rock'n'roll

Bt has been known as big fans of rocks (and roll :P) and stones since...forever. It is not just climbing the rocks, or picking them up and putting them carefully in our pockets or into spare caps whenever we walk along coastal lines of our fav continents or hiking up mountains obviously in rain. We are fascinated whatever it is measured up by, size, pattern, shape or colour.


And so it had started when I was a kid and walked around my home country town known as one of the dream-places of a little girl: there is an old and ruiny castle on a top of a volcanic hill (everyone has to climb it once a year, at least!). 


Mocking around a place that has a significant geological heritage, let me with collecting little white stones with beautiful fossils. Unexpected treat of Mother Nature: ancient flora and fauna in my hands. I did not want be a paleothologist, I did not even know what that was back then. It was just an admiration of the "design" and structure of my findings from a preserved world, a couple of micro/macrofossils I reckon. I studied patterns of ancient leaves and curves of invertebrates.


There is a few more days to go and our stuff and stone collection (from AU & NZ) will be shipped to our new home, as we call it The Castle. You are welcome to visit and tap them! ;)
Until then, we feel an urge to discover new places and grab some knowledge on Monoliths2morrow we will be heading to discover the "Henge Area" on the Salisbury-Avebury line, including Stonehenge and the Great Avebury Henge. More to come!

A dudli és az internet

Kedves miszter Michael, ez sokkal jobb volt a dudli nélkül...
Ezen röhögtem egész este, miután egy hete szenvedünk a szupergyors internetünkkel. Ami nincs. Vagyis: hol van, hol nincs. Tegnap Miszter Michael jött tanácsot adni és szerelni, de 2 óra és egy "dudli" (=dongle) beszerelése után sem tudott előrelépni az ügyemben (hubbal és wifivel nem kompátibilis számítógép), úgyhogy lelépett. Aztán én nagy erőkkel nekiálltam internetezni - a másik szolgáltatóval (3), mivel se dudlival, se dudli nélkül nem tudtam felkapcsolódni a falbafúrt, szélesávú hálózatra. 30mbit/sec! -mérte Bé tegnap iccaka kábellel.

Ma: voilá: széles e sáv reggel óta. ;)
