Before The Year Is Gone

Around New Year and before Lent, the Kukeri walk and dance through villages to scare away evil spirits with their elaborate costumes and the sound of multiple large bells attached to their belts. They are also believed to provide a good harvest, health, and happiness to the village during the year. The Kukeri tradition has been practiced since Thracian times, predominantly in Bulgaria but also in other Balkan countries.

New shoots

Posted on Sat, 22 Jun 2024

I regret that I find it impossible to justify or forgive Thatcher's actions. Too many destroyed businesses, broken homes, nervous breakdowns and suicides lay in her wake as well her damage to Britain's industry. Then there was her atrocious...

I can't fathom how she could live with herself at all. She brought so much misery.

The same wavelength

Posted on Sat, 22 Jun 2024

Thatcher was an awful woman but at least she knew what she was doing. 

What you have written matters a lot to me too. It's good to be on the same wavelength.

In Bulgaria (and in all countries that follow Eastern Orthodox Christianity) Easter fell on the first weekend in May this year so we were virtually guaranteed hot sunny days. Local boys Saints Cyril and Methodius like it that way.

Unputdownable

But, scientifically speaking, summer doesn't even start for another twelve days. You'll have no books left unread for the real autumn. Maybe you'll find some unputdownable cleaning products.

Aww Jenny, I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling rough and I hope you're quickly feeling better.

A rusty nail, by the way, is the name of a cocktail made from whiskey and Drambuie, so maybe you need to swallow a few more.
