Day 46 Law is a law is a law is a low and the missing fashion link between Sarah Jessica Parker and my neighbour

This is just far too much! I`d rather read a hundred pages academic paper in English, than a 10 page document written to the general public in Hungarian about inviting applications. It is full of declaratory statute. I am having a massive headache. Not only a headache, my eyes are burning, too. Seriously, am not surprised about the complaints I hear about the Hungarian style of application guidelines for grants. I went through one of the papers three times, but I still don’t know what the grant is really for, there are no examples, only clauses. I don’t think it is a good idea to have 6 to 10 clauses/page. I have no idea what those clauses are and where to look for them. I didn’t study law and I am sure those to whom these guidelines were addressed neither. This regulation is targeting people in rural disadvantaged areas in Hungary encouraging them to start innovative micro enterprises in order to have a chance to create sustainable livelihoods. The phrasing is ever so complicated and has no suggestions about practical case studies or examples to what people who are not educated in law can relate to. What I love in England is that things are phrased in a way that people can identify with very easily with common sense. There is only one thing that is crystal clear about the document that is giving me headaches and eyes burning, a declaration on the top of each pages of in Block Capital: THE PAPER DOES NOT REFLECT THE VIEW OF THE MINISTER. That is clear!

I went to see mum and had the wonderfully tasty apple and grape soup with cream and Italian tuna pasta. Eszter`s recipe. After we spent some time to look through our vintage clothes, shoes and bag collection. Of course I tried on some of it, the black fake fur coat, the cream colour trench coat I almost forgotten about and some of the shoes. We had great fun.

I had to change the handle of a textile bag, one of my neighbours bought for her daughter, Andi in a second hand shop. She said when I dropped it off, Andi saw Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City with something similar. And now she feels good and cool about being so updated in fashion with a cheap second-hand shop bag. That is just the pure beauty of XXI. century fashion. It is accessible, easily accessible, very easily accessible.
