Lentil Soup

I was too quick on my weekly hiking trip to Cherni Vrah today and the beans soup wasn’t ready. There would be beans, kufte, and kebapche 15-20 minutes later. Missed that but I had lentils and chocolate, and it was fine. Life was good.

Appreciating the chance to see the peak one more time.

The digging machine

The municipality is building a new subway line near me. I wanted to see how they put in the giant tunnel digging machine. Kept going to the construction site during my daily walks, hoping to see something.

However, it seems like it’s delivered in pieces and assembled inside the hole. Won’t see the big thing without a drone. But I saw one fragment.

Blackberries

Found this in Sofia. First time I see anything resembling blackberries in my area.

I spent years of my childhood in Stara Zagora where blackberries are common. I liked the blackberry jam my grandmother made.

WordCamp Sofia 2024

I joined WordCamp Sofia 2024 this weekend by responding to the call for organizers.

WordCamp Sofia will be held on 24th of November in Sofia Tech Park.

I’ve been out of touch with the local community for years. My last WordCamp where I was part of the team was WordCamp Europe 2018 in Belgrade. Wanted to do Varna 2019 but it was cancelled due to Covid, and never returned to the WordCamp work after that. Sadly, I even missed the WCEU in Athens, which is reachable by car from Sofia.

I’m thankful that the organizers welcomed me to the team. I hope I didn’t forget how this type of work is done and will be able to help. It’s been awhile.
