We have come back down to Ber on the bus, so we couldn't carry much food with us. Never mind, we thought, we'll raid the freezer. Well, it is getting more and more difficult to do that on account of the hard winter and Roy's reluctance to use the car on these dreadful roads when it is thick with snow and ice. Road clearing is a thing of the past, so it is pretty lethal to travel on them, especially around the village and for about 15k beyond.
Anyway, we carried as much as we could the rest came out of the poor freezer, which is getting emptier and emptier by the day. Roy managed to dig out his last 4 sausages, ate 3 of them for dinner and is looking forward to the last one put into a sandwhich some other time. My fish, as you can see, is looking splendid. It is called pangasius, no idea what that is in English, but spiced up with salt, pepper, mixed herbs and a bit of garlic and then baked with a little bit of butter in the oven, it was delicious.
The fuss over the new Media Law rumbles on. The EU still doesn't give a monkey's ... about Orban flirting with the extreme right and all things are great in the presidency of the EU. I have just read this morning that some parts were left out of the English translation of the law as sent to Brussels, including a directive of not really putting it into effect until after Hungary handed over the EU presidency to Poland in July.
It will be interesting to see what happens in 2011 when the economy does not recover, or it might do so slightly, but nowhere near the expectations of the masses who put this rabble into power in the spring. Decent people are still keeping their heads down, but a few are beginning to lift theirs and are making a stand. That is hopefully the beginning of something good that might offer resistance to this despicable shift to the right.
