Today, my mum had the cataract surgery in Brasov Hospital, hopefully went well, but the bandage will be removed tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon the spin dryer arrived in pieces. There are photos below. The spin dryer was delivered to the laundry. The people who delivered it will start the work on Saturday morning and will finish it on Monday. They will dismantle the existing spin dryer, than they will fit the new one and adding a brand new engine for it. When all is done and running I will pay them and obviously more photos will be added.

Mina in November

2012-11-13T15:09:00.004+02:00

Visited the village, school, kindergarten, hospital and dentist. See below photos made today. It seeems that the floor in the flat where was the stove is very fragile, needs repairing in the future.
Met the head nurse and staff, prepared the visit for Matt and John.

Bought 4 new winter tyres and fitted

Cooler weather

2012-10-23T08:15:00.001+03:00

After a few warm autumn days the weather slowly cools down. In the mornings in Brasov we now have around 0C so I am thinking now on replacing the summer tyres with the winter tyres. Hopefully tomorrow will get the new tyres for the winter. From the 1st November it will be compulsory anyway.

Nice autumn in Mina

Visit to Mina, today

2012-09-24T07:53:00.001+03:00

Just returned from the village where I visited the school and the hospital.
A new thing is that in Codlea, where the junction is, now they are working on the road to make a new roundabout, which actually will help turning left towards Vulcan. The work is funded by the local council.
The second new thing is that on the way towards Vulcan on the left there is a new contruction site huge concrete pillows stand, it looks that a kind of warehouse is built. On the right side there are quite many new solar panels.
Garofita is working in the kindergarten only in second shift. I brought there some clothes and shoes from our children, which shall be given out for the needy village children.
There is a problem in the school-kindergarten's boiler room: the ceiling is about the collapse, needs repairing.
I also brought back to the hospital some of the stuff I borrowed, also some towels are now washed and put back in the secured room.
John A. has done a few decorating work, especially the fence, gate and the building on the right side of the road.
The morgue is just as it was, no ventillation installed and some exterior plastering it would help.
The drying shed stands firmly.
Head nurse welcomed me, told her about the visit of Matt and John in November. She told me that the next big project is for them finding someone who could help in buying the tiles for this building on the right side, as it would need changing of all rooftiles.
Quite nice warm day in September, today.
See the photos below.
