We’re starting to appreciate the South House in the morning. Panelman, where we’re headed, the band from Revúca is just warming up. Guys are traveling here for 20 days. Robots have enough, and they won’t be here soon. They’re asking what we are, they like my ▣ monteurs, and they’re taking a picture with me in memory because they haven’t taken pictures with the judge yet.
Mrs Anička will hesitate to invite us further. It opens the door, and besides it, four other curious eyes look at us. He’s in charge of two grandchildren today. Andrejka and Luka. They go for walks together, for ice cream, and for the store. Lucky, since September, the sophomore tells me Grandma has a cottage in Bzince under Javorina and it’s beautiful. She was there for two days last week because the cottage garden had to be fixed after the storm. It’s brighter than the sun that grandma’s children love her just as much as she loves her drobizg because they’re always squeezing her. On Monday morning, the baby’s sister, Olivia, was added, and she and her grandmother will just look at it. Tomorrow. Right after they cook their favorite pea soup and fantastic pancakes.
Janka’s friend Fraňová remembers her with gratitude. Anika helped her take care of her daughter. When she was 24, she was diagnosed with serious cancer. Anička, as an experienced nurse, knew what to do and where to seek help. Anička spent her last working years in prison surgery. There had to be a little stricter, for some of the patients here would quickly abuse benevolence. The patients were women and men. As he says, you had to get used to the environment and take the job professionally.
