I am installing a new Sat Nav app, as my new truck does not have one built in. I am not sure if I should trust it tho, last time I checked Monaco was not British Islands. And neither was San Marino on Iberian Peninsula.
As my regular Polish language podcast is on summer holidays, I am reuploading my old English language podcast You Are Not So Great, Britain. In this podcast my friend Elisa and I tackle popular myths about how great Britain is. Today's chapter discusses British housing market:

I am seeing more and more posts in places like Reddit from British people wanting to move to Poland and struggling to get a job. Oh, how the tables have turned. But I didn't want to talk about it but about why I don't predict many of them to be too succesfull. Why? Here is a thread for you:

I just saw some Polish Russian shill on Facebook, ranting that if Ukraine won't stop attacking Russian refineries and warehouses, Russia will react, so they better stop. I wonder what he thinks Russia is going to do? Invade Ukraine? Bomb residential areas of Kiyv or some maternity hospital again?
I have been away for few weeks. My cat seems to be surprised to see me home :D
I've been on the road all over Europe for more than 6 months now and I can honestly say Polish roadside services are in the top three, along with facilities on the paid French motorways and Finland I think.
British HGV drivers: look and weep. This is how motorway parking (a smaller one, with no garage or restaurants) should look like: The showers are clean, water is hotz and they are free to use. Greetings from Poland :)

According to my friend who lives on the outskirts of Lublin, Poland, two objects hit the ground in Poland this morning: one near Turobin, second near Bychawa. They had an air raid alarm at 3:50 am
There was also an air raid alarm in Lublin in early hours.
I am prepared to say now that Russia DID fire a missile at Poland. This is near Targowisko village, in Zakrzew community, south of Lublin, in eastern Poland. Residents heard the explosion, houses and windows shook and a big crater is apparently being guarded. #RussiaIsATerroristState
