outings

The oz hostelguest stayed an extra day, 4 altogether, and we had a nice couple from Slovenia. Hm, times are hard, if guests are detailed on the blog - but, lets stay positive, this is still pre-season, and quite cold.
We had a decent spring day on Thursday, when we went with the wwoofers and Vic and Maggie to Gyűrűfű, the "eco-village". We did the requisite walk around in the surrounding wooded countryside, very pleasant. The village was about 6 houses, built in the place of the old village that became empty in the 1960s. It was interesting to (not) see how the mud-brick houses totally disappeared into nature in 40-odd years.
The newly built modern mud-brick houses were designed in the old style - maybe a bit too much swiss, had grey water filtering and outside dry compost toilet, a few solar panels and nicely built "kemence" (local form of hand-built fireplace/oven structure that can heat the whole house).

By the way, our dry compost toilet is ready, that is, the paint is drying. And the master says, that more functional that that one in the eco-village, as ours has a proper ventilation system.

Otherwise, besides the further progress of sowing and cheesemaking, there is nothing new to report... oh, there are elections today, it seems that the biggest vote goes to:.... those who won't be voting locally at least, loads of people I met in the village said re-phrased: "Why should I care which one of them is stealing my money". Which has a lot of wisdom, but it'll make the fascists' statistics look even worse than it probably will be.
I went with the LMP ("Can be different politics") as it was a bit greener and a bit more antifascist than the others...

More goat-kid pictures - made by Anais - you cannot have enough, can you? By the way, they can jump down the hill, climb up to Nora's roof, so are into all the usual antics...
