Digital Camera Lost

I don't believe the bad luck today. I went around taking my photographs with my digital camera for my blog Yambol Daily Pictures and went to the church as it is is a day for forgiveness today in Bulgaria. As I went tot he shop for an ice-cream after the church business (yes it was that warm here today), I found that my camera was not in my pocket any more. After returning the church there was no sign of the digital camera, even after asking many people there. I have no camera again after the saga of getting one after me original one broke.

Burnt Boots

It was bitterly cold at work and my boots were damp from shifting snow the previous day. Even with three pairs of socks on my feet were freezing cold by lunchtime due to the dampness that had penetrated to my feet. It was off with the boots and feet up next to eh electric barred fire that we had, normally used to turn out bread into toast. Whilst my feet and socks were warming up my boots were put on top of the metal grates surround of the fire. I then fell asleep as my socks steamed away on my feet only to wake up form the sound of hissing. This was caused my the rubber soles of my boots melting and the drips of rubber igniting with fire onto the electric bar elements. I quickly removed them and dipped them in a bucket of water. Not only were my boots ruined but I had to wear someone else's trainer after lunch and put up with the smell of burning rubber all afternoon. My boot were put into the wood-burner as fuel to keep warm in another room as they were no good for anything else now.

Snow Stops Plumbing Work

We have had no water for two weeks now as the weekend came along I decided to do something about it. Digging up the outside pipes I found that they needed replacing so off to the shop I went for pipes and connections, all set to replace the whole system. Just after 5 hours of digging using a hired pneumatic drill it started snowing. No chance of finishing the job as the blizzard set in. Another day of no water and Sunday the work starts again. Fat chance of any break as the weekend is fully filled with plumbing work.
