what happened to the white stuff?

Alan will be surprised when he's back on Thursday - all that snow managed to mostly disappear, only a few bits and pieces left. Johanna nicely cleared the paths - but it is all muddy now...
She's having all her exams from tomorrow at her university in Vienna, and she said they were getting rid off 70% of the 700 first year students. Who, by the way, can study free in Austria. Until they're kicked out...
She also promised to return to look after our place with her friend while we would be away
for the Olympics in London. We have two lots of tickets, one for table tennis, one for women's football.

We had a couple of days of balmy spring (+15+) weather, we'll back to normal +5C-ish for now.
As for Criz's comment - well, luckily I spent those days of big minuses inside - the silver lining of that sciatica. But Alan was amazed - we've never had such cold before, even though we let down the water in the other house, it still froze but luckily after heating there for couple of days the water was flowing alright when turned back on, no pipe-burst anywhere, which was a big problem for a lot of not-well-heated rooms in the village.

The deputy mayor and a council rep walked through the village every night to make sure all the vulnerable people had the means to keep warm.

Attila is growing rapidly, he'll be a big goat! When Alan is back, we can start to think about milking. Chickens started to lay 3/4 per day at the moment, nice. Have I mentioned that we had 8 duck-eggs that are in our new incubator at Erzsi's, as she has experience in turning them and helping little ducks to "be born"...

The specialist nicely tapped me over with her little hammer, written a full page about me - mainly being happy with mostly functioning bits - and had no idea what's up and sent me for MRI - got an appointment to a Pécs clinic for 21st of March. I am still doing well, even my wobbly leg-bits seems better today.

Had the pensioners' club yesterday, only 4 ladies turned up, which had allowed more personal stories. They talked about the village weddings in the good old days - when the whole community prepared together for such events.
nothing much else is happening, which is good...
