what you get here

This is not a blog which opines on current events. It rather uses incidents, books (old and new), links and papers to muse about our social endeavours.
So old posts are as good as new! And lots of useful links!

The Bucegi mountains - the range I see from the front balcony of my mountain house - are almost 120 kms from Bucharest and cannot normally be seen from the capital but some extraordinary weather conditions allowed this pic to be taken from the top of the Intercontinental Hotel in late Feb 2020

ALL THE LATEST

This was the week I renewed my Romanian citizenship, entitling me to live in the country for the next three years. Anticipating a long wait - with gigantic queus at the HQ of the Immigration Ministry in Strada Militarie - we had first sought an interview with the Head of the Immigration Authority to plead our difficulties with downloading the relevant papers (some 8 in number). 

In the event, it proved to be a very useful decision – the whole process took about 
half an hour, although it will be a month before I receive the relevant certificate.
