Today in Sofia (well and the rest of Europe), our clocks rolled back an hour today to mark daylight savings time. That meant when I woke up this morning at 9am it was really only 8 am.

Now before I realized that our clocks had rolled back, I was really proud of myself for sleeping in to 9am! As a teacher, it's become harder and harder for me to sleep in on the weekends. During the week, I'm up at 6 am so to sleep in until 9am on the weekends doesn't happen as much as I'd like it to. Oh well.

So I got up, had some coffee, poked around on the internet and read my kindle. By 10 am, I'd made a small pan of cinnamon rolls. Pintrest, get out of my head.

I took a late shower and A. picked me up to go downtown and check out the film <em>For Ellen</em> which is part of the current film festival in Sofia. We got there a little early which gave us plenty of time for a coffee and for me a honey cake. I followed the honey cake up with popcorn during the film.

We watched the film in a relatively old theater which I suspect only gets used these days for film festivals. <em>For Ellen</em> was an intense film. I liked it. I didn't like the dozen or so other movie-goers. There was a woman who took a phone call during the middle of the film and who spoke in a stage whisper and there were the early-twenty somethings text messaging on their phones who were silent but who were lighting up their corner of the audience with their smartphone screens. Just for the record, the teacher in me was displeased with them.

After the film, A. and I went for a beer. I had my first dark beer of the season. Oh, how I <em>do</em> like dark beer. Even this Kaminitsa.

From here I went to a dinner on campus for two previous teachers A. &amp; A. They are now living and working at an school in Paris but came back to visit us in Sofia for their first long weekend of the year. We had a taco/burrito bar and it was delicious.

What a great day of eating.

Sure it might be a little questionable in terms of health and merit but these things happen. Maybe I'll make up for it tomorrow with an extra carrot.
