Some headlines in national newspapers,

caught my attention today. One it would be the possibility for Great Britain to say NO for the EU, and the country to leave the European Union. The other is even more interesting. As Prince Charles declared recently that he is a descendant of Dracula, there are people over here, who actually see Prince Charles, the future king of... Romania!
But all these are part of the future.

List of names

In the past years we used to give each patient from the Hospital a Christmas card at Christmas, and an Easter card at Easter, all these cards personalised to the name of each patient. For doing this, we always need the updated list of patients names. We wish to do the same this Christmas too, and for that reason we are waiting for the new list of patients' names. I was told that it will be ready by today. I am looking forward to get it.

The lesson with the nuts

There is a lesson to be learned with the nuts: alloy wheels need specific nuts and steel wheels need a different type of nuts. At first look they are similar, but they are still different and can not be used on different type of wheels.
We have first fitted the steel winter wheels with the alloy nuts, took some photos but in a few moments later bought new nuts for steel wheels. And there is a difference which can be seen from the photos, not mentioning the safety.
The new nuts:

New wheels needed

Unfortunately needed 4 new steel wheels for the car because the previous ones were not made for Ford. The good news is that the tire is exactly what we needed, and those wheels I got in fact for free, did not paid them, so we did not lost any money.
Yesterday and today had to look at several places, until I found some in Sacele.
I bought these second hand ones today for 350 lei (all 4).
The black ones are the ones I bought today, the grey ones are the painted ones from last time.
I have cleansed the new ones as well, and put the anti rust liquid on them. I will paint them too.
 And after cleaning them:

The painting is finished at morgue

Big accident at Timisu de Sus

Today at noon a famous Romanian TV show presenter had an accident at Timisu de Sus, near Brasov.
There is an inquiry but the facts are: 2 people died, and a few injured. One persone severly injured.
The cause of the accident: illegal overtaking of the TV presenter, going on the other side of the road, and frontally hitting a Dacia Logan. It was cold, raining and snowing in the area. The accident took place next to the Timisu Hospital.
This raises a big issue: the roads of Romania are bad, there is an urgent need for motorways, as too many people die on the Romanian roads. Also a bad habbit of Romanian drivers: overtaking in places with no visibility, which is illegal, extremely dangerous.

Winter tires

Yesterday I got 4 winter tires and got them with the wheels as well. For a very good price. These are all second hand ones, brought from Germany.
Than I used a wire brush to clean them and than an anti-rust liquid. Than a silver spray for the outside of the wheels and a red oxide for the inside of the wheels. I continued the work today, just finished and wait for the paint to dry.
