Wendesday is the bin-day in our street. We have to leave the recycle bin outside on the street and in the morning usually around 9-10 am they will come with a truck and they collect it. At times I forget about it and when I hear the noise of the truck I run like a crazy:)

Our dog Momo resembles a Hungarian Puli. Actually he is a Havanese breed with a special black coat that is slightly wavy. In Spring, he loves being in the garden and exploring all the greens. He is a very harmonious, friendly and wonderful pet and we are both very glad to have him in our family!

+++++ Today’s Hungarian Soup Recommendation: Újházy Tyúkhúsleves

When it comes to spring we eat more salad and other green stuff in Hungary. I love this period of the year.

I can’t wait to feel the first fresh wind of Spring, Two days ago we had something like that in Budapest, but today is again rainy. It has been a long winter so pls send me some sunshine:)

No snow. Just this freezing cold in Budapest. Everything is so sharp, icy and if you open the door of the house that cold wind comes in. brrrrrrrrrr…

We didn’t really had a white christmas night yesterday. In Hungary we celebrate xmas (give presents) on the 24th of December. It was a pretty sunny day but in the evening we had some snow covering the yard a little bit. Happy Holidays:)

In a co-operation with the www.hungarystartshere.com site, starting from today, there will be a new Budapest Quiz. Maybe some of you still remember that last year, Meg (Nelson Daily Photo) and Jazzy (Tuzla Daily Photo) had both won a box of Szamos Marcipán each. This year, we (Zannnie and Zsolt) will offer to the winner a bottle of Tokaji Wine and the www.hungarystartshere.com portal offers one of their Hungary guide books in English.

See more details here.

The question of the 5th week is available here:

5. What is the name of the Monument at the Heroes’ Square?

A, Millenium Monument

B, Heroes’ Monument

C, The monument of the unknown soldier

We post new questions every week. It means for 7 days, we post the same question then we publish the next one. Such way you have a week to find us and to find the right answer:) If you answered this question already, you need not send it again!

The Theme Day in the City Daily Photo family is about books today. I just made it simple and I took a photo of my own bookshelves with the books of my favourite writer: Bohumil Hrabal

Take part in our Budapest quiz and win a bottle of Hungarian wine!:) You can find the details here!
