Angie Hope you are feeling better, we all love you and are thinking about you ,I am sure Bill is a good help and will be looking after you. Keep smiling!!!!



My goodness, where is the time going to?? each week seems to go faster. On Friday Amy and Rosanna came to stay with me, Johanna and Philip went to Brasov for a short break and to show Philips Dad Malcom so I had said I would look after Rosanna and Amy was missing her Mum and Dad so she came too. I made some nice meals for us, we went out shopping and as you will see from the pictures Rosanna made some good things too, she also made Blueberry muffins all by herself. Amy helped with the washing up, making beds etc etc and a lot of other things too.

On Monday I went for another lesson with Tina, she is lovely and very patient with me . It is going to be a slow process but I am sure I will be pleased when I can have a conversation with my neighbours and friends. Angie managed to get us on Skype, it was lovely to hear her and see her. She had an op. last week (Not nice) but was being very brave and positive , she did look tired we all love her very much and hope she has a speedy recovery.

It has been slightly cooler this week and Rosie and I got the hanging baskets all down and sorted all the dead bits out and gave them a really good watering. I got a lot of little jobs done , but had Neuralgia for three days and found it very painful. Amy came again yesterday and I had decided not to go to the ECC as I did not feel so good , but she convinced me to get ready and said it would do me good, which it did!! Must get ready for my lesson now and make sure my homework (Tema) is right. Hope you are all OK out there!!!!

Learning the Language

Buna Ziua, ce mai facetí?

Má numesc Rose,eu am saizeci si sase de ani. Locuiesc ín Romania din Decembrie douá mii sase.

Hobby-urile mele sunt, crosetatul,cititul,grádináritul si calculatorul. Mi-am fácut multi prieteni ín Arad si Subcetate locuiesc aici, acum si nu má voi íntoarce sá locuiesc ín Marea Britanie.

This is a little of the Romanian I have been learning. It is difficult to write it properly as my key board is not the right one. Hope you can understand some of it!!!!

Sunday Afternoon at the Strand

I spent Sunday afternoon at the "Strand", It was buzzing, hundreds of people enjoying themselves. I went with Kathy , Kenneth, Amy and Yasmina, we went to watch Kenny MC for a promotion. He is working there for 5 weekends during the summer holidays, and he is very good. It was very hot and most people were in the pools ( I think there are four pools) and now a new ripple pool. I had some whitebait freshly cooked , delicious. The last time I had them was in Cornwall but , my goodness they cost a lot more there. There was a lot of stalls selling hot corn on the cob, crepes , hamburgers, freshly made chips , and lots more. It only costs three new Ron (60p) to go in so quite a few families can afford to go and swim, picnic, laze on the grass or whatever! We have three girls here helping (students) they thought it was great and as good as being at any of the holiday resorts.

Well I am going for a Romanian lesson tonight after a break as my teacher Tina was on a well deserved holiday, she works 8 hours a day and does tutoring in the evening and has a little boy to look after too.I have been practising , but still find it difficult, the older you get the harder it is to learn new skills.

I made plum jam this week. I went to see an old friend in Saleani (Mariana) and she gave me lots of delicious plums and home made Tomato juice , she is wonderful and she was so pleased to see me and the same for me too , I wish I lived a little nearer and I could see more of her.

Gloria ( my friend from Belfast) has been away and I have really missed her, be glad when she comes back. Hajni has been good though and now has a little car, she took me to "Jackson" and I got a couple of things and we hope to go in to Hungary soon to the markets.

Must go now and practise some more before my lesson ha ha !!!!
