all well

sorry, we had a very busy time - first of all I spent more time than usual in Budapest being with my mum in hospital. She's the same and was taken home a few days ago, my sister organised specialist homecare, the necessary appliances etc, it is not easy, and as the same relaxants are not available as the one used in the hospital, mum is restless she cannot sleep.

The hay, cherries, strawberries are ok, we didn't have too much rain, in fact we could do with some more. It is a pleasure to look at (and to eat) all the lettuces, spinach, and peas are ready to pick anytime now.

We also got Lois - and we had the usual adventures and very good time with her, had nice walks and meals in Pécs, went to see a good band yesterday (A Köztársaság Band) fantastic violin and cimbalom players, good singing, I've never seen this venue so full.

Tomorrow we'll look at a Zsolnay exhibition, and see how the new "Culture Quarter" is doing, it all supposed to be completed by the autumn.

I keep forgetting to charge the cameras - I waited with the blogging keep wanting to put pictures on - well, next time...

Oh, yes, we had some guests! 6 malaysian pensioners! Same age as us, 5 ladies, friends since high school, travelling together. They
arrived with a big lump of beef, they wanted to learn how to make the real Hungarian gulyas, so I had to scrub up the old bogrács, and in 20 minutes we managed to get it organised! The ladies chopped onions, vegetables - I added a bit of goat-meat from the freezer - it turned out to be very good, if I may say so, it was a very pleasant if busy evening.
