Engeland Engeland

As I type the big match started - hope they manage some play rather than the boring seatshop they produced so far; if they again play so timidly, I definitely won't watch it, too frustrating, especially after the splendid game Ghana played with the USA.
Pali took Alan and Mei to the Dark Dog, where he's got a big screen set up - but it is inside, and I couldn't face the smoke and a big pro-Germany crowd.
Anyway, after about 1 (one) dry day we had more rain dammit.
Managed to do cca a dozen jars of black cherry jam, though, so I feel better on that score. Also Mei fought her way through the chinese cabbage lot and they are either cooked ("rakott kel" style) or frozen.
We have a dozy couple of guests, who managed to end up in Szekszard instead of Pecs, and arriving a day late here and sitting in the front of the house for a couple of hours, not realising, that the gate was not locked and mei was waiting for them inside... but they insisted that they'd had a lovely time, meeting the villagers out there... We had two roundabout calls on our mobile about the situation (we were shopping in Alan's fav ironmonger's and chilling out in Pecs). Mei managed to get them inside eventually, whereupon they went to bed and slept for the rest of the day...
Alan constructed the framework for the solar shower and placed the watertank in that dangerous height... so, come the next heatwave, hopefully it'll be ready.
well, what else? Can't think of anything reportable...
after posting this I went out to tidy the other house, replenish toilet papers etc when noticed that all the gengstergoats were out, luckily just on the lane. You should have seen me!!! By myself I chased all 7 of them back, and they are now locked in their pen the bastards. Alan will have to put a strand of the electric fence on
the "normal" fence they now learned to destroy. If anyone thinks rural idyll, forget it! This life is frenetic and full of baddies, luckily so far they all have four legs - round here.
