Bulgaria's ban on smoking
Recently there have been rumblings that the Bulgarian parliament was seeking to amend the smoking ban which has been in full force for a year, and the restaurant/bar and club trade have been complaining about the loss of trade.The ban was introduced in a country where smoking is still widespread ergo lots of people will not go to places where they cannot smoke.
Last week the ban was upheld overwhelmingly.However I have started to notice that many places are ignoring the ban and allowing people to smoke.Whether this is the start of some samizdat movement I know not, but I think it reflects a desire to make money and if they need to flout the law they will do it.
Any one noticed such things where you are ?.

Snow Snow and more Snow
The weather forecast just said windy, but this morning we have had a lot of snow.My friends have had no power in the Apart Hotel that they live in near Kavarna, and have just decamped to a hotel.If your only method of heating is reliant on electricity such outages can be unpleasant if not downright dangerous.
The forecast for Christmas Day night is minus 13, which is unusually cold for this region.I don't think it has been this cold for about 5 years.Let us hope that this is not a harbinger of worse things to come.
How is it in your part of Bulgaria ?.

Yes sounds like the 1920's gold standard, lets cut the crap as the Lev is at least 20% lower in real terms against the Euro.An export driven boom would be welcome .

Weather Update
Woke up to a chilly -8C, as dawn broke.Allegedly my air con unit works up to minus 25C, and I think I January we will find out if it does !.
It was a beautiful sunrise this morning, despite the cold it seemed to have a warming red glow about it.It is particularly beautiful to see the sun rise over the sea.There is a strange elemental purity.
Today I will venture out for a short while, but luckily no strong wind.The wind chill is the thing that exacerbates the cold, without it it's just cold, with it it's freezing !.
The one thing we don't have is snow, most of the rest of Bulgaria has it, but on the coast we normally have none till Christmas.
Going to sign off now.Hope you all have a great day !.

They may well want to amend this, but unfortunately it contradicts European law so therefore its not going to happen.

Most historians tend to say that the gypsies were expelled from the Indian state of Rajistan around 1000AD, and began migrating westwards.

December Musings
Well, Winter is coming (if that is not a cliche from 'Game of Thrones') but it is still sunny, last night there was a lot of rain, and my roof is leaking slightly.We seemed to have had a very windy night, the other night, and I think some damage was done, but maybe it was just the wrong kind of rain !.
Balchik is very quiet, only at the weekends do the restaurants get busy and then only some of them.On Thursday evening the Christmas lights will be turned on in Varna, so that is one for the diary.
On the Blogging front, we have passed the 60,000 page views milestone with quite busy daily traffic.
As I have mentioned before we want news and views from around Bulgaria, so if you have items please post them as comment here.
