back in nearly full fettle

after another visit to the GP and another - very expensive (4500HUF with the insurance = £14 for seven tablests) I only had 2 coughs today. I took Lois's advise and did as little as I managed.
... it is again cold and wet, the same seemingly endless rain returned, and it must be horrible for all those people whose house is flooded, mostly in the Eastern part f the country, but we have fields here with new lakes on it, and Zoltán has frightening stories about cellars collapsing in Palkonya and houses becoming inhabitable.
This morning we went up with our lovely new Taiwanese wwoofer, Mei, to pick some raspberries and black cherries but we were beaten back by really heavy rain that caught us; we only managed a crumble-full. So anyway, managed (well Mei did the work) to totally clean and tidy the freezer room, which was in a mess, and worried me for some time. But come hell or high water, we will go up the hill again tomorrow, I want my black cherry jam, I don't let this horrid rain rot the lot.
Besides my hearty coughs it was rather quiet here, not much else to report. The loveliest news are that Szonya and Drew are coming on the 28th of July with an oz friend of theirs, and they are staying for nearly a week! And on top of that Martin and Sharon are arriving on the 17th of September! Sharon only be able to stay 10 days, but Martin is staying till 6th of October! So fab! We have to think about planning our trip to the big US in November - not an easy project to get all the dates and people coordinated.
Alan got himself a second hand scything machine for a good price and he is quite chuffed with it so far. Should have made a picture, it looks rather impressive.
Our wireless internet is working, alas not from the guest house, too many thick mud-brick walls in between... but people can internet and skype away from other rooms of this house and even can sit outside with their laptops but have to leave the doors open.
