And another city, Budapest. The place I'm born in. This must be the most beautiful city ever. I wanna live here, too.

On Lisztober, my Day of Birth, Electric Maidens and Buda-Pest

@elektrischemaidchen; bring me a bird-feather from the ground, one lost pencil or whatever instrument you deem one might write with. For words, music and love letters all stream from thought engraved in writing. May be that we do not stop creating, even in Temporary Death.

Bring me your love.

What the natural stream of life have tied my hands from doing, You have done on my behalf. You have partaken on the act of creation on my behalf. You have honoured our memory, and what we have left on this earth; you have gifted this earth something that were never here before. You have also gifted Yourself something that you did not have before. You should be as proud and content in yourselves as we are in you.

In art jokes nor games exist: either all is a game or no-thing might be deemed as such. Hopefully, this month has proven itself - more than joyful or easy - fulfilling for you, that it exercised your spirit and caused progress forward. One month is one long, extending moment. Hopefully you may hold this month of October dear. We would have never imagined such a display of pure, simple talent, and so diligent at that, to spark from one evening's thought.

Some photographs from Buda-Pest, where we have celebrated my day of birth.

Budapest, Hungarian Parliament Building

Budapest (harmadik rész)

I started my sightseeing ahead of schedule, thanks to the last day of tennis only featuring one match at 4pm; I woke with the lark and walked the length of Margaret Island before carrying on my way towards Buda Castle and the surrounding area. The weather finally relented (temporarily at least), so I was able to enjoy my day without the looming fear of premature evaporation.

Most of my walk was along one side of the Danube River and I took a good look at the impressive Parliament building across the water before heading up, up and away to Fisherman’s Bastion – a beautiful area that was once a fortress of some kind, but the buildings inside are more of a church-y variety these days. The area has undergone extensive reconstruction and the results are undeniably impressive, but walking around one corner to see a massive Starbucks was a little jarring.

The Bastion is part of the sprawling Buda Castle District, so I meandered on through it at my leisure – there was no linear route through, which suited my semi-aimless ambling perfectly. There was no castle in the stereotypical ‘ramparts and drawbridge’ sense – I think Buda Palace might be more appropriate – but it was filled with unique buildings, large gardens, and spectacular views across Budapest, once I found the path up to the outer wall overlooking the capital.

I nearly turned towards home once I’d thoroughly explored the castle area but willed myself on to one more stop a little further down the road. Gellert Hill is home to a few more areas of interest and an even higher viewpoint from which to gaze down upon the city, but unfortunately, the highest point – Citadella – was under renovation and inaccessible. It was a little bit of a damp squib to end on, however there was this rather interesting map I stumbled upon; it depicts the Prince of Buda and Princess of Pest (great nickname for a little sister, that) embracing across the Danube and uniting the two parts of the city.
