Sick fish

My pet fish Sunny is seriously ill :(. I have done all I could this morning to keep it alive but I am not at all confidence. Its whole body is swollen and all it is doing is sitting at the bottom and breathing heavily. I have been keeping Sunny for 2.5 years now and it was the first fish I bought among the others. I hope it will get well soon.

Summer is over

Summer is coming to the end. The terrible cloudy and raining weather is always over my head now. Even though I have been around for a few years now I am still not comfortable with it (Who can?!) During the summer I actually thought it was the best time of the year to be in the country although half of the local population went away for holiday. Probably that was the reason -- nice and quiet! Buses during peak hours were pratically empty (normally filled with little noisy buggers going out for trips), office was spacious, no colleagues mumbling around my ears, supermarket was packed with goods nicely (don't even try to think it is normal!) and queues were short (incredible!). Although a lot of the shops and restaurants were closed for 1 month (strange enough) for summer holiday, well, who cares? I don't use them very often anyway.

A couple of weeks ago things went back to normal and it started raining. I knew the nice time was over. Just hoping my winter depression is not going to come as soon.

A few things worth while to mention have happened recently:

The trip to Hungary which I started to arrange 1 year ago finally took place and it was super nice! Interesting and charming city and nice food too. Thanks my friend Adrienn and her family to be our guides and companion.

Brian's brother Andy and his wife Erina have got a new born baby Soma on 2/8. A cute one! Congra! We'll pay a visit in Feb 2007. (They are in Japan)

A nice colleague Hedin has resigned and moved to his hometown Faero Island. God rejser!

The ongoing struggle with the customer is still going on and on so the project I have been working on is still hanging. Good that I have got a new assignment on another project to occupy half of my time and it is challenging to me. Nice.
