Sunny Sofia

I did 17k steps today, which included more than 1h of playing football with kids between 1st and 6th grade. We finished 6-6, which was not easy to the youngest and oldest participants. The youngest one saved a kick that was too strong and now wears an elastic stripe. The oldest had to run and get reminded that nobody is faster than the ball.

I also went to the park for a longer than normal pull-ups exercise. The weather was almost summer-like. The day was more than fine but my actual hopes for it were to just sleep until noon and then have an afternoon nap. All that sun and blue sky arranged things otherwise.

On the photos, San Stefano street, a sidewalk, and the Seven Saints Church.

It’s not that the focus or the quality of the photo is that great but I think this is one of my best cat photos lately. Such a charming cat. She’s one of the yard cats next to our co-working space.

Here’s the kitten with a friend, who I previously featured here. They’re probably cousins.

Roar

We almost never see large aircraft visiting the Sofia Airport. When I heard the roar, I thought it’s a helicopter or some US military aircraft with a hundred propellers. Looked up, and I was genuinely surprised to see a Jumbo Jet. We had A380 landing here once and it made it to the news. This would be the first time I hear 747 landing in Sofia. Also, flying over the city center with full throttle, probably not the best.

It’s a flight from Sofia to Djibouti. I couldn’t find any information about it but I would put my money that it’s an evacuation route for people who want to leave the Gulf area.

Knee

I did my first true long walk since I bumped my knee into a concrete trash can a week ago. 10K steps in one go and the knee held well. I dodged a bullet this time. However, I lost my shape, feeling as if I did 20K, not 10K.

The bin is now out of the way, hopefully it doesn’t hurt anyone else.

And speaking of trash, a the gallery below shows a pigeon eating steak, Wartburg 1.3, and a cat, resting on a pillow. Sofia is not very clean under our current leadership, whose battle with the cleaning companies shows.
