Timi is standing as mayor!

... which is good news, except she'll have no time for giving us lifts if she's elected. A bloody difficult job, we just had Tamas's farewell do and he explained for two hours why the next mayor will have a hard job. Mostly: the central funding for villages dropped one-third, families are sliding to money-uncertainties, people are less tolerant with each other... anyway, Timi convinced me to stand as councellor, and I said I would. With today's talk of difficult times and no remunerations, there probably won't have enough people standing to have a competition... there as a free meal with wine
at the standing-down do, so things can't be that bad...
We are having a returnees' week, we have two Sweedish girls who were here last August and requested lunch with monks' ears for Emma's birthday today, which must have made a made a big impression on her last time... also we had Linda, who's the mother of a wwoofer who was here 3 years ago and an English couple one of whom was here last November. We also have an outstandingly good looking Christopher from Wales, who helped Alan to fix a few loose roof tiles as well as together with Linda, looked after Zoltan, getting him to talk and were here for new arrivals, while we were gallivanting in Pecs eating lots of cakes with the wwoofers, as we missed our day out last week, or it seemed like if we did...
I am off to Budapest tomorrow for three days, as I am getting a lift off Timi, who is going to a belly-dancing seminar(!) with the long waited return of Domentx and Marta Alan and the wwoofers will have to breakfast 7 guests and themselves on Saturday morning. It is supposed to be a bit quieter next week... lots of good pictures are coming from people, I'll do a bit of editing when I get round to it.
