Vet Saturdays ...
I don't think many people out there have the 'privilege' to enjoy Saturday afternoons at work from time to time.. but there you go, for us, the vets, that's part of life... Not the nicest, though! So this is why I'm posting on the blog at 4.30pm on a sunnny Saturday, because I'm actually in the practice where I work, unlike the happy British people roaming around and feeling hot with these unbelievable 18 degrees that have come as a surprise after a 'summer' with mean temperatures of 15 degrees. And there you go, the phone rings... I'll leave you all until tomorrow, cause it will be Sunday, won't it? - and of course I'm working until 6pm... ghrrrr... :))

Sziget fest 2008
10-18 Aug, a week of fun!
If you're looking for a holiday to relax and rest, than surely Sziget festival is not the place to go! The festival takes place on an island on the Danube and this year reached it's maximum number of visitors, more than 385 000 peoples, most of them Hungarians and French.
The usual Sziget fest day starts with drinking your coffee as you stand in line for showers, which takes about 20 minutes of standing in the hot hot sun. The water should be hot but the boilers are no match for the huge filthy croud.
:))
Then u can visit Budapest, or go to the supermarket to buy food, or stay on the island where there are many things to experience, like drawing, making your own earings or clothing from recycled materials, body painting, bunjee jumping, climbing, visit the luminarium or different exhibitions, shopping and so on.
Starting 3:00 p.m. there are live performances to go to, on more than 10 different stages, so there's plenty to choose from and no way to see everything you'd like. Among others, we saw Alanis Morisette, Goran Bregovic and REM. After 00:30, the best party is at Roma tent, where everybody's dancing like crazy on Gipsy rhythms, performed mostly by East European Bands.
After that, you can either dance all night (you've got many discotheques to choose from) or go to sleep..
..home sweet home!
To conclude, I definitely recommend it to all party lovers out there ;)

Post hurricane
From the category "all is well when ends well" so was hurricane Gustav, at least as the Cayman Islands are concerned. Everybody was super prepared, and all activity has ceased during the storm. Winds of up to 70 km/h, some rain, water level rising quite a lot, but in the end, all finished without consequence and the sun is out again. And so are the usual invited visitors, like this huuuge male crab from the above picture.
