RE: Drawn from the Garden of a Sublime Sunday

in Silver Bloggers3 years ago (edited)

I am far from the edge, I just allow my writing to wander.

I am on the edge. But not that edge. Something else. On the edge of becoming homeless (again). I lost my current rent. I have to find a new rent, and move out of my current rent before 2022.09.10, because the government sold the house. At first it was 2022.08.30, but the mayor gave an extension.

Very hard to find a rent with a Harris's hawk. Almost nobody allows it in their house. After many phonecalls, I successfully arranged a personal discussion for today. Hopefully it will be good. I already know that there is no electricity and no tap water in that house. But I accept that. Even such a house is more than nothing. The house is on the edge of Szolnok, Hungary. So if I will go there, then I will be on the edge again. But at least not the edge of homelessness.

I am currently on a bus to Szolnok, Hungary.

I guess I didn't know it was owned b the government. Not much notice? That is criminal, actually. If they are going to do that, they should at least be responsible enough to find you another place.

Even though she is your pet and you are very attached to her, as a landlord myself, I am not sure what my stand would be on that. On one hand, it is your pet and on the other hand, it is a hawk. I am not saying it is right, but, I can understand it. I want to know how people can rent a house with no water and no electricity. With winter coming, it will put you in another whole position of need. That is shameful for your government. I would not be able to rent my house without electricity or water. (Not that I would, how inhumane!) Unless it is set up to be without, with cooking facilities outside and a well to pump from, how does that landlord expect someone to live? I hope you will continue to look in the meantime.

I am sorry things are messy right now, and I hope that you are able to remedy your situation soon. Make an appointment with the mayor to discuss this. You might not get an appointment, but, your voice might be heard. Go to a newspaper and tell them you want to advertise for a room as you are being displaced.

I had just gone to bed when you were writing this, so I am just getting to it hours later. It was probably about 2:30 am for me. I hope your day worked out and perhaps this man knows of someone that has another place better suited.

Good luck. I hope something positive comes your way.

They gave me one month. This is legal. At least in my country (Hungary).

Many people live like this. Especially in the countryside. They live in deep poverty.

I do, because this house would not be safe.

Good luck. I hope something positive comes your way.

Hopefully. I am constantly looking for solutions, and asking people.

A month is legal here too.
I have no words for letting people live like that. It is not humane in any way.
Yes, you cannot live where they will steal right in front of you. How can your brother's friend even think of it?
Don't you think you can try staying with your sister while you look for a place? It is safe and she is family.
What would make you think Spain is any better?
They have tons of refugees also.

I throw a little holy water at you! I will check your posts to see how it goes.

Have a good day tomorrow!

Unfortunately no. I talked about this with her earlier (months ago), but they would not allow my hawk inside the house, and the outside is not safe for my hawk because of predatory animals (for example foxes). They are using the usable space, so there is no space to build an aviary there.

The local problem in my country (in Hungary) are the gypsies. They are not refugees. They were born here. They live here since I do not know when. Most (approximately 90% of them) are very violent. And they rapidly increase in numbers.

Of course I do not say that Spain would be much more safer, but at least I would not freeze to death in the winter, if I become homeless. And I know that their laws allow anyone to keep a Harris's hawk and any other falcon.

I know about a small group of Hungarian people living in caves since approximately a decade. Maybe the best would be to join them, if I will go there. I also know that they have solar powered electricity to charge their phones, their laptops, and to listen to music. Their place is probably at least somewhat safer than my neighborhood, if no one steal their belongings.

I throw a little holy water at you!

The whole world needs something like that. Thank you.

I know how important the Harris Hawk is to you, but, honestly, she is stopping you from a safe living situation. Have you thought of finding her a kind and loving home where she will be safe? I cannot see you going homeless.

Do you know of these cave people? Or is it something you have heard of? Do you think you can just show up and they will eagerly make room for one more?

I know all about gypsies. Some came to the US and settled in the Northeast in the cities. My mother was terrified of them when she was growing up. Everyone used to say they would steal the shoes off your feet if you stood still! LOL

She is my only enjoyment in life. The only thing I truly love. I do not want to give up her. We have a very close connection. To be honest, I was homeless multiple times in my life, even as a kid. So it would not be an entirely new thing.

Currently I know only one. But they are not in mainland Spain. They are in Tenerife, Canary Islands. I would have to go there by ship from Spain. They have space. I would have to take part in everyday things, which is obvious. I talked to their "leader" on Facebook a few years ago. I see his photos. They are still there.

They are right. Most of the gypsies are barbarous, savage, merciless thieves. I am trying to avoid them, but there are many in my country (in Hungary). As I heard, most of them lives in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. I have not even visited that county so far. It is near the border of Slovakia (Košice Region).
