Nothing much...

This week every day was almost the same, after work we went home and watch for the workers to get the job done in our apartment. Incredible how many little things can make the difference between finishing this week or a week later. Now we had to move to my parents'-in-law house as we practically have no bathroom at home: no toilette, no bathtub, no water running, it's only dirt and dust. Phew! I can hardly wait the cleaning day.
So me and my mother-in-law we're having fun together in the same kitchen. Luckily she'a a nice person and I'm an open-minded girl ;)

So no more privacy...let's hope only for one week...the most!

Have a nice weekend! we're planning only our Sunday as Saturday is working day!

PS: Have I told you we bought a boat ( a rubber one of course)??? Heheh looks nice and it's pretty big too so feel free to join us in an extreme water expedition.

Re-discovering Cluj

Yesterday evening after we "got rid of" the folks working to set up our interior doors, Peter had the idea to do something. We usually get some sweets, some fruits, water and we take his 4x4 Dacia (he got it from work for transporting materials) and we head for nowhere. Yesterday at 20:30 he wanted some "extreme adventure" so we went straight to the Faget forest (very close to Cluj-Napoca). Now whenever he saw a road through the forest filled with mud he would try it. We drove into the woods only us and the birds...and the road got thiner and thiner, we navigated among the trees so close that we barely got onto the other side...chilling at some point as it was getting darker and we were alone in the forest. If we got stuck there we would have to leave the carthere and head for home on foot. The main road is not so far there and now there are plenty of houses built all around, but it would be hard for Peter to explain his boss why the car is stucked in the mud in Faget.
Well, those who know Peter when he's driving need no explanation for what happened next. We got safely at the main road but we've tested another 3-4 similar roads. One just ended up suddenly and we found ourselves alone with plenty of oak trees. Peter was starting to really enjoy at this point....
Anyway hard to describe in words the real feelings...especially in English! ;)
Then we headed for Ciurila (very close by the future highway on the area) anf found a top of a solitary hill and stopped by to eat some sunflower seeds (I guess this is how their translation into English:) in the open-carrier of the car. There were plenty of ATV lovers on the area but the real show was made by....the one and only Peter. Later on he told me that at some point on a very abrupt hill he thought we will roll-over with the car....Imagine my face at that point!
We saw an incredibile sunset up there....I never thought it could be so spectacular and so close to the city (unfortunately no pictures taken).

Then Peter started to drive on the opposite side of the city and I said here we go again...it's not over and it was 10:00 pm. We went to check on the highway construction site...still not finished...only lots of trucks, mud, dust and very bad roads...I mean the road actually dissaperead on the area...it's only a countryside road now. We thought of drinking a hot cup of tea at our friend's new location for the summer, Vlaha. Well we had a cup of wine instead with some very funny friends. Incredible how much energy they had at that time of the day. At 11:30 we headed for home...I gues at 12:30 we got into bed....
Today I'm like the batteries that compete with Duracell rabbit in the well-known comercial.

Have a calm peaceful weekend!

Holidays....

Everybody goes on holidays: Croatia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Tenerife, etc. Hm! I'm quite jelous as we had our summer holiday already in April so until September no holiday for us. Though we have weekends plans:

A must:
1. Go to Suceava to visit Anca, Stefan and David (our godson). I heard is growing up fastly so if I want to recognize him I should pay a visit quickly.
2. Go to Hajduszoboszlo - a nice resort in Hungary (very close to Romania) - with a great aquapark with some friends whcih invited us.

A probability:
3. Go to the seaside, in Medgidia, as Didi - my friend will be working as a judge in the town and we'll have free accomodation near the sea.
4. Go to Balea Lake and drive through Transfagarasan.
5. Buy a boat (rubber boat) and navigate Tarnita, maybe Cris and others.
6. Go fishing with some friends that invited us thousands times. Actually fishing seems boring to me, but Peter seems to enjoy the idea.

As you can see I'm thinking only about pleasure and holidays, no word about work or smth.

But all these have to wait until we finish with our apartment renovation. Long way to go! :(

Have a nice day at work...if you can!;)
