wonderful spring day

... especially as a few days ago there was deep and beautiful snow
in Budapest - see picture made while waiting for tram no 59.
We had 20C+ today with sparkling blue skies, I sat outside with the cats and dogs, on the red comfy chair, reading!

My dad is slowly getting stronger, eating better and moving about a bit - the good weather arriving should help tons.

So we had a couple of the sort of days I imagined it would be; pottering about in the sunshine, preparing and doing English lessons, reading the last of the xmas books, at the moment "It's all Greek to me" (besides that thick Dawkins selection which I'll read bits by bits) enjoying it immensely, as did all the others... bit of cooking a minimal of housework... hm, soon more as we actually expect hostelguests for Saturday.

The other photo was made by Alan's mobile in one of the shopping centres - he liked the shop's name for some reason...

oh, yes, the hotbox experiment is continuing - it has to be kept open, otherwise it must produce too much methane, the first lot of
seedlings were not happy, until this discovery was made...

and - the three remaining old hens started to lay! We are expecting some more layers as promised by Anna... soon...

greetings to our one blog-follower, hope you enjoy your new job, dear Cronoguard...
