Flight to Bulgaria. I remembered how we flew to Bulgaria before the covid era. I don't like to travel by plane, but I sat by the window and looked below the plane. It's a little scary, but then you get used to it and take pictures of the landscape below you. I use chewing gum to reduce the pressure in my ears. Babies in the seat in front or behind you usually cry, so there is a lot of noise on the plane. It does not matter. After a two-hour flight and a 40 km bus ride to theβ¦

This morning I had to get up early to go buy white bricks for the reconstruction of the chimney. I couldn't find a place where they sell it, but in the end the navigation on my mobile phone helped me. Our black cat sleeps in his box after eating. Have a nice weekend dear friends πββοΈπΈβ€οΈ
I'm back. I managed to photograph this insect on our organic waste bin. This is Valucella Pellucens.The parasite on wasp nests. The female lays an eggs inconspicuously on the wasp's nest and the larvae bite inside where they try to eat the weaker wasps. They don't have much chance because wasps can defend themselves ππΈ
Today I caught two snails in the garden destroying a pumpkin flower. My hedgehogs don't work in the night because they eat cat pellets instead of fighting against of snails. They did not get cat pellets today and must go to definitely save our garden. I harvested tomatoes and hot peppers. I'm looking forward to the pumpkin soup. Have a nice weekend my friends ππΈππ
I drove past the church in the neighboring village and noticed that some artists had carved sculptures from old trees that had to be cut down so as not to damage the cemetery. I immediately took photos of them because I liked them and I want to show them to you. It looks like came a storm outside now because I can hear thunder. I wanted to go to the woods to get nature water, but I won't risk being struck by lightning. I greet all cats because it's cat day. Have a niceβ¦
I go very late but there was no time to waste time. We are still preparing for winter and need many things for the fireplace and especially to find someone to write a certificate that our new chimney is safe. chimney sweeps are very busy with many requests from people who want to heat. I was in the woods and found a nice gazebo. Next to it you can find a small house of bees. I walked past the hive very close and got a warning from the patrolling bees so I left theirβ¦
Good evening friends, I just woke up, I had the night shift. I was chopping and cutting wood yesterday. I finally managed to get a chimney sweep to inspect our chimney. They have full diaries for half a year ahead. I have a lot of work today but I'll be back as soon as I'm done. This beautiful cat walked past me. π±π
I like swans. I noticed that a large flock of swans had arrived on the lake. They were quite far away so I had to use a zoom camera. I wasn't alone there. A lady who is retired was standing next to me and she wanted to talk with me about life and feeding the swans. She told me that someone brought rotten bread there and fed it to the swans. We talked for two hours and later my wife warned me that I was late for lunch. It does not matter. Maybe the lady was lonely and had noβ¦
My little walk in the woods. I wanted to take a picture of something and my eyes saw these wood fungi that are like a parasite on an old tree. Those mushrooms eat wood and that's why they are so hard. I liked the moss-covered tree stump. Good night my friends. Tomorrow is already Friday.
Good morning friends, yesterday I worked on the insulation of the house. We wanted to install a new front door that provides better thermal insulation, but no one store had our door size. I got the idea that I could add a polystyrene plate to the inside of the door, which would dampen the very cold weather during the winter. When I finished my work, the temperature in the corridor increased a bit. Today I have two photos of the moonrise that I took when there was a full moonβ¦
How to spend rainy days? Just fix something at home. My electric blanket that I put under my sheets broke. When I'm very cold, I use that blanket in bed to warm myself up for an hour or two. Consumption is only 50W. I disassembled the control unit and started measuring with a multimeter where the error is. Main fuse is OK, diodes OK, resistors OK, mechanical power switch OK. I know now. The axial temperature sensor is burned out. I ordered a new one. It will cost $3β¦
The cat in the tree and our grapes. I took this pictures when it wasn't raining, but it's raining again. The cat is at his post waiting for the birds to come and eat these grapes. When you get a message in your mobile that your package is ready for you at the post office and the lady behind the counter tells you that they don't have it there. You lost time because someone or something sent a message prematurely go get it. π±π¦
I remembered how our dog found this giant edible mushroom 10 years ago. I am writing this because I have the day off tomorrow and we will go to the forest to look for edible mushrooms. I'm looking forward to it because I think the mushrooms are growing after the heavy rains that have been here every day for two weeks. I hope it won't rain tomorrow. I have to prepare a basket, a knife, a camera, and a good mood. I will post photos from the mushroom hunt tomorrow. Good nightβ¦
Today I was looking for mushrooms and I was successful. I found a lot of edible mushrooms but unfortunately I got lost in the forest. I had to go deep into the forest because there were many people also looking for mushrooms. My pedometer showed 18743 steps. I will show you the mushroom dinner tomorrow. Good night or good morning friends. πΈππββοΈ
When the bugs decide to eat the tree. In my photos, you can see a tree that the foresters had to cut down because wood-eating beetles multiplied there. In the last two photos you can see my collection of mushrooms in a basket and then on a plate. We call it mushrooms fries with eggs and fresh bread. Enjoy and see that I'm still alive. I don't collect poisonous mushrooms. Good evening to everybody πββοΈπΈπ
Today I took part in the municipal elections in our town. The election was held in the beautiful gymnasium building and outside I found rowan trees. It was a beautiful sunny day. We call it granny summer. I had very little time between two night shifts. I'm glad that I managed everything and now I'm back at my workplace. I hope I will have a quiet shift because it's Saturday. Good night friends πΈπ¦
What did I do today. My new Aloe Vera needs a bigger pot. Put small stones at the bottom of the pot and mix the substrate for indoor flowers with sand and Perlite. Cacti need soil that is breathable. I transplanted all three plants. The big plant is a tangerine tree. I added some mixed soil there. Goodnight to Europe and good morning to the Philippines. πββοΈβπΈ
Our cat is happy today because he got this big jumbo pack with meat pouches. My parrots got a bag of two-color sunflowers. It was a good deal with a birthday discount of 10%. I took a picture of the parrots for you at the zoo shop. Take care and be save. Take cover if storms or high winds arrive. πββοΈβπΈ
Today I want to show you some mushrooms that we don't eat. I was happy when I found a red toadstool. This is a mushroom that won't poison you, but don't eat it. My friend ate it and then wanted to fly off the 12th floor balcony. Fortunately, his wife prevented him from doing so. When I saw the tree in my photo that you see now I thought what is it? Does anyone know?
I have prepared more of my photos from the forest for you. There you can see an empty feeder for wild forest animals and a small seat for a hunter who will sit there with a rifle and wait for the wild boar to come.πππ Pigs have multiplied and are doing great damage to the corn fields. π½π½π½ I wish you a nice evening and I'm running to my workplace again. π₯οΈπββοΈ
Today I bought this small compass so that I don't get lost again in the forest where there is no signal of the mobile operators. I look forward to trying it out. Metal objects and even a mobile phone cannot be near the compass because they will set the direction indicator in motion. Today we have a sunny day but only +14 degrees. We don't heat at home, we have to get used to the cold, which is free. I wear a sweater and warm underwear. I wish a nice day to all active users.β¦
Are you afraid of being alone in the forest? I admit, that I was a little scared today when I heard the gunshot. It wasn't far because it was deafening but when I looked around I didn't see anyone. I remembered the case of a forest killer who shot people looking for mushrooms like this many years ago. Maybe he's already been released from prison for good behavior and now he might be back in the woods. Such thoughts ran through my head, but later it turned out that no one wasβ¦
