more balmy days barmy goat and well done Obama, now don't let them bully you into sellout like everybody else






Upto unseasonly 25C+ during the day, who's commplaining.

Obama won, yes, very pleasant surprise from the USian; have to admit to low
expectations on my part, even though I prefer to be an optimist; I allow
again this later one to dominate...

The goat in question - the other guest besides the billy, here to get pregnated -
showing decidedly non-nannyish tendencies, such as jumping the other goats and butting the very surprised billy. Also she(?) is smelly. Hm, one confused goat. We have to periodically lock it up so business can progress as it should. With a bit of luck it'll still "catch" and with that those hormones may settle down...

Have been to see greek folk mucic "Sirtos" in the Dominikánus house, where we previously have seen all the other good stuff. Again they were musicians from Budapest, the band leader was greek. Entertaining evening, with
dance at the end, joined in by the audience - looked very much like kolo.
Made picture of the nice ceiling of the concert hall and one of the enamals displayed, a dragon, the work of a local craft circle.

The yellow flower bunch getting more and more impressive. Still have some raspberries on the sole functioning plant. We have goji berries! Look pretty, but probably not ripe, as it tastes awful.

And yes, dear chronogard whoever you are, the rotor is still turning happily,
even after Alan attached the next bit, some sort of gearing to drive something.

we more or less stopped milking - getting ready for the trip back to the good old
Albion. Oh, and 6 more pigs became ex, tons more meat for us, (kept a pack of proper "disznótoros" tastings for pre xmas, frozen) so not our fault that we put on some weight in recent months... (4 more very large pigs left to their grizzly
destiny next week.) Geese started to go the same way - Marton day (11th November) is a traditional day for goose eating appearently.
