Blog ZZZZZZZZ

I have been here in this little village for a while now; each morning, lying in our snug bed, we evaluate the pressures and priorities of the day, and I am interested to see how a good  lie in prevails in the presence of so many things to do. We have been battling to make progress here; now we accept the inevitable slowness of the Slovenian process, and lie in easily, rarely getting up early unless an appointment somewhere has been ordained by some official. Everything starts at 7am here, as, in our timezone, we're among the first countries to get the rising sun; so the working day usually ends at three for the office workers and administrators; it makes one wonder at daylight saving in a timezone as wide as Central Europe....but that is one of the useless facts of life... and I just looked at the time on this computer and it read 23.23.23.... and we need to get up early tomorrow to 'work instead of play', as there is the annual wine parade, where you pay €8 and get a glass and walk around the entire region with your engraved glass and drink EVERYONE'S wines, and some of them will be only 3.5 weeks old, and I frankly prefer to try them in a year or two, but there will be between 600 and 800 people on this walk, and I just don't fancy being the linguistically challenged drunk that I'm sure will be the fate of most folks tomorrow.... so we'll mix concrete and do heavy work and feel self righteous about it I'm sure.... Nuff said.
