Have you seen that cartoon picture with the bald guy? He says something like I'm my heads not bald its a solar panel for my love machine. Its not very funny.  

But I think I may be solar powered. the last few days have been bright and warm. I have loved sitting on our balcony reading some good books, having a pray and being warmed by the sun. It feels like SO long since the summer. most of the time i just enjoyed the heat on my face closing my eyes to the sun, smiling and breathing deeply. Bliss. I feel energized, i am happier than i have been in ages and am really looking forward to this year.

So whats with this lunar eclipse nonsense? Dejan and I met up with the guys after their band practice last night and hung around for hours in the courtyard of the Orthodox church, supping Bulgarian beer (not a patch on Skopsko) and eating peanut flavoured wotsits (?!?). Apparently the moon was supposed to be turning red... so we sat and chatted... and sat... and sat. the moon disappeared then turned an ugly grey colour. Most disappointing.
