Beautiful Night-Time Sky

 
A beautiful night-time sky from outside a restaurant in Eastern Poland.
 
A great aesthetic moment.

A Late Yield from the Orchard

Happy to say that we attained a decent late August/early September yield of not only apples:

But also pears from the orchard:

 

Which all resulted in the apple (plus pear) pie, of course:


 Let's hope there's another decent yield, next year.

Agnes Obel - Warsaw Progresja (2nd September 2025)

 Managed to catch Agnes Obel on the second of her three-night stint at the Progresja during the week:


 Found every moment of the 90-minute set absolutely amazing.

 

It'd been about 14 years since I'd last seen Agnes Obel at the Palladium in Warsaw, so it was more than the right time to catch up with her.


 Loved every song in the set, especially Fuel to Fire, On Powdered Ground, Riverside, and what seemed to be a wonderfully melodic new song.


 So glad that I caught up with Agnes Obel again.

Agnes and her great band taking well-earned praise at the end of the show:

Good Food and Drink in the Gazebo

Some of the good food that I had in the gazebo in Eastern Poland, starting with pierogi ruskie (cheese and potato dumplings) and cabbage leaves filled with mushrooms and buckwheat:


 Diced melon which is really refreshing while working in the garden:

A mint-flavoured, lemon drink:


And of course, apple pie and yoghurt:
