still here...

longest blog hiatus for a while for no apparent reason - the usual existential crisis (being lazy)? anyway, as per occasional routine, I copy here my this morning's e-mail to Lois. all sounds very traumatic - puts into perspective my annoyance with the Mayor Erika, who decided that it was too much to ask to use the village table-tennis facility during the day when nobody else is interested. In the evenings The Youth are there with very loud crap so called music etc. They do want the place for themselves, which is fair enough, as nobody but us wants the damn table. Her "I got the power" tendency reclaimed her again - I hoped she got over it, but no. Also, I get a bloody e-mail from good eva, claiming that god wants hungary to become like it was a very long time ago, because look (map was attached) a temperature pattern shows so, if you use your very biased imagination. So I had to tell her, that I do not want to occupy Croatia I have the feeling I have the Croatians on my side in this, unusually united. I do not want war and camps, like all those maniac old-fascists who send such e-mails. Hungary is bigger than a dozen European countries, who used to be much mightier in their particular allegedly glorious past, e.g. Denmark. We have enough problems with the place with the present boarders. We already been in two horrendous wars, and lost, about time to learn from this part of history dammit. ah, well, at least the Greeks seem to be trying something, good luck to them, but I am losing all my optimism concerning the intelligence and future of mankind. the farm is ok, lodgers happy, racka is to go to freezer this weekend before it can do harm to expected new lambs, hens are laying like there is no winter - which there isn't a lot of, no seasonally cold days since the beginning of the month. Our stay in Budapest was very pleasant indeed, Jutka's place is getting very comfy, kids stood the birthday dinner in Szép Ilona, again, a very joyful evening. Seen to movies - Pride and Birdman, good stuff. more health checks next week, hippo also getting a go-over by our nice car-fixing Attila in Siklós. Getting new laptop next week, as both, the ancient PC and kifli are on their last heroic days.
