remember, remember...

so right on the 5th we had the most wonderful bonfire night, started with Drew's bogrács lamb gulyás and continued with the most fantastic home-done fire-works - Dodi came over with Kristóf, our own fire-work specialist. He's a lovely lad, with a lot of fascinating hobbies... but he's a pro, actually working for the past years for a local fire-work manufacturer, and had been invited to a Genoa fire-work festival this summer! Anyways, it was abs fab, if a bit frightening, like "real" fireworks going off 15meters from you... was well visible from Pécsdevecser we were told. A few days before - or was it after? We visited Máriagyüd, which is part of Siklós on a hillside and is a pilgrimage place where the Virgin chose to appear in the 18 hundreds and is making a nice little income from the visitors ever since. The EU (!) gave tons of money to the village to make up the place. Anyway, as we went to a suggested paint-shop there (for wood-rot curing stuff, very good shop, helpful owner) we had a little walk round thus the photos. Yesterday in the new pizza-bistro in Újpetrol, there was an enjoyable little music evening; local sheep and goat man Robi borrowed Alan's electric and with Dodi, they had a tidy little rock gig, some Hungarian numbers that were not that old and better than expected. Pizza is so-so, kebab and palacsinta better. As for Trump - this is my opinion more or less exacly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLG9g7BcjKs finished European Culture and Politics - enjoyed it with decent chance to argue. Fresent lot on "The mind is flat" is fairly docile - but than it is done by a business school... it is also reading and crossword season. Bonzo still happy, and hasn't sneaked out what - for about 3 days... question what to do now that we got so close and sentimental (started to cry when I go to the shop!) - we will be away for nearly a month... he might move to Erzsi's, or something.
