January Update

All work and no play is making me a very dull (and depressed) boy indeed.

Back in Bucharest - January 12/13 2008

Back in Bucharest having missed the big snowfall, but with the temperatues below freezing it's all staying around.

The roads are open (just) although some cars have just been left snowed in as the pictures show from outside the apartment and down "my" road.

I did venture out on Saturday but really shouldn't have as before the sun broke through around mid-day it was very cold. Also the clearance of snow is limited to the odd plough on the roads - also the reason some cars are pretty much buried - the pavements are left blocked and some are getting quite treacherous.

Thankfully I haven't found myself sitting in the snow yet.

So it's been a weekend indoors keeping warm and trying to do more lovely work - I hope they aren't long winters here!

Christmas and New Year 2007

Struggled through to Christmas with the "office" cold and spent Christmas Day with some colleagues. A distinctly un-Christmassy lunch at one of the hotels followed by mince pies and kids games at the home of the boss.

Came home on the 28th and spent New Year's Eve with Russ and Nev down in Mynydd Bach Y Glo. New Year's Day meant a trip to see the Mighty Bluebirds at the real home of football, and a good start to 2008 with a win on my first use of the season ticket! And courtesy of Nev I finally get my face on the blog.

It's back to Bucharest on the 7th with a suitably large supply of Welsh cakes.
