more matches!


England got beat but they played well says Alan, who managed to stay up to watch. But the other two we've seen were also surprisingly enjoyable. We try to keep to one a day. No time for more, what with black cherries, peas, chard (=spinach-ish big leaves) We had about a week of intense heat, 35C+, but it's gone more bearable normal <30C now. WWoofer is diligent, stuff is getting done. So we have plans to see Bob Dylan in Kassa (=Kosice) 27th June, and the Guca trumpet festival in Serbia somewhere South of Belgrade 6th - 10th Aug!! Meanwhile some of Sharon's pictures, Milan, Vicenza, Venice, Bassano, Cittadella...

busy busy


unfortunately cannot post any photos yet from our beautiful and pleasant holiday with Toronto based kidlings, as they were made with Samsung Young mobile and its Kies app wouldn't work with Linux. I'll try to put them on a pendrive with somebody's windows, unless somebody has a better idea... So wherever we went - Venice, Cittadella, Bassano de Grappa - wherever we looked - it was a pleasure for the eye and the soul... top that with the lovely food and the company and you get something you cannot quite put in words on a blog, so we got home ok. Candy looked after things with little help from Erzsi as she and Tibi were ill most of the time. Everything survived and grown. We had from Thursday 29th Szonya's friend Sarah Jane and her family for 5 days, and that was also enjoyable time, though a bit hectic, with having to give some time off to Candy however workaholic she is. Alan now more or less finished weeding. Garden looks good, first time we have paprikas this early in the year, and had a few raspberries now every morning, and new purple outside giant reddishes, not at all woody. 8 new batch runner ducks are in the front of the other house, 14 of the new chickens happily installed in the other chicken run, rabbits pregnant. No 3 lamb now lives with Erzsi, as the excommunication happened eventually, but when she was (it is a she, we still no idea what the other 2 is, haven't got round checking) already happy grass-only eater. Bonzo was diligently walked by Henry 4 years old visitor and all-round delightful person. Candy is leaving tomorrow morning and we are getting a Nicolas from the US in the evening. There's tons more happening, but now I have to get back to Roland Garros...
