Nostalgia

I managed to put a subtitle to today's blog.

Nostalgia

or

Is Anyone Sad Today?

I don't know about you, but I'm sad today. I'm nostalgic and this makes me sad very easily. In adolescence and youth, I liked to be unhappy, I also looked for a dark nature, with rain and wind, and then I felt good. I was sad mostly because of unrequited love, and sadness made it easier to get over the pain. That was long ago when I didn't know or believe everything was fleeting...

You're probably wondering why I'm sad. I know you're not, but I'm asking... so I can answer.

I am sad because fall is coming and summer is over!

After I forgot about the rain this summer, it hasn't rained for five months here where I live, now it's raining and it's cold. Cold!!? It's 20 degrees Celsius! I'm cold at such a temperature because this summer I had to adjust to 40 degrees Celsius and a sudden drop in temperature by half gives the feeling of cold!

It's raining, it's windy and Cyclone Boris is here. People died. Why did they give the cyclone a Russian name? They were probably sure there would be casualties...

I hope Russian colleagues here don't get upset. I have every appreciation for them and the Russian people, it's just that there is someone out there, in their midst, who keeps trying to push us into a war that can only be disastrous.

I hope the Russians love their children too!

I can't believe this happened to us just a few days ago.

No worries and total relaxation on the terrace.

It seems like it happened long ago, that summer is long gone and vacation was just a dream. And yet, it was true!

As much as I try to say that I was taken by surprise that the end was near, we (meaning me, my wife, and a friend) felt that the end was near, even though the smoky weather was trying its best to fool us.

The sun was still shining on the small Bulgarian Black Sea resort of Balchik.

All the tourists knew that the end of summer was only a few days away. Departure is always hard, people try to stay as close as possible to the sea, to feel the breeze, the salty smell and to admire the blue-green water of the Black Sea, haha...

Great luck that there are a few jetties or pontoons, I don't know what to call them, which allowed us to go far out to sea... without getting our feet wet.

I don't think there is a more beautiful and pleasant walk than the one by the sea. We had a hotel further away so we took longer walks to get to the sea, up and down.

Going down to the sea I saw the signs.

I saw how autumn has already started to make its way among the last days of summer.

We can't fight the climate and nature, I am rational and I know that's the way it has to be but I still resent fall. Fall is a gorgeous season and I love it but I can't stop getting mad at it for pushing summer out of my life, forever, or just this year, who knows?

I tried to take a selfie, in the mirror, as a memory.

All my friends laugh at my thin legs...

Have you noticed that as we get older our heads get bigger and our legs get thinner?

Those who have read this far deserve to be left with a beautiful picture. What can be nicer than the sea? Sure, there can be many others, each to his passion, but this is my passion.

Nothing can be more beautiful than the sea!

My granddaughter is nostalgic. A little girl sitting alone, looking at the flowers or maybe not, maybe she doesn't see anything and thinks about the end of summer...

Grandparents' hats, which have felt the sunshine of the sea this year, are also yearning for the summer that we all hope will arrive!
