Surgeon's Mate

It's been a while since I read that book. And another one passed in between this and the previous one - so I felt a real hunger for some sea adventures. 

I must say I was not disappointed - even though the most of the adventures had taken place on shore this time. 

You might thin that it is Aubrey that plays the first fiddle in the Patrick O'Brian's series. Well - he plays violin. I've read only six books (out of twenty - I guess) and so far it is Maturin that counts. Surprisingly to his movie's appearance - he is not that weak and he's skilled not only in healing. There is a lot of secrets hidden behind his pale face. 

This time Maturin and Aubrey sailed to the Baltic Sea with a secret and very important mission. There were no warm picturesques as this is a rather cold area. On their way back they run out of luck...

It is enough to say they were imprisoned in Paris. At this point I won't tell You how did the story end. Sea ... I mean See it for Yourselves and feel the thrills while reading it. I know I felt...

by the way... If You happen to know Polish there's a friendly site on that book.

keep warm and good night

Maybe it's Time to Wake Up?

I've been hibernating for a longer while by now. Maybe it is just the right time to wake up? But I'm too Auld... I don't want to...

I'd rather sleep...

Maybe a book would work - maybe I could read one or two...

It's a weird dream and I feel like Im kicking the blanket off and am getting colder.

Maybe I should wake up?

Patience being Rewarded

It's been about nineteen years since the last Indiana Jones. Only ten since I have seen it for a first time. It had a great influence - that is for sure - on my future decisions. Some of them were wrong but nevertheless I was running after my dreams... and catching some too.

Today there's another Indiana - and I am going to see it. After all that time of patience the child in me might get its reward and see what happened next.

And I'm on my personal crusade chasing the setting sun and trying to turn it into a rising one.

Who knows what might have happened today...

I don't

The Greener Shade of Green

An old folk truth says: the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. The funny part is that once You move to the other side it usually stays the same, but the other side (the one You came from) is starting to bloom and get the greens. So the truth remains true.

Last Year I thought: Hey - how about changing a job? It shouldn't get worse than it already is. Coincidentally my job thought the same. So we changed each other. I changed it for a better paid one, and my job changed me for a couple of new workers.
It turned out that the grass was greener for me. For a quite a long time. But now some other sides appeared. And of course they are greener.
Or is it because after the winter my present side became gray...er?

Changes... changes appear, coz changes need to be noticed... and they need to be done..
