Well, I, too, am still here. It's a good summer, full of new "roots" going down (I mean, some new kinds of English teaching). I set up a 2-week intensive course, and soon I will do a workshop about technology in teaching.

I went up to "Virág's" flower garden just below the "A" building this week. Things are awfully dry, not much blooming. But there is plenty of "bablevelű várjúháj" (Sedum maximum, apparently called orpine in English - but it's really an Eastern European plant). The orpine is doing very well in spite of the intense heat. Hey, translators! How do you say bablevelű várjúháj in English?
