Thursday was specially special this week. My Potato Point son arrived in Warsaw on Wednesday – wearing board shorts. His visit was something I’d never have predicted: leaving the surf in summer? Not a chance I would’ve said.
He did have warmer clothes with him, which he put on for the walk down to preschool in -7° sunshine.
This post is linked to Paula’s Thursday’s Special where the theme is Wintery. If you feel the need to chill have a look at other contributions here.

Oh, he must be so cold! I remember returning from Oz one December (and Broken Hill at that) and the change from 40 degrees to -7 degrees. Nearly finished me off as I managed to contract Hong Kong flu en route. Dreadful shock! I am glad to see he has brought some winter woollies with him. And this would be a fab entry for Paula’s Thursday Special today. Wintery.

I was just thinking that yo could link to Paula’s post and Jude got there first. But you could do many wintry posts couldn’t you? I must say I like the light that snow brings 🙂

So good to see him there with you. He looks a little like an alien, but in a good way 🙂 I bet the twins are impressed. Love that shot 🙂 🙂 Have fun!

He is alien! Last night he whizzed along the street for dinner – in his board shorts. But oh how good it is to have him here, even if he did offer me a long list of home maintenance awaiting me. Happy hugs to you. Are you fully healthy?

I must have been half asleep when I saw this post, because I didn’t register that your son was with you, and I only saw the first photo. I think I’m losing the plot!

You have a perfect grip on the plot. I expanded and reposted this this morning after a rush job yesterday – just the photo and no words. Always distrust me before yourself!

🙂 It looks wonderful with the snow. I am amazed how many English men still wear short trousers and only T-shirts when the temperature falls to 0°. Brrrrrrr ….

When he left Australia it was 30+ Heathrow gave him pause and his first act on Polish soil was to add tracksuit pants.

Hahaha such an Aussie. Was his visiting a surprise?

Initially he wasn’t going to tell us, but word got out. I’d probably have had a heart attack if he’d just knocked on the door. A huge surprise that he left home in summer for a Polish winter. I hope the snowboarding in Zakopane compensates – and of course his family. My grand daughter is in the air from Dubai now.

Thank you. Now my granddaughter, child of my other son, is here too! Enough snow for sledding, which I don’t dare and everyone else loves.

I googled Zakopane and it looks gorgeous, a little reminiscent of Austrian alpine scenery though the houses are a different style. I hope it lives up to expectations and that the whole family has a ball.
