Budapest break

gone a day later, as Alan can be wobbly at times and better to be safe than sorry. But we had a lovely time even if in the damp "warm front" that ended up being rather horrid. But there were gaps - we had a trip to the Craft Museum where most of the photos' come from, a walk through Ráday street - the new upcoming trendy place, in some ways better than the well worn parts around Király street. We even found the first ever Scottish restaurant we have ever seen - alas, no haggis on the menu, we have to go there next time to figure out what exactly makes it Scottish. We saw a decent little film, Saving Mr Banks, with the very watchable, as ever, Emma Thompson. Also met friends and checked up on fastly growing grand nieces/nephew including a very nice meal laid out by that tireless sister of mine, the hard labouring rakott krumpli and a mountain of pencakes and the company of the relevant rest of the family. Very pleasant if at times noisy affair. Meanwhile at home all was made neat by Erzsi, with a warm fire glowing for us. Today it is positively balmy unseasonal 10C+ and quite a bit more while the sun was out but alas, the rain returned. All livestock seem putting up with the winter well, even the limping old hen. Alan is tidying up out there, getting ready for plowing if the rain ever stops and for the rabbits! Yes, to the instigation of Erzsi we jumped on a good deal in the village and cages will be assembled this weekend, maybe breeding stock bought on the sunday market. Much easier to manage than goats and healthy meat source, Alan was pondering about this for years.
