Did you notice how cold it is in april and may? It may seem that as the days are longer, the temperature gets higher, but this cold wind is really tricky. Nevertheless the season of wearing shorts for jogging is finally here! The great thing about this time of year is that it's perfect for running, it's not to dark in the evening and I can run in shorts which I absolutely love. This feeling of wind and fresh air somewhere around my ankles makes me feel that holidays are coming, even though there's so much to do. Anyway, I can't wait for my little guy (who is getting bigger and bigger every day!) to get all the vaccination and go running with me! There's nothing better than running with a dog, and nothing safer!

Lately I didn't post any new words so it's about time I finally do it.


an action-packed movie - a movie full of action
all-out war - total war
badly-run - badly, inefficiently managed and organised
a close-knit community - a community in which everyone knows each other
far-fatched - unlikely to be true or practical
far-reaching - having a big impact on a large number of people, with effects that will last for a long time
long-winded - sth that continues for too long and is boring as a result
the odds-on favourite - the person, team, etc. that everyone thinks will win in a race, competition, election
to clean forget to do sth - to completely forget

Look at this fluffy little piece of cuteness. There are no words to describe how much I love this little buddy, but I guess everyone who has a dog knows this feeling. My family has always been crazy about german shepherds, since I was born there were four of them in my home.
Five days a week I'm 300km away from this guy and I miss him like crazy. I look at his pictures in the train, in a bus, everywhere. I've been trying to come up with an idea for a post about something concerning studies or sport or books, but lately all I think about is him so I gave up. I try to take a good picture of him to put it on my wall in my room in Poznań, but he's unstoppable, he runs all the time and he bites everything. Dogs are the best, no doubt about that.

You know how little girls cry whenever they listen to Bieber or One Direction? When I was little my friends were crazy about Enrique Inglesias while I was hung up on The Rasmus. 
I don't know what happened to this great band, I don't know if it's me growing up or it's them changing their style into more commercial one but when I was 12 years old I was crazy about them. 
I still listen to their old songs (by "old" I mean first three albums, I'm not talking about their most famous "in the shadows" - they have so many other great songs!).
Anyway, I'm writing about it because I used to listen to them to learn English. They're great to do it because it's a Finnish band singing in English, so it's very easy to understand.  What is more, Lauri Ylönen likes to rap which is even more challenging if you want to sing along, try it out!
