Sinaia,Romania

Apart from learning the language and finding out that Romanians as a whole are a very friendly bunch, We've been discovering the joy of affordable skiing and skating. Both were attempted for the first time last weekend and I am happy to report no signs of any permanent damage to the family (despite Pickwick and the Bossy Baby's best attempts to drive us round the bend with 163 'are we there yet?'s and the Baa Lamb trying his best to demonstrate that the best way downhill was on your behind).
Also managed to click a few pictures along the way. Enjoy!
I, meanwhile, have to return to doing the laundry and making peace with the fact that we have come home to an empty refrigerator and no chaat walla in sight. *sigh* Also, school runs. *sigh*

The Sun hitting the Carpathian mountains in the morning

Our sleighing slope. We decided to get into the spirit by pretending to be Lugers

No city in Romania is complete without one of these. 

Dawn

...and the street lights go off

PS: Also got a book review over the weekend. Might want to check it out here. Until next time, Luni Fericit!

Readings from The Mother of all Books

So apparently, I need to urge people to buy the book. Tempt them (hence the Goodreads contest). Lure them (hence the pictures of various bookshelves on my Facebook page. Yes, I have a Facebook page. You can stop laughing now). Also, apparently (apparent to whom I'd like to ask. Definitely not to me. Or to all six of my blog readers- the number of readers, BTW has practically doubled overnight!), much like films, it needs trailers. Bits and bobs of what's in a book. So that's where these come in.
Have a look. Be intrigued (by the content, please, NOT by the poor editing skills or bad delivery). Then, go forth and BUY!
