The latest subject,

is a new charity car from next year. It must be reliable, with enough space and in very good condition.

Saturday,

25 September is the day of the NNRT meeting in UK.

Mina visit

Today I have been at the village. Have visited the hospital, and met the dentist at work. Many patients were queing for her, which is good, she has got a lot of work.

The work on the roof has started on this Monday. I have found a team of workers up there, and the chimney above the flat was already knocked down.

I asked John to help me and all the materials from the attic which belongs to the charity we put in the flat in the dining room. I did that for the team of workers have enough room to do the roof, and also to have all our things together, not to lose anything. They are using proper signs to show that people are working above and keep off.

Apparently they promised the head nurse that within 2 weeks they will do the whole job. The cost of this I will inform you privately.

Had a lovely day, a lot of sunshine. The OT has already started to make things for the Christmas tree. We've been thinking of a banana box to be filled properly by the 1st of November.

There are 6 new puppies there around the hospital about 1 week old.

Also near to the junction with Vulcan road there are building now a poultry farm, as I have been told, a private business. Also the rear drying area, what we did this summer was full with clothes. It is used to the maximum capacity.

MOT for car

has finally passed, although it was clearly said that this is the last one, due to the rusted bodywork.

The car's new MOT

The first MOT failed on Wednesday. Than I took to the garage for a proper repairing. Will see at the second MOT tomorrow.

Driving in Brasov

From today, we officially can drive with 60 km/h speed in Brasov, with 10 km/h more than before. And towards the outside of Brasov around the Hornbach shop the speed is now 70 km/h, which is 20 km/k more than before. Just hope that the number of accidents will not raise.

Visit at Mina today

- I have told the head nurse that in November you are planning to send over a load of clothes for patients, just as you promised
- told the head nurse that it would be a good idea for them to make Christmas decorations 4-6 inches to be able to hang them on Christmas trees, it can be knitted, sewed, or any material use their imagination, crosses, starts, Santa, and I shall collect it put in a box and send it to UK and NNRT is willing to sell those and the money will return to the hospital. I have told this both to the head nurse and to the OT lady. They seemed to like the idea. I gave them deadline till 1 November to make those things.
- visited the OT room and told the same to OT lady
- visited the laundry and the washing machine now works, but apparently it's reparation it cost about 600-700 pounds for the pieces made in Italy and for the labor.
- visited the flat and it was OK
- they did not started the work on the roof yet.
- brought with me the kitchen clothes Vanessa left with me, which are washed and brought them back to the flat
- gave sweets to Costica who was very cheerful
- find out the at the director was very pleased with both shelters you made this year both of them are very useful for them, as they are now, the back one for drying clothes and the front one for patients for socializing.
- the lady from the sewing room was asking if we can provide for anti mosquito nets for the rest of the windows.
-Checked the school too, all was fine.
The weather is very hot these days in Romania we had bout 40 C in Bucharest and 33C in Brasov area.

There are new curtains at the sewing ladies windows we fitted.
