unfortunately, I made the curry sauce a tad too thin to spread on toast for breakfast, works though

Nothing changes... The Polish Catholic Church and the Authorities have been covering up for paedophile priests for decades & decades, it was particularly rife during the time of Pope John Paul II #Poland #Polska #PastorBonus #CodeofCanonLaw #PaedophilePriests #JasnaGóra

Oh! Well done to this person on Allegro who is importing Guinness Zero straight from Ireland: allegro.pl/produkt/piwo... not sure of the legality of it, but good luck to them they also import McDonnell's Curry Sauce, bit pricey but... #GuinnessZero #McDonnellsCurry #Poland #Polska

Autumn is truly upon us time to get the warmer bike clothes out of the closet & to begin my annual search for a pair of reflective / bright coloured winter gloves that actually fit me... instead of wearing builder's gloves with another pair underneath ...wide hands short fingers! #MotoSky #Gloves

I had to go to a pharmacy for something that in the village would cost a small fortune so I went to the city ...and took 'the long way' [excerpts from the journey down the old main road, no longer used by traffic ...for now! in the next post, the return, less sun] /1 #MotoSky #OldPolishRoads

After speaking to locals I believe this snake was a Żmija zygzakowata aka Adder (Vipera berus) A few years ago there was quite the plague of them (...news to me!) and signs were put up in forests where they had been seen #Snake #Nathair #Wąż #Poland #Polska #Adder #NathairNimhe #Żmijazygzakowata

Visited a very big reservoir on my travels today Reservoirs are important recreational facilities in Poland, you can't swim in many, but people buy plots of land around them to use as summer homes either with a caravan or some very odd constructions... #MotoSky #PolishReservoirs #Poland #JMZrides

The new headlamp gets significantly brighter when I rev the engine I suppose this means the alternator/stator is working but does it highlight any other problem? #MotoSky #Headlamp

New headlamp on haven't put the W5W bulb in, I need to find a 1 to 2 connector as it shares the supply with the main bulb Old one one in the collage, held on with a very odd bracket that also holds my indicators in place The new one is a revelation, I can now ride at night! #MotoSky #HeadLamp

JMZ @jmzed.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Thanks Jeff I've found some very useful rubber stuff that came with a pedal bike What is actually more frustrating is the two sizes of Allen key I have to use on the bracket!

JMZ @jmzed.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
#MotoSky Advice please!! I've been sent the wrong size mount for the headlamp, it is far too big Would it work to pack it with thick rubber? ( @jeffodysseus01.bsky.social ) #MotoSky #HeadLamp #HeadLight

How long do you wait? Never seen a queue like this at a rural level crossing People already turning round when I got there I waited a while then spoke to the old fella in the red car at the front ...15 minutes he'd been waiting! I was off... #MotoSky #LevelCrossings #Poland #Polska

I was wrong... apparently this new road, once a track, will be a relief road for the village & Cemetery road / Cmentarna during Wszystkich Świętych / All Saints' Day & Zaduszki / All Souls' Day to avoid the normal traffic chaos There will be a one-way system in operation ...good luck with that!
