Home, Sweet Home

I haven't really been online recently, but I have my reasons. Very good reasons, actually.

Last Tuesday I came home to Hungary to visit my family. I arrived to the airport around midnight and spent the following day in Budapest to meet some people. I finally obtained the Hungarian translation of Tolkien's Beowulf and I even got it signed by the translator, who is a very good friend of mine. One more book I can't wait to read - I think I've got too many plans realted to books for this year. I'm about to reread Terry Pratchett's full Discworld series as well, which means, oh gosh, 41 volumes.

Anyway, I finally arrived to my hometown, and it was quite a good feeling to see how much I was missed, my mom even baked biscuits with "hiányoztál" (which means "I missed you" in Hungarian) written on them. It literally made me cry.

Also, I met my parents' lovely cats. I've seen them before on skype, but seeing them in real life is different, I can pat them and all, and they get my clothes covered in cat hair :'D

Too bad my entire holiday at my parents' house is actually about getting prepared to go back to Ireland. I need to buy many things to bring them abroad, and next week I'll spend a whole day in town to arrange some official things. I wish I could just leave them until next time, but unfortunately I can't.
