The 30th Week

A very pleasant long weekend is behind us including the last Sunday of May which is the Day of Children and Whitsun Sunday and Whit Monday. Whitsun is a sign of Corpus Christi / Procession / the flower carpet around the church for me which is in 2 weeks time.
The sun was shining during those days but there were heavy storms throughout the country. My sister installed the air pool on the terrace and we had fun while the boys were picking the early cherries at our weekend house. Ancsa has several exams at this time, she has to learn a lot.
The dame next door stood a treat on Sunday on the occasion of the arrival of her son after 5 weeks Canada, from Victoria Island. All of us were invited, she prepared a whale of food and did this on her own.
I had to buy some new expectant clothes because only a few piece left which suit me yet (my stomach is 105 centimeters round, my weight is 68 kilogrammes) . Me and my sister visited the ”Tiger Market” where we always find gorgeous things on very favourable prices. We spent a long time and a lot of money there. It was worth very much, we made good bargain and good buy.
My belly often becomes deformed on account of the position of the baby. Sometimes as it were not belly shaped at all. We’ll go to ultrasound tomorrow, so I’ll know the baby’s weight exactly who is still very active. Last Friday I had a blood test because of antibody screening, my blood type is not typical, I’m ”A” RH negative and the baby might be positive because Krisz is positive as well.

The 29th Week

The wide open spaces always fascinate me, mainly if it’s combined with such a scenery like in Bakony where I was with the workers for 2 days last week. The accomodation was in a valley in a village called Bakonybél 127 kms far from Budapest (www.bakonyhotel.hu) encircled by pine-wood as far as the eye could see. In the circumstances I always realized how I love nature. I could admire it all day long enjoying every little rush of air, gazing at every shade of green existing, listening the many birds twittering and feeling the sun stroking on my skin. Relaxing habitually is needful in our overworked lives. We must spend time on ourselves. That’s why and on the occasion of our first anniversary we’ll go to Harkány at the weekend (www.xavin.hu).
Insomuch as our company performs in the building industry, the majority of the employees’ gender are male. I’d like to lead up to the fact that each and all of them were very thoughtful, payed regard to me and my state. The one made inquiries whether I am cold, the other asked whether I am thirsty, the one was waiting for me when I dropped behind the group because of taking photos, the other yield the place to me at once… These gestures gratified me, it was very kind of the boys. In the evening of arrival there was a BBQ and baker’s trade. Following day we were divided into two groups: we could choose either sightseeing within the village or hiking in the forest. We went home after lunch.
That day we met the cameraman and got the video theme of our wedding. It was a real joy (it was free because of the lateness). Although Krisz was on nightshift again (last time as a non-parent) we had a look at it on that night when he got home. On the whole we were satisfied. It’s a fine piece of work, we like it. The only problem is that we still have to wait for the uncut version…

The 28th Week

We took part in my cousin’s school leaver ceremony on Saturday in the country and we didn’t get back by the time the wedding began in Budapest. It was probable that’s why we had to choose between the two programs. What’s more, we were invited to a dance contention as well by our teachers in the evening. It was a pity that we didn’t arrive in time and to tell you the truth we were too tired to take part in it. These ”balls” usually last far into the night.
As regard the weather we had deuce of a luck during the ceremony and the whole day while we were in the country. When we woke up early in the morning there were grey clouds on the sky, it was raining all night long and even on our way to the spot was spitting and blowing. We were in dispair because I dare say that it’s necessary raining on the occasion of ceremonies like this in May. It’s an annoying thing in spite of the fact that there’s a phrase which says that raining in May is worth gold. It’s very true as regard the agriculture not open-air ceremonies like Maying, school leaver’s ceremonies, weddings… As we approached the city, the sun pushed through the clouds and get warmer and warmer and we felt hot. It was good to meet long-seen faces, relatives and friends. My growing belly was a newness for all of them although they knew that the baby is under way. We got a lovely bed clothes from my godmother in advance. After the ceremony we had a countrified lunch with desserts what’s more we went to a confectionery to eat ice-cream. Time passed fast, we had to set off and it was raining hard all the way home.
Sensation Nr1: the first tasty watermelon of the year (not Hungarian yet)! I like it! I eat it! At any time.
Sensation Nr2: it seems like we can take possession the movie of our wedding on Friday evening – after one year diagreeable waiting

Sensation Nr3: my mother's amarilisses are blooming
Thursday & Friday: two-days business excursion in Bakony Mountains, in the woods
