Back on track

Cześć! Sorry for the tardiness of my posting, I was out yesterday. I was driving and hiking around the sun-kissed (!) slopes of the south Pennines yesterday-- still snow around the tops-- especially up Blackstone Edge (White House pub was aptly named!)

Anyway The Schaf was back in his rightful place yesterday, on Country Tracks. He was talking about moisture coming down from the sea; I certainly have moisture running down my leg watching the following, I hope it's sweat:



Tomasz told us that he could play around with all sorts of parameters for weather fanatics, and his parameters certainly looked impressive on that forecast for the Schaffanatics. His sleeves were tantalising folded back, to give us a cheeky peek of the legendary biceps-- niesamowity. Click on the pictures to magnify

Did anybody else get slightly excited by Tomasz's artistic hand movements towards the end of the forecast? He has technique. Not quite as impressive as his jeans, but nice trouser choice...

Of course a weather forecast from the Divine One, wouldn't be complete without out The Smile...


A big thank you to Terratec for the video and Tzukenut for the pictures-- great work guys!

Craven Haven

Firstly "cześć" to my Polish visitors-- I see that Tomasz's appearance in Attitude has featured in the Polish media too! Please forgive my poor Polish, I'm trying to learn the basics (and perhaps more). So: Jak się masz?

In the next few weeks, the legendary John Craven will have been at the helm of Countryfile for an impressive 21 years! Countryfile started in August 1988: A few months into the programme, John Craven decided to finish his long run at Newsround {i}, so that he could front Countryfile-- and there he has remained!

A revamp of the show in 2009 saw Matt Baker and Julia Bradbury become the main presenters, with JC re-assigned to investigative features on the more serious issues facing rural areas.

What has this all got to do with The Schaf, I hear you cry: Well In August 2008, there was a special show to celebrate 20 years of Countryfile. Who better to do the weather forecast for it, than our very own Tomasz!


^Thanks to GMCAG for the video

One of the biggest surprises for me this week, has been how many people didn't realise how buff Tomasz is. If you look beneath and between the oh-so-neatly folded sleeves, there were pretty strong hints even two years ago [haha]! It's definitely better that he wears jeans now though, to show off other parts too!


{i} Newsround being the show John Craven himself created-- all round telly legend.

Roll up, roll up

Sadly no Tomasz today on Country Tracks. I was secretly hoping he'd do a forecast wearing a Santa costume, or perhaps just some tinsel with a pair of shiny baubles.

Since it's a parky out, I'll go back to the end of August. Tomasz show us how to roll up sleeves neatly, whilst wearing a pair of jeans as only The Schaf can. Looking tanfastic here...
