Back to work

An era has come to an end. Next time I'll have a long period off like this, will probably be my retirement. :)
Today was my first day at work after six months. Really strange feeling, I know where everything is, but still it's alien. On top of this, I have to start with installing everything on my laptop...
And little Klara, off to kindergarten the whole day, a whole new world for her to get accustomed to.

At least we had lots of fun with the guys at the gymn, wonder if we'll have a reunion-reunion soon? :D

Dos and don'ts

If you are in Budapest, there is a chain of stores that you really should avoid. Office. I can't even post the link to the Hungarian (East european) store here, as the site is reported as malicious by Google.
So, what can you buy there? Shoes. Which in itself is fine, but the staff in both the WestEnd store and the one on Váci utca are terrible. I've been to both, and service is worse than lousy, they seem to be there to have fun amongst each other, and trash the customers if they think you don't speak hungarian. It's like they are in 6th grade. In Váci utca, they even tried to scam us off the pity change they owed us, 10Ft. A useless amount, but stupid thing to do as a store, after treating you like shit.
You have been warned.


Better news though, a good place to go to (though not for shoes) is the Nádas büfé in Palatinusz strand on Margit sziget. Of course, this is only in the summertime.
The guy that has the place is probably the nicest and most customer focused "restaurant" owner I've ever met. You always feel welcome, and I hope we´ll find him there for many years to come.
You have been tipped. ;)

Updating the back entrance

With the proper tools, everything is much easier. Since I had no tools at all for this, except a shovel, I borrowed what was needed from Bad boy (thanks!), and managed to get this done in under three hours, including cleaning and all.


Perhaps not completely like the professionals would do, but it should be fine for many years...

Budapest reunion

Yesterday we were all invited to Marcus' crazy big palace, to reminisce our four day trip to Bp this summer. The evening was a superb mix of good friends, alcohol and music, and getting lost.


We even found some "nice" accessories, but we didn't take them with us when we went out to the club. As usual, the best part of the evening is the house party.


Here we were singing some kazakhi disco song, lullaby, or similar, I have no idea, but we really liked it, as I recall.
Strangely enough, the only thing we didn't get done, was looking at the photos and video clips from the trip. That was sort of the plan from the beginning, but we didn't manage to stick to it. On the other hand, we got lots of new pictures to laugh at...

Also, seems like the Porsche fever is spreading. Now Bob got himself a nice convertible, that has completely crazy sound when opening the throttle fully. Driving it was just wonderful (even though I was hung over like a pig), roof down, sun shining, felt like the summer would go on for ever. Thanks for the experience! :)


And thanks guys, for a great party!
