A Red Squirrel at Work


 Near our place in Warsaw, a red/brown squirrel on the ground doing its autumn business:

Burying nuts and other bits of food for the winter months ahead, I guess.

Catching up with Faxe (Refreshing Danish Beer)


To be honest, this was the first time I'd drunk Faxe in the white can for 20 years or so.

And I'm not sure if I've ever drunk Faxe Pilsner (the green can) ever before:

But both beers went down an absolute treat, being neither bitter nor sweet, something profoundly in between, both really refreshing drinks.

Autumn in the Dark


This yellow-leaf tree in the dark seemed to symbolise the growing onset of autumn for me.

Despite the beautifully coloured trees, autumn is flu season, of course.

Kalandra: Highlight of the Weekend

No surprises here, Kalandra at the Hybrydy Klub (in Warsaw on Friday evening) was always going to be my highlight of the weekend.

Saw Kalandra late last year at the Hydrozagadka in Warsaw and they blew me away, so I had to catch them again.

Find many of the Kalandra tunes hauntingly beautiful, such as Ensom, Borders, It Gets Easier, and, of course, Helvegen (Wardruna cover).

I was also lucky to get to the Kalandra gig on Friday as I'm just starting to get over a few weeks of really bad flu.

Really do think that Kalandra are the world's greatest kept secret, they really are a fantastic band.

Kotek Making Himself Comfortable

A nice shot of Kotek making himself comfortable on an empty cat litter bag:


 Cats like to have a knap whenever they can, of course.
