From the daily hike.
First photo shows a white-blue-white marking for a path long gone. I took it anyway and after some crawling got to the new path, which was clearly marked as seen on photo two.
This was once the marked path
Greek Flowers
From left to right and top to bottom.
Oleander, Aloe, Paperflower, and some sort of Hibiscus, maybe Swamp rose mallow.
Daily Harvest
This will be a tough one to read. I’m still half-way through the last one but the buy 2 get 4 books promotion by the local publisher Artline was too good to miss.
- The last Ronin – I plan reading one chapter per day with the little one (already completed two). It features one surviving ninja turtle and the elderly badass April O’Neil but it’s mostly for the sub-10 audience
- Lore Olympus – another graphic novel, which I’ve not unboxed yet
- Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky – in case I’m meeting the guy next month, I’d like to have that completed
- To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christofer Paolini – I have to admit that I got that for the cover because they add up nicely with the one above. I’m not sure if I’ll ever read it. The author is well-known for his series Eragon.
Goodreads Brings Back Friends’ Reading Challenges
One of my favorite parts of Goodreads used to be seeing how my friends are progressing toward their annual reading goals. It was fun and a little competitive in a good way.
Last year, Amazon decided to clutter Goodreads with about a hundred new challenges while somehow hiding the only one that mattered to me. For a while, seeing friends’ challenge simply disappeared.
Well, good news: it’s back. If you’re using the mobile app, you can find it under:
Settings → Reading Challenges → More frien…
I’m thankful it’s back so I can keep an eye on what my frien… read again.
Count the Cats
Given that I keep reading books about Zombies, I think this photo is with the right mood. This is the abandoned pool in Blagoevgrad, in an area called The Beach. It was made like that by a concessionaire for reasons beyond comprehension and is probably not fixable with municipality’s current budget and organizational capacity.
The area suffers from a cat infestation.
