Hanneke in the blizzard

wednesday 00:03

mikey the head of vadas thermal baths drops off tickets for me as promised - on condition I promote them in australia - no problem!
they truly are worth the trip to sturovo if you're over this way :)

hanneke visits from budapest and we spend the day hanging out
she tells me wonderful stories in a day of talking about everything
how when the border was closed, people would get up early at 5am
go down to the river and whisper messages across the water
the sound carries very clearly - how are you, the baby has grown, sometimes codes and subversive contacts - others, general gossip

we walk down to the bridge in what i think is a blizzard
she laughs and tells me this is nothing, you australians!!
the snow today is much softer and bigger than yesterday
like feathers... cotton wool snagging on branches it dissolves

the night whispers to me
