Ecofarmer

re-settled in Hungary from Rochdale, Lancs, England, and into a little village, doing a bit of greenish farming hoping for a quiet life... but stuff just happens...

still no phone...





... but there are darts, the board is up, and Alan is practising.
In the bedroom mind you, and no wall-protection, so it is just for the pro players... maybe we should get a cheap carpet to put behind the board when we venture next to the Pecs sunday market.

Zoltan took Alan to Palkonya to look at and to buy a neat trailer to work with the mini tractor that is really a cultivator, but it might do for collecting the hay. It was bought and Alan had a chance to drive the pickup on the muddy non-tarmac roads between Kiskassa and Palkonya, one of the few occasions when he's driven a left hand drive vehicle, and first time a 4 wheel drive. He was too terrified to enjoy it if you believe him.

Other than that there's not much to report, the last lot of beetroot is waiting to be pickled, now that we managed to free
a few bottles. Opened a sliced cucumber experiment, and it is not bad at all, if I may say so.

Too much telly yesterday, the Hungarian talent show, with wonderfully as well as awfully weird stuff, such as a male soprano, basket ball twiddlers, but some good dancing troops, too. Then the movie Bandits with Bruce Willis, Billy something Thornton and Kate Blanchet for a light but a bit over long diversion.
The long winterish nights are closing in, it is dark by 5 and still darkish at 7am. Cca 6 weeks till xmas, that is when the nights'll start to be shorter again.
Getting round putting draught excluder improvisations between the windows. It goes a bit slowly, as I am in a lazier than usual mood, and all the window seals should be cleaned before so endowed...
