very relaxing few hours in thermal baths and green pub.
where tommi came to deliver the sewing machine foot, and news that eleven wild swans died of bird flu, just across the river.
oh dear, probably the same ones I saw floating majestically in single file along the kis danu last week. the immediacy of fatality. scary.

didn't get close or touch any of the birds, but guess drinking bottled water is probably a good idea, and not eating any poultry makes sense too, although they say it's hard to get from cooked chickens. but hey a new pandemic you never know. not that I'm hysterical, far from it - just cautious - and hmmmm it is very close to home right now :)
