Due to the increasing number of accidents,

a new law is about to be issued this days in Romania regarding winter time driving. The bigger vehicles must have winter tyres from this November and all the cars must have winter tyres from next year, to prevent winter time accidents. This is a new law which will have an impact on all drivers... who wants to drive during the winter. Besides the winter tyres is recommanded to have chains for tyres and sand as well.

Box posted

Today at noon I have been in Mina 1 Mai again. Got the box of decorations and took to Brasov where I already posted it to UK. It's weight is 13.265 kg. It contains all the Christmas decorations which are made by the hospital occupational therapy. It will arrive to UK in 7-8 days.

Yesterday,

Amadea was 4 years old. We'll celebrate it on Sunday afternoon.

Today,

Karina is going on a school holiday to a village named Sandominic Ciuc, about 130 km north from Brasov, for 2 days. This means that she is sleeping over there. That will be for the first time for her. This is organized by the school.

From the beginning of September,

we have a new pastor in our church. He is a young man, just finished his studies and recently married. We wish that may the Lord bless his work in Brasov and the area.

Mid October Update

The new poultry farm is getting finished and a new road will lead towards it.They will have turkeys there too.


I have checked the school and the kindergarten. The walls are indeed worse than ever. It must be the result of the concrete layer. I was told that they would like in the kindergarten a new clothes hanging area for kids, right there at the corridor, and prevent the outdoor clothes to be brought in. They have started something in this area but as you can see in the photos, is a rather temporarily measure. Perhaps this is a summer job for the team.

The flat house is almost finished witht he roof tiling. There was one worker there making adjustments. How safe is he up there? As you see we can consider the job done. Although when the old tiles were removed it was raining and a little bit the ceiling of the flat was wet, but it will be OK soon. John promised that he will paint the ceiling.



The hospital has a new phone now and a new phone number. The old one is no longer valid.

The OT ladies have made a lot of Christmas decorations. There are about 300 pieces now. They are nice, mostly made of plaster. I doubt that all will fit into one box. I told them it is important to be wrapped up properly, due to the transport. As we discussed they will have the box ready by the 25 October, and than I post it to UK.
