I love the new hair cut 🙂Best wishes on starting your new job. It's always nice meeting new people and starting a new adventure. I'm so happy that all your trekking all over the place is behind you, lol. It takes a lot of patience to deal with all of that, so kudos to you both. Native plants (even weeds) always grow faster than anything else, lol. You can always use a rock to crack open the nut shell 😃Lots of things getting accomplished in the house. I really like the idea of doing the addition. That would give you loads more room and the french doors would be amazing. Chris is a smart cookie and you could do your diy painting magic on the new french doors 😁 What a very nice spacious apartment, wow. The balcony is icing on the cake. Great job so far. Thanks for sharing your goings on.
We have done the train once, and possibly never again. We chose the train thinking we'd rather be moving on the 'fast' train (that was ready to go) than waiting for the bus - but we got in 2 hours later than the bus. Like you said, it was hot, no windows opened either, it was packed and stopped at pretty much every station. Love going on the metro between the airport/bus station, so easy, cheap and punctual. LOL the weeds grow so much better than anything we plant too. We're hoping to get some of those weedy trees though as they grow fast and will provide some interest and shade in our field which doesn't have many trees in.
@NewBulgarians I'll definitely choose the bus next time! I'm sure you have plenty of the weed trees ..... I am trying to replace mine with fruit but goodness me, they are persistent!
@@Bulgaria_Bucharest There haven't been any of those trees in our garden so far, but in our previous houses they were very persistent lol. We will definitely plant fruit trees too.
Niki, re the walnuts best you cut or let them fall off the tree and when the green skin starts cracking, you need to remove the green skin and let the walnut dry (in the sun). When the outer skin has turned black, 90% there are not good to eat, due to moulding inside..this is as per my Bulgarian boyfriend :) and hope it helps :)
@Malta2024 thanks! I was trying to get a few before they are really ripe because I'm stuck in Romania now (also full of walnuts, who knew?) until my residency comes through.....I'll direct my Chris to collect fallen ones for me (and thank you to your knowledgeable husband!)
It's important that he collects only the green ones, and on the ground there can be some good ones & already peeled too 😊 he removes the green skin, let them dry in the sun properly and store them in a basement/room in the winter months 👍when you are back in Bulgaria, give them a try 😊
