Photos of the day

Mina 1 Mai today

1. In the flat there are no leaks at all, it was quite clean, water and electricity running.

2. Old fire place is not dismantled is still there.

3. according to the head nurse yes the hospital uses the flat for cooking, including John and Cristina, and other patients too and staff too. They cook whenever they have the possibility, got money to get food.

4. The kitchen is still there but not for cooking. They receive there the food from the catering company and they are putting into plates and than distribute it for the dining room. Also here, they are washing the dishes, plates after used for the meals.

5. The food is delivered 3 times per day morning, noon and dinner. It is delivered by the catering company, with their vehicle, right at the kitchen, from there the food is received by the kitchen staff, put into plates and distributed. From Monday till Saturday this goes the same. On Sunday they deliver 2 times only: in the morning and also in the noon. But in the noon they deliver cold food for the dinner, what is going to be given out by the staff for dinner. This is the only cold meal in the week.

6. They deliver hot meals, and hot soups, so there is no need for reheating the food. Sometimes they even come very hot.

7. Tools are available for the summer team. The carpenter has been already in holiday, and anyway when the team shall be here he will be there too, so there will be full access to the carpenter workshop. The mixer is down in the boiler room, scaffolding will also be available.

8. I saw the site at the back of the hospital and everything is there as we left in April, also the metal bits are all there, nothing missing.

9. I took some photos for Wendy at the morgue, I will put them on my blog later on today with more photos. basically looks the same, no air vent installed.

10. I have informed the head nurse about the exact dates of the arrival and departure of the team. Told her that we will only use the flat for accommodation, not the school, and do as promised the drying shelter area at the back.

11. Told her that the Mormon couple from Bucharest will be there too in the same period

12. I have asked her to prepare it to be clean and tidy the flat for your arrival.

13. The head nurse told me that food is not so good like it was cooked before in their own kitchen and also sometimes is less quantity too.

14. The head nurse told me that Dr. Dima had a big accident a week ago, he was hit by a taxi on the pedestrian across and he is in coma since, not sure if he will remain alive.

15. They are happy for the new washing machine as it runs smoothly and so well.

16. John the patient finished the decorating downstairs, now he does a room across the street, and then they will repair some steps to the hospital.

17. I was also at the school, met Garofita, and surprised to see the whole building repainted by the mayor's office last week, in yellow. The walls were repaired and painted, but the concrete out is still there.

18. Learned that Garofita's husband is well again, and is back on the lorry.

19. been in Codlea at the shop but did not met the owner there. I have received his mobile number and will call him.

20. Been also at Hornbach shop to see and check available materials (wood and zinc coated panel) we need for the drying area, sizes and prices.

Who's fault is it, this time?
