Look at her. What a beautiful, sophisticated woman. It's incredible how much charm she has and how beautifully she speaks. I guess we can all agree that after "Pride and prejudice" it seemed obvious that she'll become a wonderful woman, but this short clip really moved me. I haven't seen many movies with her, I have to catch up. Just listen to her, she's amazing!

This week I decided to visit Toruń. My father had a rally out there and I thought it's a good opportunity to meet him there and see the city. It turned out to be a great idea! I spent two days sunbathing by the river, drinking coffee and sightseeing. I don't really like visiting cities, I prefer seaside and of course, above all, montains. But this time I had a lot of fun, I don't think I've ever been so impressed. The city is charming, there are many people, but it's not too crowdy. All the buildings seem to be harmonised, even though some of them are much older than the others. It's really amazing how beautiful Old City can be. We have one in Szczecin, but it's out blind-spot, if you ever visit Szczecin don't go there, it's much more beautiful by the river. 

Unfortunately weekends are so short, that I had to go back to Szczecin to do something productive. My train to Poznań leaves tommorow at 5 a.m. so I still have some time to catch up with my homework and go for  walk in Szczecin. The weather is so wonderful, it seems silly to stay at home!

Have you heard about "Top Gear" being suspended because of a conflict between Jeremy Clarkson and his producer?

Few years ago I bought Clarkson's book as a present for my father. Since then we read everything he wrote and we laugh so hard it's hard to breathe. What is more, we love "Top Gear". Since BBC Brit channel is available in Poland we watch it whenever I come to Szczecin. Even right now, the moment I'm writing this post, I'm watching it. It's hard to focus beacause I'm laughing all the time, but it's worth it. It's raining outside, it's terribly cold and it really cheers me up.

I know Jeremy Clarkson is a very controversial person. You may find him racist or pretentious but there's one thing you have to admit - this guy is really intelligent. Personnally I prefer James May and I can't imagine Top Gear without Hammond, but without Clarkson this show does not exist.

We'll see what happens to the show in the future. Clarkson is  probably very difficult person to work with and I'm not trying to say that his innocent, but on the other hand I'd love for them to make things work and let us watch new episodes.

If you see me this week at the university (I'm finally back, so there's a chance we'll see each other) and I seem sleepy, or even unconscious, I have an explanation : House of Cards is finally back!
Netflix did a very stupid thing releasing all the episodes at once. I'll probably finish watching them by the end of this week.
I don't watch many tv series, they are very time consuming and addictive and I don't even look for new ones so that I wouldn't be tempted to watch them all day long. Anyway, once my mom was watching HoC on the TV and I couldn't resist. I even organised House of Cards marathon and I watched it all night. So now the time has finally come for the third season and I watch it whenever I can. Many people think it's silly, not realistic and very "American", but I don't care, I watch it anyway.
