I’m pleasantly surprised that things can blossom despite the dry summer.
North of Sofia Tech Park, no irrigation anywhere close.
This is in the park, irrigation everywhere.

Hundreds of stage trucks
I didn’t have a good angle to capture the vast number of stage trucks parked near Arena Sofia, but they were at least 50. So many that they made me want to visit Armin van Buuren’s show this week. What did they bring with the trucks? So curious.
I may settle with reading a book with a similarly named character. Savine dan Glokta is waiting for me.
It’s cool to care
I walked today alone with my thoughts. I was upset about something and was thinking about ways to resolve the problem. After 30-ish minutes of walking, I saw this reassuring sign. It says “It’s cool to care”.
It is indeed cool to care, but it is not cool to act under the influence of a strong emotion. When a person is in the red, the most productive thing they can do is usually to cool down and get out of the red.
I’m sure the poster wasn’t there to reassure people who care but nevertheless, it helped me get out of the red and move to the orange.
Here’s this generated with an AI duck who doesn’t care.
In case you’ve missed it, the image block now has AI. This duck is the first time I have used it.
13K Steps
The natural trend of everything in life is a decline. Health, relationships, skills, happiness – it all needs effort. You’re either working to improve it or it goes sideways, south, or just vanishes.
I’ve been trying to improve my health by walking 10K steps daily. Last week I achieved 13K, using the colder weather and the willingness of my wife and the little kid to participate. At the end of Sunday, after meeting the goal of 13K for the week, I just tossed the Apple Watch and turned off my brain. Didn’t even read a book. Felt overwhelming and unpleasant.
Why does it feel like it is too much? An average of 13K means about 2h 10 min/day. The day is 24h. This leaves 21h 50min of inactivity. The human body was not made to be physically inactive for 22 hours per day. I have no answer yet. I’ll keep walking meanwhile.
A milestone for the little one
My younger kid made it to Cherni Vrah today and discovered the raspberries and the blueberries.
We did a relatively easy path (+510m, about 5.6km one way) but it took forever, given the obstacles. This is a major milestone for anyone living in Sofia. I think I reached it when I was around 7.
