Happy Stuff

so we didn't go up to meet kids - we were not 100% with a bit of cold, and we have to watch these viruses for Alan, whose immunity is a bit iffy lately. Good news - that psa count is down, not so good - he'll have another angiogram or whatever with cathatering, hopefully not as traumatic as last time, we expect an appointment for it sometimes in January. But Alan is feeling much better - usually. Still, we let Erzsi and Tibi help, though mostly we do what left - 2+1 sheep - the visitor is still here, owner promised hay in exchange for it (or hopefully him) to stay longer, Loju, the shepherd in the next village seem to have some sheep-accommodation problems. We kapt two beautiful cockerels from the stock we brought up, but 6 was chopped, today we enjoyed our first soup thanks to them. We had a few sunny days - bit of a minus at night but upto 5 or more during the day. Now a winterish gloom arrived, foggy and dark, no precipitation besides the fogginess and feels rather cold even though it is staying around 0. Alan also done the pruning of the figs, raspberry and the willows. Our antique grinder is fixed -re wound and has a safely switch with speed control. It cost quite a bit - but still cheaper than a new one and it works now much more efficiently. With this years xmas cake - which sports a marzipan santa we got from one of the nice Balatonfüred cake shops - I wish every lovely person who bothers to read this - a very enjoyable time this winter and all through the new year.
