day 2...

... actually finished at 11:30pm, so I am blogging in the (very) early morning of day 3. So it was a lovely coolish after-storm 25C - which is called a cold front around here in June...
Got up, did the chickens, geese, let out the goats, who were left locked up by you-know-who, watered the greenhouse, went to the shop - I won't bother you with this detail for every morning, unless there is something unusual... anyways, wwoofers were bright and early, Elsie started to tie up the tomatoes in the greenhouse, Ries to pull the oldest peas. That was after breakfast, the oz couple was happy, paid and left. I cleaned up, got ready for Tahar's lesson, done lesson, invited him over for Sunday evening meal, as it is his birthday, don't know what I'll do yet then...
Anyway, as I was actually doing some work for 10 minutes OUTSIDE (clearing up around the tree-trunks, and the drains next to the wall) there was a bell... and 3 USian ladies were asking for accommodation, they arrived with the 11am bus! The youngest is cca ten years older than me (but prettier), and the oldest is on the other side of eighty, fantastic travellers of the world. Anyways, I sat them down with elderberry drinks in the kitchen, and run over to change the bedding and clean up, which I planned to do later, after the oz people in the end room. While there Armin appeared, to look at the storm damage, it turned out that there are tiles loose a few places on the guests' house as well as the bits damaged in the other. He is working on bigger emergencies at the moment, but will come asap. Ladies meanwhile finished the pizza they brought with them for lunch, and I installed them and started to do lunch.
(Chicken soup, paprika chicken tarhonya and mange tout) lunched with wwoofers, washed up, got the first lot of clothes out to dry, put in the next lot,
got ready for Zoltan's lesson, but I must have had an hour or so somewhere there to read a bit (Spiro Gyorgy: Fogsag) got Anita to talk to Zoltan after the lesson, which gone real well, from the agreed 10 minutes it became an hour - while I prepared evening meal stuff - and organised Zoltan for taking guests for a Palkonya visit
- Ladies came for the meal, too, had a pleasant conversation that lasted till 10:30 - by the time I cleaned up, the day was over, as I mentioned... and here comes the next one - time to do those chores...
