A new week has begun. Have you accepted Christ (who rose yesterday) as your personal Lord and Savior? For even if you were a jerk or even a criminal your whole life, that acceptance will win you a spot in heaven!
Meanwhile, Easter in Dobrzyn was uneventful, except that Malgorzata, Andrzej, and Hili were visited by a number of Andrzej’s former students, paying homage to the Great Man and bringing their boyfriends/girlfriends for approval. Hili, of course, got a lot of fusses (see below).
And today’s dialogue, says Malgorzata, needs an explanation:
Well, explanation is needed. There is a strange custom in Poland (and some other parts of Eastern Europe) on Easter Monday to drench people with water. It is even described in Wikipedia (in English). Hili urges Cyrus to join in:
Hili: Jump into the water and then go next to them and shake yourself.
Cyrus: This is not a good idea.
In Polish:Hili: Wskocz do wody, a potem się przy nich otrząśnij.
Cyrus: To nie jest dobry pomysł.
I accepted as my savior the first zombie that escaped his tomb on the Friday Jesus died. See here:

Of course, I had my choice of several hundred.
I’m surprised Hili would make such a suggestion. At least it reveals a sense of humor, even if adolescent. I would love to instill Cyrus’s reluctance in my Maggie.
Every dog I’ve had likes to go into the water and squeegie you (walk by you & get you wet by rubbing next to you) or just shake water all over you. That’s what happens when you have water dogs like labs.
You’re supposed to show girls you like them by throwing them, still in their beds, into the river?
Is that what I’ve been doing all worng?
…still not quite sure how that’s supposed to work….

Running around with show girls will get you into deep water. 😎
Deep, hot water….

Nowadays you just pour the water on everyone. Girls on boys, boys on girls, and so on – but, of course, it’s way more civilised than just a decade ago, when there were literally regular wars fought…
Odd. My dog would that is a perfectly wonderful idea.
Is that landscape a dyke? In the Dutch sense. No, that’s still not clear enough. In the sense of “embankment designed to control or manage flood water”.
I’ve seen other landscape photos and all the comments about taking a walk to the river, and had my normal little internal shudder about accommodation built on a “flood plain”. There’s a clue in the name of the geographical feature “flood plain.” Something to do with the plain-like nature of the landscape and their habit of, err, flooding.
I’m sure Anderjz and Mala have taken appropriate precautions – like being on sufficiently high ground. But it is just depressingly tedious to see the number of people who do think that designations like “flood plain” means “this area floods for people who aren’t me”.
Oh, summer is a-coming in. Loud sing flooding complainants.
