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.

Rose hips

Sofia is full of fruit trees and shrubs. When I was a kid, people used to pick the fruit. I remember walking for kilometers to find plums that hadn’t already been picked by other kids. We ate them while they were still green.

Rose hips can be used to make jam, although this has fallen out of fashion over the years.

There’s no cat in this photo.
