One of the best ways of saving heat in the winter is to take a tip from Bulgarians and simply move your bed into a room that is already heated before you go to bed, i.e. your kitchen or living room.

Besides the economics, there is nothing like going to bed in a warm room knowing that ... Read Full Story
I have always said that the potential for solar power in Bulgaria is great and makes total practical sense. There is already one up and running a few kilometres from my home here and I'm sure it is wel on its way to paying for its instalation.

This will be exaggerated if ill afforded funds are demanded from sueing. Just another example of the EC creating more problems for Bulgaria.The European Commission (EC) is pursuing court action agai... Read Full Story

Day to day is how Kamila is taking thing right now. Who knows what will happen in the future is the though that is fixed in her mid this weekend as she takes a couple of days break from blogging. Who would have thought Kamila would have ended up in Bulgaria as a blogger two years ago? AdSense came to mind as Kamila’s mind wandered into money making ideas.

What a palaver!Falling leaves are a natural phenomenon but this world treats it as a big inconvenience and industries have been built up to deal with it. The leaves are natures... Read Full Story
