Second-homesick

NL
Vandaag is Hajni weer voor 4 dagen naar Hongarije vertrokken… Ze gaat niet naar Kisbajom, maar naar familie in Karcag die morgen een huwelijk vieren. Eigenlijk ben ik wel jaloers, want ik mis Hongarije behoorlijk. Dat krijg je van zo’n leuke vriendin en zo’n leuk huis!

ENG
Today Hajni went again to Hungary. Not to visit the house, but to visit a wedding in Karcag. I am sorry I cannot come. I miss Hungary very much. That is the only problem with sucha nice girlfriend and sucha nice house...

Anita and Jimena

Now, after all those years, it is possible for us to be hosts in Hungary. Especially for Hajni it is wonderful to invite people in a place of our own. The first to enjoy this were Hajni’s sister Anita and her daughter Jimena. They live in Spain, but spend every summer some weeks in Hungary.
They had a lot of fun! Jimena really enjoyed the bath we bought for the terrace. And in the mean time, they helped us by finishing some things in and around the house.

The house is finished

Well, we finally got rid of the contractor… We paid him the last milion Forrint and kicked him out. He was angree a few days before, because he didn’t get the money. Wierd, because the work was not finished either…

We managed to have the plumbing finished, the bathroom in the Barn, the kitchen and the electricity everywhere before the family Bantje came to visit. The stairs were finished when we arrived 2 weeks before! So we don’t need anybody anymore. What a releaf!

Okay, the electrician has to close the hole in the front wall (at the front house). And we had some new work for the carpenter (making some window covers).

Hajnis uncle Miki helps us to whiten the walls. He does a fantastic job, even in the heat of last weekend (42 degrees). Just look at the pictures to see his great work!
