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,

the old one expired on 10 November.
I bought a new one which is valid for another year.

Visiting Mina and Codlea

Just arrived home from Mina 1 Mai and Codlea.

Did the following today:

- being at kindergarten, given some second hand clothes for poor children in Mina 1 Mai

- at hospital, delivered the dental items to the dental surgery, as I did yesterday the shopping according to her list

- made a list of the objects (tools) we have lended to the carpenter

- met the head nurse and the doctor in Mina 1 Mai

- being at Rafael foundation in Codlea and had a chat there.

The Rafael Foundation in Codlea

The car needs

a new induction coil and a new set of spark plugs, after been checked in the garage.

L.E: this has been taken care of, now is repaired and runs OK.

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.
