Here is the rose found in the street and taken home yesterday.

I'm back home from Wlodzimierz Sedlak Library in Kamienna and dashing to click in here the fascinating facts about Skarzysko past. I heard them from dear Mrs Danuta Żyła who holds a treasury of information on top of doing the librarian job and performing many other educational duties.
Today I learnt from Mrs Żyła why a street on the way to Rejów is called Multanka. That was a big surprise to me! She told me that Prince Radziwiłł brought a group of Turkish prisoners of war and made them settle in that area. Those days the river Dniestr marked the border between Christian Poland and Muslim controlled Multany (part of today's Ukraine, Moldova and Romania), hence an expression 'to go to the Multany side' was used. The knowledgeable librarian also mentioned that at the cemetery in the district of Zachodnie, there is a part where those who died of cholera were buried in the 18th century. The victims of the same disease which attacked again during WWI are also buried at Zachodnie. As always I was amazed to learn how much my hostess has to tell about the history of this little town and how many people are still around who witnessed various more and less significant events.
More news from the library soon!

I thought you might like to read the Guardian article on email etiquette. Well, never thought someone might find ending an email so complicated. An amusing read, don't you think?

A few next pictures are from a second hand furniture shop near the railway bridge. They import them from Germany and England.
Here I had tea with fresh mint leaves, just as I like it!
