The iridescent beetles are back beautiful but very clumsy :D
Oh My Goodness, its Hot, Hot, Hot!!!!!!! 35c minimum each day, in the last three days & today (Tuesday) promises to be just as hot, it's already 19c at 9am .:D I know I keep on but I am still in UK mode & don't expect it to be nice let alone hot! When everyone is asleep in the afternoons I am sunbathing or gardening depending on severity of the sun as in England it could be the last good day lol!
Not much has happened over the last couple of days……..
We have no electric AGAIN, two days now. It goes off at 8.45am till aprox 5pm So no internet & I tried putting the dishwasher on this morning but it didn’t finish in time L Thank goodness I have a gas hob & kettle as the coffee keeps coming J
The cats are mostly in all except Custard who stupidly went off just before we got the dogs up from the paddock on Sunday. They are all in the cool of the house & the dogs are moving around getting what little shade there is till we can put them under the tree’s.
We went to buy the wood for a fence yesterday but there was only a ¼ of a cubic & they tried to charge us for ½ cubic so we came away without & will wait till 15th for the next lot, Pffff, They think because we cant speak fluent Bulgaski that we are stupido!!! We want the cut trees with the bark attached to make a taller fence around the perimeter in the paddock to stop Sophie jumping over & Reggie throws himself over to follow her. Now Sophie is loved & accepted by the neighbours but everyone is scared sh**less of Reg & will hurt or kill him. This means we cant let them roam loose down there, such a shame as it’s a dogs paradise so it’s very important to get it done! We also have to do it up at the house as we have a small wall then wire fence around the top which separates the back & the garage from the main house & front & side gardens. Sophie bounds over the top of this like a ballet dancer & does cat watch through it too. When she see’s or hears a cat she jumps over & chases it so we need it for their peace & tranquillity too. We got the idea from Steff’s hotel when we picked up Reggie. It does the job & looks good too very rustic!!! It will fit in nice with the fence Nigel has built for the Lilies, Chesum & Pumpkin & whatever else may get planted there, as the dogs decimated the area, they liked to fight on it.
We went into Gorna Oryhovitza to do the monthly shop yesterday (Monday), I hate spending so much money in one go & only go when we absolutely have to, unfortunately we had run out of cat food so it was a must! Did pick up 5 very good geranium plants for 1 lev each (less than 50p) so tomorrow its Polski market again to get cheap plant pots.
\Today I will do more weeding round tortoise garden & need to transfer some plants to a shaded area as when the sun hits them they wilt. In the morning they are all perky so dappled shade it is!
This one has paint markings on as we had so many tortoise we needed to know who was who :D
We managed to have coffee in three different places yesterday (Monday) LOL the Piano Bar in Gorna which is lovely. The guy Gino lived & had a business in Florida for 10 yrs & speaks good English. His family were very wealthy till communism took over & his grandfather lost everything except their house which is one of the largest in Gorna. He went to different countries to work & send the money back here to try & get the family back where it had been but gave up & came back to his birth town in 08. He has made a fantastic bar top which depicts a Piano. He is a very friendly guy too & its always a pleasure going there for coffee & a chat! The funniest was at the builders merchants but we had the best hot roll for lunch there, Ham & Cheese in a soft sesame seed long roll with two Nescafe 3in1 coffee’s came to 4 leva 45 stotinka (£2).
We went to Polski Trambesh after shopping & while we were having coffee in the piazza I noticed a shop which I am not sure was there before, being nosey I went in to have a look as it had garden plants outside & I could see house plants inside, so 2 + 2 = 4 a flower shop….. No, what I came out with was two new bra’s!!!! Well Hurrayyyyy as I have had only one bra since January, having had all my underwear nicked along with all my good clothes in UK. Not being a petite bra size it’s a bit difficult here as their sizes are all a bit Boris Karloff! Mind you I haven’t tried these on yet :D
On the drive home Nigel decided to try & pull up a small bush that I admire, well it may look small till you pull then its attached to a rather large tree like bush, as they start off down a ravine LOL still the view was lovely. Its really lovely to get out of the car/van along the lanes as we just drive through on the way home, I do really appreciate it but not like when you get out & are among it all with the many different species of birds & the birds of prey. We found a huge patch of wild strawberries will have to look out for them soon!
