Scattered Strawberry Summer

   It's bank holiday Monday and the weather was rather decent - how unusual!
   OK it was cloudy, but it was hot enough to wear shorts,so good enough for me.

I also went to town get the last few bits for my trip to Germany and I got myself a book to read during the flight. I have seen the show that was based on it and I loved it. It was only 2 quid at The Works

Just one day to go and I'm off! When I'm back, I have quite a few things to do, I will go to London a couple times for meetings and training, I was asked to take pictures again, possibly all day, not sure, haven't been given much information on it.Also, I was put forward by my manager to get involved in a project which might be quite interesting, not sure yet what exactly it entails. Lots of things happening at work, changes ahead, some positive, some less so, we'll just wait and see how it will affect us.

     Bonus: totally irrelevant funny picture:

Another message from Mr Cumberbatch.

I really wander how many people are aware of what's happening? It doesn't seem to be covered much in the media and I only know about this because I'm on reddit where it's widely discussed. So much  respect for Benedict for bringing attention to this, celebrities usually avoid making strong political points for fear of loosing some of their fans.

 I'm very disappointed with UK government, how is it different from any other fascist government? They cannot pretend  anymore that we live in a democratic country with free media.

Yes, that's how my typical weeks feels like. It's been quite tough past few weeks at work, a few people are off, our workload has increased massively. On positive side... Only three days till I'm off for 10 days!!.  I will go to Germany to visit my family, this time I will take my SO with me. I hope for a good weather so I am able to relax in my parents' garden or in the park nearby.

If I am going to Germany this often, maybe I should learn German. Or maybe I'll just wait till my little cousins' English improve.

Spoilers!!!

Hello my chums. Remember the time I said I took pictures at a small local event? Well, my picture was used on the front of quarterly newsletter that will be distributed to 1200 local households! 

 Not sure, if it's Benedict himself, though it sure looks like him, doesn't matter, the message gives media and people something to think about

My So recently developed interest in Richard Dawkins's work. We've watched so many of his debates  and interviews. These can be rather entertaining but sometimes just infuriating (E.G. Wendy Wright's interview).

We're having a prank war in office going.So in the picture you can see what we did to our colleagues desk as a revenge a while ago. Nicolas Cage everywhere you can think off, we printed hundreds of pictures, smaller and bigger. Nobody got it, but found it funny anyway. It's my colleagues turn, I'm waiting. waiting.

We truly live in a very nice area, South Downs just a few kilometers away from my house

I went to Brighton to do some shopping today. I only found out about Gay Pride after I bought the tickets and decided to go anyway. The train was full of 16 year olds, girls with skimpy outfits, boys talking loud and trying to be alpha male, god that was painful. The streets were crowded, I even had a glimpse of parade but I wasn't really interested in it, I've seen it before. On the flip side, the shops were deserted, except Primark of course, so it was a more pleasant experience than usual. I was disappointed with lack of summer sales, I only  bought  2 pairs of smart trousers.

Once I got back home by practically empty train, I  met my friend to have late lunch and ice cream on the beach. We laid down and chatted enjoying lovely sunshine. It was very relaxing afternoon and I enjoyed it very much. Except the pizza, it was disappointing. Also, tt the restaurant Italian waiter thought we were Greek,hah. My friend explained that she's Spanish and I'm Lithuanian. He couldn't believe I am Lithuanian and not from some Southern European country. We laugh it off, as usual, not the first time, went off to get ice cream, also Italian guy served us, thought I was Spanish. Dear oh dear. If only I'd learn to speak Spanish fluently and I could actually to play these kind of situations. That would be quite fun.
