I know I haven't posted for some time but I have been having stressful days lately. Because of the summer heat my mum's blood pressure dropped dangerously and she had strong arhythmia accompanied with painful heart stabs. I had to call emergency, and several doctors after that, and the fear of not losing her was so strong that I myself got high blood pressure and heartache...She is not transportable because of her disability but anyway, I won't let her go to hospital because I will never forget how my father died in hospital in front of my eyes three years ago without a diagnosis due to doctor's ignorance and how rude and careless the servicing staff was...So my mum's blood pressure is still low but at least her heart pulse is rhythmic now.
My only relaxation is to steal out for an hour swim while my mum is sleeping, but I feel blessed to live so close to the sea, it washes away the stress...
I know that's not a very happy post but that's how things with me are at the moment.
However, I'm posting a pic of the sea that my youngest and his girlfriend took while they were having their holiday by the sea. They took many beautiful landscape pics, I will post more later.
Wishing you a good weekend mood with this pic and happy Aug 1, the month of the Leos
Lots of love,

Lovin' Life / Nocturne

So here is another photoblog for you I called it 'Nocturne' because of the pre-evening pics on it...I spent some time to decide on which photo to perch. I like this goofy but happy smile of mine on the pic...I learnt how to crop and resize but I still don't know how to free myself of the background of the resized pic and leave only the silhouette of a figure...(any help here?). That's why I camouflaged myself in a bush ....
So how is your summer going on, my friends ? My two sons with their girlfriends are at home for their holidays, and I'm cooking...and cooking,...and cooking...again. ...But I'm happy to be able to touch them, listen to their stories, hear them laugh and steal a kiss from them during meals, knowing for how many months they will be away again...
I'm sorry, my Western Europen friends, about your poor summer weather, 15-20*C, ha, isn't it a shame...It's already 30+ here, and the sea water is a pleasure you don't want to part with, 26*C...So come on, join me!
Hugs and love,

Costa Rica Tops Happiness ( 'green living' poll )
"SAN JOSE (AFP) - Costa Rica is the happiest place on earth, and one of the most environmentally friendly, according to a new survey by a British non-governmental group.
The New Economics Foundation looked at 143 countries that are home to 99 percent of the world's population and devised an equation that weighed life expectancy and people's happiness against their environmental impact.
By that formula, Costa Rica is the happiest, greenest country in the world.
Australia scored third place, but other major Western nations did poorly, with Britain coming in at 74th place and the United States at 114th.
The New Economics Foundation's measurements found Costa Ricans have a life expectancy of 78.5 years, and 85 percent of the country's residents say they are happy and satisfied with their lives.
Sociologist Andrea Fonseca said that the country's rise to the top of the Happy Planet Index "has a lot to do with social imagination", too. Costa Rica has a peaceful reputation because it does not have an army, and is also known for its protected ecological zones and national slogan "pure life," she said."
Wonna move to Costa Rica ? We can do it collectively, lol..No winters there
Have a sunny summer week !

Driverdan ?

Have you noticed that Driverdan has gone ? Even without saying good-bye ? Or he did and I didn't see that ? ...What I noticed was that he had put a tiny dot as a title to his blog..And now even this dot vanished, melted in the universe ...
First Tone, now Dan - I feel the chills of loneliness clutch my heart when I have to part with long-term friends..Hope they come back after having been on their own for some time...
I will soon post, my friends - about a beautiful, little known country. Just bear with me to arrange my photos and thoughts.
Have an enjoyable hot summer week.
Love,

Paris

I liked Paris more than I thought I would. I liked the atmosphere in Paris - there is no day or night there, the streets and cafes are always full of people, and not only because of the tourists. It is very beautiful along the Seine. And most of French people speak English and are quite polite contrary to the rumours about them.
I visited many places of interest in Paris but the museums which impressed me most are the Louvre, an old dream of mine, and Musee d'Orsey. I posted five pics from Paris for you: two pics of Seine with its bridges, the beautiful white Sacre Coeur Basilica, Notre Dame Cathedral with me in front , and the inside court of the Louvre with its magnificent buildings.
And that's the end of my travel story 'Three Countries in a Week'...My eyes are directed to another land now, I may tell you about it later
I'm wishing you an exciting summer and welcoming you to sunny Bulgaria 
Yours SL,
