mid october adventures


Girls been here for a full - 2 days, was it... but we had a nice time even made it to Szigetvár. Sorted Vera's jewellery... Bonzo managed to ascape and been attacked and bit by something, but as he looked sort of nearly dead we assumed he was poisoned, and sadly thought he just quietly goes to that forever sleep... but after 3 days, he decided to live a bit more and seem to be nearly back to normal, we wonder if he'll climb out again - we haven't managed to work out where - more chicken wire will be applied. I am doing another Futurelearn, this time European culture and politics, tons of chance to sometime even decent arguments. Marc and Sharon got their tickets for a Budapest nearly xmas, winter will be over real fast with Sz+Dr coming for bonfire night here to Kiskassa then we off toEngland on the 17th for 3 full weeks. Today we had fun and adventure in a very foggy landscape. we got a word, that a real skeptic - even the new list-owner! will be in Mohács with one of those posh river cruse boats, so we drove over. Just finished our lovely fish-soup and roast zander when we had the message that they don't let them disembark and that they are 3 miles up from town in the closed customs area. So we decided to look them up there when we sow this big boat reversing into the little peer in front of us, and there was Rick, in shorts and panama hat waving... they let us on, and after we were re-assured that they let us know when the boat is starting off to Budapest, we had nice chat and coffee... and of course the boat started up with us still on... but we were not far when Alan informed the staff... and the giant boat reversed for us back, but did not bother with the safety bridge, and so we jumped from about 1.2meters height very bravely without braking any bones or flattening the elderly and frail sailors catching us... forgot to say, we went with Vic and Maggie to the Bohemien Beer Kitchen, we must take Szonya and Drew there...

free Bonzo and new flash bus-stop...


... built by the communal workers, absolutely fantastic - Újpetre, Kozármisleny eat your heart out! Yes, Bonzo is freed and gets out any chance he has and bark like mad at nothing much at times, but Alan loves it this way... Népszabadság the broadsheet my parents and I have been readin all these years - the biggest opposition daily - just been shut down by Orban's lot - basically as an act of vengence... quite upsetting, this is the next level on the way to fascism. I think our dear leader is going totally bonkers - he had a lovely fall on the face not having his referendum validated - maybe that added to his apparent madness. Nevertheless he has his 3.3million voters - because Jobbik is part of his support whatever is their latest lie about it. All very upsetting - we should have our stuff ready to leave before people start disappearing in prisons like in Turkey. Try to calm down - walnut picking is good for that... the beautiful autumn is continuing, if at night rather chilly.
