I'm thinking about time, once again. Weeks have been passing by at full speed.

As I suspected, my roommate has changed... Now I live with a Polish girl, her boyfriend finished working here because of his university studies at home, so we share our room until the end of the year. She is a "talking type", she's talking to me even when I'm reading...

By the way, reading. I have just finished a very special book by a Spanish writer, Carlos Ruiz Zafon: The Shadow of the Wind. Set in the 50's Barcelona, it unfolds the story of a writer, as a boy is trying to find out what had happened to him. And of course, much much more.

I've "met" my second cousin on the web yesterday. I have last seen her when we were children. She lives in America. I'm still thinking about this, I mean about our meeting.

I heard of a good friend, she and her boyfriend have just returned from Spain. They were walking for about a month the so called Camino, a special pilgrimage road of 800 kms leading to Santiago de Compostela. She wrote that to be at home again is like waking from a beautiful dream. I'll tell her that now she has to live that dream...

'Till next...

Hello my dear Friends,

I'm finally back...

All my apologies for this long break. I imagine you have been already very curious about my life, haven't you? :-)

Well, I'm not going to tell anyone how the story of Harry Potter has ended. Very interesting, though, I do recommend it for reading!

I'm still and already back to Scotland. As you may remember, I was very much looking forward to my holidays at home. It turned out to be very enjoyable, very exciting and - very short. I took it as a present that I could enjoy a week of real summer (that's all I had of it this year), and my whitened skin (a la Scotland) has got a little yellowish tan at least. You don't know what a nice feeling it was to walk in sandals!!!

I was very sorry not to be able to meet more of my Budapest-friends, but time and my "schedule" at home wouldn't let me this time.

And now, everything is back to usual. Our own little "Muppet Show" at the hotel still goes on (since "the show must go on" as Freddie Mercury once sang very wittyly). The season is still on with lots of guests, sometimes even from abroad. In the kitchen now we have a radio. Our pixie-cook has taken it in, and he (and it means, we as well) is listening to it louder day by day. It's the second month now that I'm sharing a room with - well, first with a Japanese, and now with a Taiwanese girl. I wonder who'll be the next?

One of my latest Scottish discoveries is a band called Runrig, actually they come from here, from the Highland. They draw from the local historical, political and national heritage. As my 60 year old mathemathician friend commented on it, it is a "bit like Led Zeppelin and a bit like Red Hot Chili Pepper".

So, any comments this time? They are very welcome!
