we've survived Thatcher after all...

Yes, Fidesz got the 2/3 majority, Orbán and the head of state Solymos (a Fidesz man) both looked a bit shaken... Well, unfortunately there'll be a lot of disappointed Hungarians... The MSzP has barely 10 more MPs than the fascists, who have 47 MPs (fortyseven).
As only 57% turned out to vote, that Fidesz majority is not as huge as it looks. And spring is here, life is beautiful...

Anyway, back to goats. Alan had the usual fence-problems, little goats jump through the electric fence and then anxious mothers bash through whatever... Well, let's hope the more enforced setup will work better. When the fence works, goats are not much work. But when it doesn't... I went up with them for a couple of hours on Nora's grass - keeping them off the fruit trees can be a challenge. I made pictures...

Washing machine broke down - my fault, I put it on the 90C cycle for the milk filtering cloths, and that was too unusual - some bits burnt out... Anyway, with the gentlemanly help of Pali we have a new washing machine - if by any miracle the old gets fixed, it can be installed in "our" place. which would make washing a bit less adventurous (which in this case - good) and as I chose the cheapest washer, I also picked up a basic microwave oven for the guests. Pali took me to see Kata's school in Pecs - it was about the nicest school I've ever seen, even though it is enormous. It seemed that the kids didn't want to go home...

Bookings are coming in a bit more steadily now and the weather has been decent for a few days.

Martin was 30 yesterday, it was belly-dancing festival and village dance day, and we had a ticket for the Pecs National Theatre for Leányvásár (Victor Jacobi operetta) and expected four guests from Slovenia. As I had more opera/operetta experience I volunteered to stay home, Erika went with Alan, even though she's seen this performance once already - but it was good enough for that. Alan was very enthusiastic about it, had a good time. The dance and the whole show was all highly enjoyable he said.
