futile muscle-ache

had a lovely time yesterday cutting corn-stalks, got pink (well purplish) should do more exercise like that... Alan turned the hay he chopped the day before - alas, all a waste of time as it is again p&%*ing down, and it is also freezing cold. That's agriculture for you; a high risk business. Alan is looking into making silage,
I am not keen on the idea, I remember the smell...

Nevertheless as picture shows, we can still pick a handful of raspberries and the odd fig.

I made an enormous portion of pörkölt, the meat that Pali left in his freezer is in big packs, I had to defrost all. So we invited Pali and Erika over to help, but they were not up to expectation, didn't eat much really. Of course I had to make a largish portion of Hungarian style apple pies, as they were guests after all... and they brought ferraro chocs... so we are getting rather large, me and Alan, should fit well in with the Florida population...

For the Future of Kiskassa Public Benefit Foundation is up and running, if anyone wants to send it tons of money, I can send you the founding document and a bank account where moneys can be transferred...

Thank you for your interest and support kind person Costaslogh, I managed to remember my Greek alphabet, you are from Thessaloniki!! Great!!

Picture shows the new lake in autumn colours, the one we have next to the road out of the village since the big rains this summer; and the giant cabbage that must have frightened the goats, as they failed to taste it, like they did with most others. It is bigger than Bonzo, should have got him in the picture so you have more sense of the size...
Which reminds me: still no interest in goats, who'd want to buy now when they need to be fed all winter and there seems to be a severe hay shortage.
