We have reached the middle of June and this week was not without events.
Our Sun is still relatively "quiet", on June 10 there was an X1.5 and an M9.7 solar flare, since then there have been smaller and bigger C and M flares.
On Sunday 9th of last week, the European Union representative elections were held across Europe, the results of which had consequences in 2 countries.
French President Emmanuel Macron has decided to dissolve the French National Assembly and call early elections for the end of the month due to his defeat in the election. It should be known that Macron is one of the most unpopular politicians and it is a miracle that he is still "alive" and at the head of the country. The question here will be whether he will rig the election or let the opposition Marine Le Pen's party win.
Belgian Minister Alexander De Croo also resigned due to his defeat in Sunday's elections.
In Hungary, the "orange Fidesz" is still trendy, but they don't have a worthy opponent, since "our beloved leader" "executes" all his opponents, while his country suffers due to high prices, inflation and low wages, deteriorating education and healthcare and I didn't even talk about corruption (NER).
Until now, Ukrainian and now Filipino guest workers are being brought to the country to fill the jobs, as many Hungarians go abroad to work for a normal wage. The disadvantage of this was that many workplaces would rather hire guest workers than employ Hungarians. The trouble starts when the Filipino workers are already dissatisfied with the low wages. I must also add that Hungarian workplaces (respect to the exception) treat them in a very inhumane manner. Many people take advantage of them because they don't speak the language, they can't stand up for themselves (fear of losing their jobs), and thus they take full advantage of them. However, it can be heartwarming when Hungarians stand up against the treatment of guest workers and help them, rather than adopting the "I didn't see or hear anything" attitude.
"Treat others as you would like to be treated."
Austrian politics is a different story, here ministers come and go, and on average people are not satisfied with the leadership.

Politics to me is like a snake pit, you can't tell who is the venomous and the harmless snake, who dances to which snake charmer's music, who hisses and sticks out his tongue the best, and who is the biggest of them all. The real power belongs to the snake charmer, who is the master of these animals and knows how to catch and make harmless of them. I would be curious if these background power figures would disappear, what would do these masterless people who sit at the head of the countries ... maybe like headless snakes they would writhe for a while and it would be over, or they would fall on each other and there would be a new division of power...
It is likely that this year we will see more heads falling in the dust on the world's political stage and events are coming that conspiracy theorists have been warning about for years. The battle is still on for the world's resources and people. The only question is how loud and fear-inducing it will be, and how many people who are still sleeping will wake up. People are becoming more and more dissatisfied on a secular level in all areas, and I don't think that "entertainment - circus aka sports events" will be enough as a diversion for a long time.

I would also like to thank you for helping me choose my next x-stitch project in last week's weekend vibezz post. I´m very appreciate it :) The fox and the wolf won by a landslide. I will order these two. I usually order more than one at a time, as the delivery fee is a bit steep on my favorite site.
If you are European or living around Germany, I can recommend this site (I usually order from here), where there are a lot of stewing products and accessories, and they always update their products.

I have a story for this week...
I got a kind pen pal from the Philippines. I have never spoken to anyone from there before, and I confess I knew nothing about this country. We exchanged quite a lot of messages, through her I got to know a slice of that life and learned more about this country and she also about my countries, and one day I decided (nudges) to fulfill her dream, which she mentioned once or twice. I have never sent a package outside the EU, so this became a new project of mine.
This is her dream / desire, for me it's ordinary - European chocolate. Since imported products are expensive for them, and she supports her family alone, she wanted to taste those at least once more in her life.
I bought them, I intended to send three, but I changed my mind and added two more chocolates to the package, because the price of sending the package was four times higher the price of the chocolate anyway.
For the first time in my life, I filled out customs paper, put airy packaging material in the package so that those chocolates wouldn't break, put them in a plastic bag, wrote a small handwritten greeting card, taped the package neatly around and handed it off.
I asked spirit and the universe to take care of the package and that my dear friend on the other side of the world would receive it successfully.
The Austrian post office was very fast, the package arrived in Manila within four days of dispatch. From then on, it was in the hands of the Philippine Post. The parcel successfully passed through customs, and then headed to the other side of the country.
We checked the tracking code online every day, but it was always the same that it was on its way. My pen pal often went to the post office to inquire about the package, and almost a month after it was sent, an e-mail came saying that she had finally received it.
Oh, if that package could talk...I wonder what it went through to got it there.

This week I was drinking my usual cinnamon coffee after waking up while I was browsing my e-mails in the kitchen, I saw that an e-mail came from her. I was so happy that she finally got the package, but as I read forward the mail and looked at the photos, I burse into cry.
