Flying visit to Hungary
Before I know it - my Hungarian trip has been and gone...
All that the Tuesday to Sunday trip seemed to entail was bus - train - train - plane - car - Tata - train - train - Szerencs - train - train - Tata - car - airport again lol - plane - train - train - home!
I couldn't for the life of me remember my log in at Szerencs internet cafe - lol - but at least I read my emails...
I think train is an ok way to travel through Hungary - u get a good slice of the countryside - and some of the urban landscape too I guess... its a lot different from UK - you simply wouldnt have buildings lying empty and abandoned so long - everything here is so valuable for rebuilding - there were 3 petrol stations on Kingston Hill a few years ago... now there is just the one.. and everywhere the little shops and terranced houses are being pulled down and replaced by upward expansion.. pub car parks (gone) and the pub garden (halved) in its place a block of flats... no such intensity in the Hungarian countryside - space sure seems much more abundant...
I should try and write more on my visit - however today I am off work with a cold and aching bones... :( I have some reports to do so - I will break the back of those after porridge and Golden Syrup...
all best everyone

A visit to my son
So that time has arrived at last - haha
once a month - I get to see my son in what is laughingly called "Open Access!"
Still what can you do?
I am again confined to a day visit - a dayout in Southampton and the surrounding area - not that there is anything wrong with Soton- Hants - far fromit - but it can hardly constitute a "normal" day - especially as it is such an infrequent occurence..
Bowling, swimming, film, shopping, McDonalds, pub lunch, who knows... at least I get to spend some time with my son - and today I also prepare in case - for golf, lacrosse, hockey (field hockey for you Americans) and War Hammer....
laters

In case anyone ...
Just in case anyone actually reads this, and is wondering why on earth this site looks so - err - unprofessional - haha.
I am just experimeenting atm with pictures - they seem to be arriving a tad on the large size.
BTW - being on your own - not recommended - 2 weeks without Maria - and I am lost as a puppy in the city without a dog tag, collar or sense of direction lol

Ok - a couple of lines
I am off to see my beautiful wife very shortly - she has been away in hungary for almost 2 weeks - and we are both dying in our own ways to see each other again...
I am off to the bank - lol - better get some money in as Lastminute.com was cheap - but not that cheap for my airfare, and I have a couple of unbanked cheques.
