It’s Friday, and the weekend is just around the corner. That means it is time to kick up your feet and relax with some quick fire questions. This ‘Time Out’ features Konrad Czajka, Managing Director of Czajka Care Group, who in another life might have been a research and development chemist…or a down and out musician!
What is the first thing you do to get the weekend started?
The first thing I do on a Saturday morning is a 15-minute session on the bike and a 25-minute swim. I then check that as captain of a tennis team, all the players are prepared for the afternoon tennis match!
What is your hobby?
I have been a semi-professional musician with a band in the past, but these days I play my piano accordion, piano or bass guitar most days, and occasionally still perform!
What is your favourite movie?
My favourite movie is still Last of the Mohicans (1992) with Daniel Day-Lewis as Hawkeye.
If you hadn’t been successful at what you do, what would you be doing instead as a career?
I would probably be a research and development chemist or a down and out musician trying to make a living!
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
A superpower for me would be the ability to read people’s minds so mind reading or ‘mentalizing’.
What is your secret talent?
I have no secret talent that I know about, and at my age I don’t think I will discover one now!
What is your favourite genre of music?
I grew up amongst the Polish community and always loved playing or dancing to the waltzes, tangos and polkas, which I can still play on my piano accordion, or squeeze box as my friends and family call it!
If you could travel to any moment in time, where would you go?
I would travel back in time to either join Robin Hood’s Merry Men or to join Davey Crockett at the Alamo.
