It’s getting easier to do steps outside. It’s still cold enough to need a jacket but it’s also bright and colourful. I prefer cold weather over hot for steps because I’m not sweating.



Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia

…Stepping in dog poop.
I had a 1.5-hour drive ahead of me in the rain yesterday, and was very stressed because I was sleepy. While cleaning plum petals off the car, I stepped straight into it. Scrubbing and washing out the winter boots with unpleasantly deep treads woke me up completely and I had a safe drive. This made me want to generalize that certain negative events can have a more positive impact as wakeup calls than the damage they cause.
Meanwhile the plums smell great, look great, just don’t park right below:

There was an attempt to plant pineapple in Sofia. This was doomed to failure for so many reasons…

According to Picture This, I spotted a Saucer Magnolia today. Will keep an eye on it. Curious if any saucers will fly away.


It’s been over 3 years since I started doing daily walks. One of the joys of doing them is just spotting ordinary things that just looks nice, and the early spring is probably the most colorful of all seasons for walking.
Here’s for your pleasure, Grape Hyacinth, a mid-80s tabouret, and a scary pirate.



And then two different orange cats. At first, I thought it’s the same cat, because I took these photos maybe 5 meters from one another. After looking at the photos, I noticed one has 2 ears and the other one has 1.75. The two-eared cat is also Pesho, recognized me and meowed.
