Even the
very end of July reminds us that summer is not everlasting.
The time of sunrise and sunset is perceptively changing, the
dewy grass hardly wants to become dry in the mornings and the
temperature falls. However, we still have really hot days in
August - these are just tiny signs of the upcoming season.
The last
summer month began with the absence of my son who went on
holiday with his father. I was not so happy with the
destination. Turkey is not the safest country nowadays and
even not recommended to visit because of internal affairs. So
it was quite long week for me. Usually I schedule many
programs by such a week when Dominik is out (once in a year)
but this time I preferred to relax which probably was due to
my light flu.
That
vacation was much better than I expected. Basically there
were sea, sand, sun and strangely there were peace and love
(Krisz and Juli broke with each other several weeks before
but finally decided to go together due to the early reservation
and because of the kids). They all arrived nicely
tanned, safe and sound with many new pieces of clothes and
since then Dominik wants to have a parrot. And since then I
quite often hear that how
much he missed me and how much he loves me. Juli reported
that she loved his humour very much.
Another class reunion entertained us with old stories, good memories and heartily laughs this month. We usually gear the date to the visits of one of our classmates (Zsófi) who lives in Norway. She tells us when she is coming and then we gather together on that date. "If you are quite persistant, you will have the chance to meet everybody sooner or later" - our Mark said and I agreed.
We usually celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday (35) and nameday in August and this year we were pleased to attend his grandma's birthday (73) too, at her place in the picturesque Mátra Hill. At this time I revealed my wild baking skills with a spectacular fruit-filled yumminess, animal print cake rolls. At the very end of our visit I decided to discover the nearby Buddhist Stupa which made me to feel being in a foreign country and not in Hungary.
The fireworks of August 20th was seen in a new way like never before. I had an absolutely child friendly idea. The whole family was invited to Hűvösvölgy to get on the children's railway which is a nice experience itself. The route was tailored to the event. The railway was stopped in the panorama curve at Sváb Hill in order passangers could enjoy the fireworks fully. And the most exciting part was the dark tunnel where the engineer switched off the lights and everything turned black.
Finally we
managed to arrange a nice family day in Taksony at Zoli's weekend
house. A
bit more than a year before, there
were two babies in two tummies and
now, one
of them was walking on her own. Erika
& Andi are so lucky to
have two little ones
almost at the same age. Therefore, they
are doing many things together
and meet many times although, they live
not so close to each other.
This month brought some new friends and deepend the friendship with old ones. Strangely, this was due to the brake of the relationship between my ex and his ex. Juli & me became friends, went together to a birthday party first, then she invited me to her birthday where I had the chance to meet long-seen friends and also had the chance to clear some things.
