"Mind your language"

I guess almost everyone has seen this great sitcom. There was a time that I was watching it for a few weeks. That was the first time that I watched a series without subtitles and sometimes I had no idea what was going on, but I couldn't keep from laughing.

Note: I'm a little confused as to the time frame you are referring to - is this sitcom something you watched in the past or are watching currently in the present? You use both past and present forms, so I am not sure. And what is the sitcom, if I may ask?

Bicycle Trip

I really like to ride my bicycle. Sometimes I ride my bicycle to work. The problems with our roads are known around the world. In our city, these problems are large. We don't have bicycle lanes. The air is dirty and dusty. But my friends and I still go riding all the same

My friends and I had read about an arboretum near our city. We decided to ride to it over the weekend. We had to wake up very early. When I opened my eyes I saw that the weather was rainy. I wanted to keep sleeping, but my phone was ringing. All three of my friends were ready to ride. "Oh, shoot!," I thought, and I got out of bed.

We hoped that the rain would stop. The forecast showed sunny weather by midday. But the rain got heavier. My friends didn't want to deviate from our plan. We were only moving forward.

We met a horse in the forest and took many pictures with it. The horse was hungry, so we gave it our breakfast.

We didn't look at the map, because we didn't know that our route would be long. The distance was 52 km. That's 32.3 miles. I saw many trees and bushes from Europe, North, and South America. I got to know the names of many new trees. There was a nameplate on one tree that said "loh silver". Nobody recognized this plant, but the tradition is to take a photograph at this place. Everybody took a picture with this nameplate)
We found a lake in the forest with ducks. There were many mushrooms. I decided to ride to the arboretum, so that we could see the "golden autum".

When we came back home we was very dirty and dripping wet, but very happy! We were like soldiers who were ambushed. Our faces and clothes were covered with dirt.

My grandfather

Out Of my grandparents, only my mother's father is alive. He's 92 years old. He lives at my aunt's house in a the village Bila near my home town. He's a decrepit old man and hardly walks. He is on cloud nine when members of the family look in on him. That usually it happens on the holidays, like Christmas or Easter, when families get together. Today me and my mother decided to go visit him. My mother cooked vareniki, bought a tin of beer in a grocery store, and we went to him.

When my grandfather saw me, the tears came to his eyes, and he started to cuddle me. My mother took out the gifts, but he declined to eat or drink, telling us he had just had breakfast. He said that he doesn't need any gifts, and he only wants us to come more often. We sat down and talked about the news in our lives. He told us that my cousin and her husband had left before we came. I called her, but she couldn't speak much as she had some people over. When I talked with my grandfather, he often repeated that what he most wants is that all is ok with me and my mother. He regretted that I had left the nest and work so far away. He said he prays that I get happily married. The parting was difficult. I love him.

Ivan: very very good :)
