Friday March 25 2011 - The roof is on fire....

Now the roof terrace is ready for summer!! A couple of days work transformed it from winter sleep to "Grilltauglich"
Weather has been really nice the last week.  23 degrees today, or 22,7 to be more precise In the shadow of course. No cheating with the sensor on a black wall in the sun!!! However some rain a a little colder weather is expected for Sunday. But who cares; It will be a day full of inside activities; Formula 1, pancakes and lazy hours with a book. Maybe I will jogg as well, lets see... I have been really good in this activity last week. Margit Island is a beautiful place just now. Everything is getting green and the air is full of pollen. Achoo :-)

Tonight we will eat at T&G - what a surprise, huh? :-)

Before and after (or opposit...);

            

            

Sunday March 20th 2011 - PC & DH

Today we had a very slow day. Pancakes with DH of course. Also had time to evaluate the weather data for the past 24 hrs. Very interesting...
Forgot to mention yesterday that Kajsa and Willem finally got their new car. If not perfect, then at least superb...

            

Saturday March 19 2011 - new toy

Yesterday I came back again after a slippery ride on ice and snow. Summertyres are NOT designed for that kind of conditions. First shock was when I left the ice hall in Ängelholm in Thursday evening. Everything was under a 5cm snow blanket. Still made it in time for the ferry between Trelleborg and Rostock. Next encounter with white roads was in Erzgebirge, and next between Praha and Brno. It's supposed to be spring, not winter... Still made it back home in time for T&G :-)
What I did in an ice hall? Went to see Rögle get beaten by Växsjö Lakers. This miserable game I saw together with Linda, Victor, Anna, Hilda, Maja and Willem.
Today I have assembled and fired up my brand new, high tech "weather station". It collects and reports all possible and unpossible information regarding the weather on our roof. All data goes online to my computer. I get all kind of statistics and diagrams. I LOVE statistics and diagrammes... :-)

            

Friday March 11 2011 - deal, or no deal??

Tuesday me and Linda started our road trip in a warm sunny Marbella. 3300 km later we ended up in a cold snowy Båstad. Had to escape back to springish Budapest again. But not for long. Will have a new road trip next week; Budapest Båstad forth and back. Have I ever mentioned that I like to be on the move...
Tomorrow we will buy a new bicycle for little m, the old one is suddenly too small.
Maybe I will start to make the terrace summer ready this weekend. The wooden floor boards have to be oiled, the 80 plants to be trimmed and muchas more... It's a nice work to do in the sun.
Next week is the "World book day", and all the kids in the school will dress up as their favourite book hero. We have tried to convince little m that her hero is Pippi Longstocking, the "Pippi" books are after all written by a swede, and illustrated by an estonian. (Very pedagodic we think) Reluctantly she tried out the outfit I just bought her.
She's still not totally convinced, she rather would be a princess (as always...) but in the end I'm sure big M will come to a deal with her (as always...)

             

            

Friday March 4 2011 - Pigga igen

I have had throat pain for the whole February. Big M as well. Little ditto hasn’t. She’s small, but strong as a pepper, as they say here in Hungary.
Anyway, we got a hint of a miracle drug that could be bought without prescription. It had text in Cyrillic (probably Russian) and a picture of a pig on the label. It’s a spray, almost like an asthma-spray.
Contents antibiotics, and is most likely a vet product. Doesn’t matter; because it works. Meaning we are now symptom free! Yes!!!
This is also verified by Dr Danos at First Med. I had my yearly health exam yesterday, and passed with highest notes. Almost. Have to drink more water, and I got some pills for or against thyroid. Is that a disease?? Anyway they are small, so it isn’t really an effort to take them, (eeh- the pills) and if it keeps my doctor happy…

Sunday I will fly to Marbella. Promised to accompany Linda as she will drive her car from there to Sweden.  Hopefully be back home again on Thursday. At least I have a ticket booked from Copenhagen till then.

Still too cold here, but spring is promised by some weather gurus.
Little M became star of the week for the fourth time.  I’m as proud as she is…

Tonight we will mingle at T&G. Yes, the world is still very in order.
