parties, and being partly un-green



Starting with un-green business, Anna, the vullage etrepeneur acrooss the street
asked us for space for her millions of chickens, ducks and piglets,
as she is running out and her business is blooming... so we let her have
our unused space, in exchange for cut fresh meat, whenever there is a cut.
So this lot won't be organic as such - but we can do with the extra income,
as maybe Alan is right, that new Pecs dream hostel on the main walking street
is taking away our much needed custom... Picture shows Anna's crew doing the disinfecting of her new animal rearing quarters.

We've been to a Meta concert on the 9th - this is a Muzsikas style folk music band.
They just had the 25th anniversary of musicking together. The concert was in the posh
Palatinus Hotel in Pecs, the wwoofers Patrick and Elisa, as well as Vic and Maggie
joined us. It was very good, their supporting band, Szelkialto was also extraordianry, very good singing and very moving and rythmic stuff to put to poetry with exotic instruments, including throatsinging, wow!
And it turns out, that Vic and Maggie's builder, Laszlo, who's doing their latest ambicious renovation project, is a musician, playing the double base, and was one of the founders of Meta! So he was part of the birthday celebration, even if he chose to become a builder later, and we were all invited to the pub called Hokkedli.
This is a lovely place we haven't been before. A table was set up with sausages
making out the greeting message, and you should've seen the kemence in the middle!
Anyway, it was a great party, we felt lucky to be there, thank you again Meta,
Szelkialto, friends and crew, especially, Zsuzsa! Picture shows the table. Then the battery run out in the camera, as per usual.

Yesterday we had for tea the landlord of Ujpetre's Dark Dog and the family,
very nice people, with beautiful and clever kids. They enjoyed the prawn cocktail, goatcurry and trifle - this is the staple I do for the natives - worrying that they might not get as impressed by my hungarian dishes as people from Uk, US etc...
Pleasant time was had by all, Alan experimented with eating and drinking as normal, and so far he has no after effects he says, which for me means, that most of his diver -something -itis is a bit of headology...
