no chance to read before and found out that I love Robin Hobb's writing style.

If you like English history I can recommend Toby Clements and his serie Kingmaker about Wars of the Roses:


At the moment reading last book from this series:


Below few which awaiting my attention hihihihihihi:


Yes, I'm also checking cooking/baking books - you can always find something yummy in them :) plus I'm baking lots of bread lately so anything about breads is highly interested for me :)

Do you read anything good lately?

Write about it in your comments please, so I can add it to my reading list :)

Till next post Friends!!!
