Complaints and fun

Yesterday we spent a really interesting afternoon at Pécs. I also reinforced my dubious reputation of making complaints everywhere.

The lake at daytime

We decided to check out the frozen lakes in daylight, too, so we went for a short walk and made some photos. Unfortunately, I was not really in the mood and I was really cold, too, so we just walked around the smaller lake. However, the task is done.
This is the most interesting photo from [...]

Some experimental holiday photography I.

One evening we had a walk around the two lakes near the house. Since it was snowing for days, everything was covered by snow, so it was surprisingly bright outside. I tried to make some photos, and I was surprised to make fairly decent images.

Double Christmas

For me, Christmas Eve is certainly one of the most important moment of the year. Usually I spend the time with my most loved ones; we are having fun together and think of nothing else. We put our problems aside and are happy to be together.

At first I was [...]

The very best very first day

I know it was just my first day, but I simply love my new job. I have to work together with streamlined professionals, on  a wonderfully complex and interesting field. I have my own office, my own telephone number, my own, brand-new e-mail address. I even got a security card to the building, so I [...]

Event-packed weekend

Mission more or less completed, now I only have to close the project: write some summaries, fill out some forms, and collect the money. I am certainly more clever than I was a month ago. I am also ready to take my new job, where, if no disaster happens in the next two days, I [...]
