32C no more




- winter arrived with biting winds and well under 10C,
we had lots of rain, too, which is good.
We still have the Dutch people here half price, as they are still looking for a long time rent, but they are a tad choosy, which will make all locals with places to rent cross with them and us as well. Who said helping people was a good idea??
Meanwhile a bit of cloths re-arrangement and (bit hasty) preparations for the winter is going on... pictures and details when its all done.
We were invited to the Pecsdevecser harvest dance, and inspite of some
initial misgivings, it was a friendly and merry affair, we had a good time and plenty of jumping about. All drinks and pogacsa were free!
So one could even put up with the ethnic german music that prevailed cca 70 percent of the program. But the family business that provided it was flexible, when a drop-in italian guest jumped on the stage to sing "Marina, Marina..." they could accompany him.
He was from Naples, working in Germany for the last 20+ years, and I looked pleased with Timi and me singing those old Italian tunes to him, some of us even in Italian...
We collected the pumpkins - a little bit too early as Zoltan said, we should have waited for the first frost... but I can't see these few days making a lot of difference.
The one I tasted wasn't quite sweet for eating roasted, but the experimental pumpkin soup was absolutely marvellous. So there is at least one use for them... With Halloween getting popular here, we might offer some of them to the local kids.
And now we are getting ready to a Pecs night out; for the meal we promised Timi, Dodi and Kaszi for looking after things when we were away, we plan to give another try to the Chinese retaurant that does indian and thai and seemingly everything else oriental.
Pictures shows mostly pumpkins and a bit of flying Timi in the village dance.
I've just noticed other blogs have a proper commenting group. How come I don't?? Is there anybody there??

Hi Eva

I always read your blog, but whenever I tried to comment it said that you will have to OK it for it to appear and then it never did. I was wondering if you needed to change the comment settings, but now it looks as if it is OK.
