blackmagic Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Glad the morphine is helping. The sun is shining this morning and a nice breeze, although on the cool side. My son who lives in Romania now is selling his flat here so I spent Tuesday afternoon , with my other son, clearing the clutter before the photographer takes photos. He used the flat for holidays and when he visited the firm's head office here and a friend used to check it and spend weekends in it. Now he can stay with mum so can use the money to buy in Romania. I collected a load of washing which is now out on the line and should dry. I get my new lighter ironing table today so can test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmagic Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 He is in Timisoara. He loves it there. His partner says that scenery in Scotland is like Romania but Scotland is greener Her parents visited a year ago and her father exclaimed about the numerous shades of green in the countryside. They only have green grass for about a month as it is either too cold or it is too hot. Their summer temperature can be 30-40 degrees but winter can go down to minus -20. Transylvania ( Dracula's home) is in Romania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmagic Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 That was under the communist rule which ended with a revolution in 1989 When my son started working there he said the biggest problem was the workforce would only do exactly what they were told to do. They would not use their initiative as under the communists they were not allowed to think for themselves. He tried to encourage them to think things through and find solutions. When one girl did this the rest told her she was not to do that. He had to persuade them that that was what he wanted them to do. There is still massive poverty in parts of Romania- the Roma people . Some live in tunnels or under bridges. When Romania joined the EU travel to other nations was possible. Many came to Scotland. Dana told us that the ones who travelled were the less desirable members of society as they were the people who had the courage to do so after the restrictions of a communist upbringing. They were responsible for the reputation that Romanians got for committing crime. She said these people were not liked in Romania either. She can remember being told as a child not stand at a window as it was dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
