Juchuu!!! Gewonnen!

Finally, we've won our first gold medal! I don't care if we won't get another one, I'm just ridiculously happy that we won't finish the Olympics without one. That would have been the first time in the history of modern Olympics (the ones on which we started anyway), and thus a serious blow for our national pride... such as it is in these days.

In other news, we survived the latest national holidays without any atrocities for a change. It was August 20, the 1008th anniversary of Hungary's existence as a country. Perhaps the hooligans were distracted by the Olympics, or by the particularly spectacular fireworks (Gandalf would have paled with envy). Apparently, the good old Ancient Roman tactic of panem et circenses is still working.

First step of domestic disasters has been managed. The supporting rooms like kitchen, etc., are now beautiful white and clean. Next week the wall-to-wall carpets will be washed in the living room and the bedrooms, which means that the whole packing will start again, this time in the opposite direction, so that the cupboards can be moved out of the way more easily. *le sigh*

Also, school starts next Monday again - assuming I still have my job. These things will always be revealed in the last possible moment. Wish me luck, folks, I'm gonna need it, big time.

Congratulations on the gold! I confess that I've (deliberately) not watched any of the Olympics and don't have any real idea of how my country has done.

Good Thoughts on the job front (and commiserations on the domestic upheaval).
Cheers :)

Thanks for the good thoughts. Your people didn't do too badly, and I fired them on every time I saw them on screen. I only ever watch sports once in four years, but during the Olympics I watch them a lot. I particularly like the swimmers, the drivers and the various athletics disciplines - they have a strange beauty to them, I find.
