Mission more or less completed, now I only have to close the project: write some summaries, fill out some forms, and collect the money. I am certainly more clever than I was a month ago. I am also ready to take my new job, where, if no disaster happens in the next two days, I [...]
Two weeks ago we were on holiday with V. at her parents’ house. It is at Kökény, in a small village near Pécs, in the Mecsek. I like being there. It is a very quiet place when we can rest ourselves. We sleep in V’s old room — she lived there when she went to [...]
I never buy electronic wares for their looks. All I want is functionality — sometimes I realize only at home how beautiful things I bought, when they start glowing beautifully in the dark.
I few months ago I needed a new mouse. I barely had few minutes to dash into the shop, choose a mouse that [...]
Mum flew back to the US on Monday. As usual, I volunteered to see her off, so I could take the car back to the city. I also took the opportunity to take some pictures of the airport.
I like airports, just like railway and bus stations: I love the feeling of travelling. I like seeing [...]
Yesterday I helped Mum preparing a small family party. My eldest cousin, Gábor and his family was invited; Gábor’s parents also popped in later. I baked scones with sheep curds. It is a common cake in Hungary made in a variety of ways. My favorite recipe comes from the cookbook written by the wife of a very [...]
I like cooking; I started at the age of 11, when I burned a few rolls to charcoal in far too much overheated oil. Maybe I even have some inherited inclination towards cooking: my grandmother was a fabulous and very experienced (although not a professional) cook; my father loves experimenting in the kitchen, and has [...]
I hate insects. Quite passionately. I am not scared of them like V., who needs professional assistance for dealing with every single spider or bee, but I become annoyed of them very easily. The drawback of living in a relatively green environment is that an alarmingly large number of animal treats our flat as their [...]
I had to make a complaint at a Vodafone office, so I went in and asked for the office manager. After a few minutes, Pinocchio came forward from the back office in a red Vodafone shirt. Although I was quite angry, I could hardly bear not to laugh, and became relaxed in an instant. I [...]
I have two kind of ring tones on my cell phone. One is a pleasant tune, which means “relax, it’s just a friend or a member of the family”. The other one was named “office phone” on the tone list, and it usually means that I have to prepare for an official call. Until the [...]
I left my camera at home again — now, with no borrowable cameras around, I had to take pictures with my cell phone. Today I was at Buda — I had a job interview very near to my first home. I wasn’t there since last year — it’s fortunate that I did not miss the [...]
