Blow me its cold and getting colder

Posted by borlova on October 23, 2007

Well its been a long time since i wrote stuff here,and its getting colder..to be honest i have been otherwise occupied with working and not had the time to write much… since the last post a lot has happened and i dont hink i can cram it all into a few short words…the 8 trucks of apples have turned into about 28 truck loads one family sent 8 tonnes away well we have had apples coming out of our ears here for the last month at least. the wather has turned quick and the snow is upon us we have 6 inches up on muntle mic now and the nights are damn cold down bellow. ritas got puppies on the way, and i am looking forward to going to the uk for a few months…asap…sure i will be back in the spring time.i havnt had a uk christmas for 2 years now and i miss that badly.

the more i think about life here i realise that it is so nice i dont want to leave here. but a short time away will make me think. many things in the village are changing, mainly the weather,but now they are putting in mains water and sewage, pain in the butt if you have to drive to town every day like me.

P hils Departure has been nd gone he didnt last the course here in borlova i think it was too quiet for him and the prospects wernt good enough. but good luck to him in the future in uk as hes gone back there now…..kevs house has still not got a roof on it and its going to be a few more weeks yet before that gets finished,hes going back to the uk soon too. back again next year…

The most important thing for me at the moment is to get enough wood to burn on the fire so we can keep warm…hence a lot of time spent not sitting at the pc writing stuff…

I have got really used to life here now and dont want to go back to uk at all but its a thing i must do i want to spend time with my girls..

meat is cheap here and i only found that out these last few months…bugger i starved for ages..tip for those coming here to live, check out the local markets..not the supermarkets… in fact i have learnt a lot in the last few months more than i did in a year on my own here. you need a friend who speaks romanian and english to get on quicker for sure…thankfully mine is also my partner now….

Fishing news

well i will let you know about the new lake i found next week but trout are down deep in the river at the moment due to the cold.

traffic report…

well road works bug the hell out of me at the moment and the cows are coming in earlier which is causing havoc…tourists on motor bikes have disappeared but atvs are about now..horses and carts still clogging the streets and 40 ft artics collecting apples are playing a big part in any disruptions. appart from that theres no major problems.

weather report

Freeeeeeezzzzzin and down to zero or below at night max 8c in the day murky and raining and cloud and fog and miserable…time to get the ski gear out and go skiing on muntle mic 6″ of snow already and getting deeper.

more later dudes
