As promised, the Big Cheese (whom I had put off calling last week, and eventually emailed) called me as promised today and we have arranged a meeting for next week. This is quite a result, not least because most people here seem to take no notice of emails or say they'll call and then don't. So that's good. She did interrupt a very intellectual game of hearts though, which I then went on to lose spectacularly.
Cal, I didn't get your text, but I have a feeling I may have given you the UK international dialling code rather than the Romanian one. If you preface the number 0040 rather than 0044 maybe that will work.
In other news, I forgot to blog yesterday that following last Sunday's rather lovely 10 minutes outside the Orthodox Cathedral listening to the choir and the chanting, I thought I'd do the same yesterday. Unfortunately I got there about 15 minutes later than last Sunday, and got there for the sermon instead. Which sadly wasn't the same at all. Oh well. That'll teach me.
