Gift distribution at hospital

This afternoon went out to distribute the NNRT Christmas gifts for the patients. My family helped me doing this, and than the nurses joined and together we distributed all the gifts for the patients. Each patient has received a pair of warm socks, one orange juice and one pack of snacks.
The patients were very thankful for the gifts!
The Christmas cards did not arrived yet, but hopefully they will arrive in the next few days and than I go and distribute those too.
Weather was fine, but it was very foggy, so had to drive slowly. Also noticed that the tent which we erected now is dismanteled for the winter time and it will be put back in the spring. See the below photos taken just a bit earlier today:

Shopping for gifts

Yesterday I did the shopping with my family, of the gifts we shall distribute in the hospital.
This year we bought 150 bottle of orange juice and 150 pieces of 85g snacks from the Metro and also bought 150 pairs of winter socks 100% cotton good quality from the local market. The socks were especially requested by the hospital.  All these funded by the NNRT.
We are ready to distribute these, but... the Christmas cards haven't arrived yet. As soon as they will arrive we are going out. See some photos below.

           that is what each patient will get, plus the Christmas Card.

Mina visit - 23 November

Very cold day. It is rather winter than autumn. Visited the hospital, the dentist and the kindergarten.
Took some photos while there. John is doing the walls insulation downstairs. And already is much warmer there than as it used to be.
The head nurse recommanded to get some socks for gifts if possible in December.

Started with yesterday the kitchen and the storage of the hospital stoped functioning. Now is official: the new catering company brings the food there 3 times a day. The staff still hopes that this is just temporarily measure and the old cooking way will come back, but the chances are quite small for that. At least now...

Sunday

Romania covered by fog, and many road accidents. Some airports closed. Very cold as well.

Road tax vignette,

I bought a new one which is valid for another year.
