A Very Different Home Design Site

A Very Different Home Design SiteKamila has been around and living in many homes, she now thinks that her current home is where she will stay for the duration now. She can’t see herself moving again after having started in Egypt, then to England and now Bulgaria.

Bulgaria to many is a very basic place and the homes they are very simple. Kamila has found that compared to other homes she has lived in their designed are not fashion based. They have been tucked away from the modern world and fashionable home design for so many years it is only now that homes are beginning to take on a modern twist. Of course lack of money doesn’t help either.

It certainly is a fact that many Bulgarian homeowners need Home Improvement Help as Kamila has noticed the lack of real experts here in this field in wanting. In particular there is much room for improvement in Bathroom Design here. It will improve over time of course.

Kamila found a website that is very different to many she has seen on the subject of home improvements and design and she showed a few of her Bulgarian friends, they were quite taken back with the contemporary style and unique way of presenting home design ideas. This was also quite new to Kamila in her much travelled mind. The even had a Do It Yourself Home Inspection which can be made, but Kamila can’t see it happening here as even thought it is good value for money Bulgarians still are quite stuck in their ways and would rather keep their practical styles for now. But others may well want to look at the ideas and modern designs that are now being promoted here, Kamila has not really seen anything like it in the way they present the make up of homes.

Hits4Pay Still Money In The Bank For Kamila

Hits4Pay Still Money In The Bank For KamilaKamila had a great weekend, no blogging just sapping up the sun and letting time that goes by make money online. She still can’t believe that there is earning being made whilst she is offline with the programmes running on the blogosphere every second of the day and night. It never used to be like that in Egypt, her mother had to work very hard for her food and drink.

Mondays seem to be a reflection each week for Kamila. She looks how the week has gone and reflects on how she can improve. This is a really sensible only way to make progress.

She had a blogging friend giving her a bit of advice on Hits4Pay, which she joined up last week. Now Corneyman has a money advice blog himself, Kamila often visits him as he has many websites on a variety of topics and seems very well versed in many areas of money-making online with these. In fact Kamila quite looks up to his blogs and takes some good ideas form some of his posts. She would certainly recommmend other bloggers to view his sites

The advice given was that Hits4Pay wasn’t a good way of earning much money. A few cent each month after the initial £10 signup fee and that’s it. You would have to get 100’s of people to sign up to make anything out of the scheme. This on reflection was good information and Kamila took it on board. She wasn’t’ about to give up on Hits4Pay though as it still earned her a little money and it didn’t take up any blog space other than the post in the archives. She argued that lots of little earners such as Hit4Pay added to others would still be earning with little or no work involved and this is what she was after.

Hits4Pay Still Money In The Bank For KamilaKamila certainly isn’t a greedy camel; she just wants to earn a little to help with paying bills and paying kindness to her not so new Bulgarian family now. So she will stand firm with Hits4Pay and thank Cornyman for his kind advice and caring. Kamila is finding so many nice blogging people it is a pleasure to be part of this family as well.

Google Translate - Kamila Recommends It

Google Translate - Kamila Recommends ItKamila of course coming from Egypt knows that not everyone there can speak and read English. She would like her family there to understand what she is doing in Bulgaria and is why she has a translator on her blog.

It occurred to Kamila, that Google’s translator is a very useful tool to encourage non-English speaking surfers to visit her site. It is easy to put on, doesn’t take up much space and all for free of course. Kamila often uses it to convert Bulgarian text into English. Google haven’t yet found a translation fro English to Camel language, but that’s a minor grumble from Kamila.

So why doesn’t everyone have a Google translator on their site Kamila thinks? Who know? It is a big sector of the blogosphere that will be missing out without it.

To get this gadget just visit this link – Google Translate - and you can simply upload the code to you blog. Kamila hopes that this is useful for many who don’t know about it.

Barbecue to Come

Inside the summer house we keep out little barbecue set. Kamila was used to barbecues but she had never seen one using a kit, it was always with a couple of stones and dead wood in Egypt.

"Can we use this one day so I can see it work?" Was the request Kamila put in.

"We are due to have one this weekend before you go back to Yambol, you can see it working them Kamila." we replied

Kamila wanted to know what we were going to cook on it, but we didn't know yet. We normally don't decide until the day before we told her as sometimes food just turns up here from neighbours without warning, so we can't really plan ahead that well.

Kamila did notice that we did get a lot of visits with people carrying food and dead animals, now she know why, they are gifts.

"People here must really like us," Kamila said with a smile on her face. "They are so poor but give us so much and I don't understand why." she went on to say.

"That's just how the people in Skalitsa and other villages are are," we said, "Kind and generous to the bone,"

The Wood Burning Stove

It was with much curiosity that Kamila took with the chunky black wood burner that sat in the living room.

"What is this?" was the expected question as Kamila walked up to observe.

"It's a wood burning stove and we use it to warm the house up, heat water up and sometimes cook on it. We also use it to burn rubbish."

"But it's warm here why do you need the house heated?" Kamila questioned further.

"It gets really cold here in the winter, we just wouldn't survive here without it." we added.

Kamila hadn't been through a Bulgarian winter and in England she was in Hamleys toy shop all the time, she didn't know what it was like to feel cold. And before in Egypt it was hot all year round.

"You'll just have to wait for winter and see for yourself Kamila" we said.

This was all new to Kamila but in the meantime she would make the most oft he long summer here.

"The summers are just right for camels, but I don't think I'd like winter here if it is cold," Kamila said smiling with the thought of the many months of warm weather still to come here.

"Don't worry Kamila" we said, "The wood burner will make sure that you never get cold."

Up Early

Kamila woke up very early this morning, 5:00 but that what they do in the villages. Kamila said that the silence in the night brought back memories of Egypt, there wasn't a sound to be heard at night there either.

First off, Kamila had new friends to meet, the village folk in the house were a rabbit and two teddies one large and one small. Kamila was a bit shy with them but soon got to know them as they talked about where they had come from and what life was like on a farm. It was very different from the life in Yambol town.

They said that there were more village teddies around but they were out helping milking the goats with our neighbour at the moment. It is a very busy time in the villages right now and the days are very long, we don't get to go on holidays as the animals all need to be tended to every day of the year.

Kamila was confused. If I'm here on holiday then they must be here on holiday all the time were her thoughts. How lucky they are to have a holiday every day of the the year she thought.

Is she right in thinking this?

Water on Tap

There are some things Kamila finds out about that are very different from where she comes from. Water is something that she has had to store when she can. It can be days, even weeks before she comes across water to drink in the deserts of Egypt.

Today Kamila saw a pipe with a tap on and turned it. Out came gushing water, she couldn't believe it was that simple to get water. Not only that water at any time of the day or night and it didn't even have to rain for supplies of it.

We explained that sometimes we get cut off and it is only the foreigners that come here that complain. They come from places that are used to non stop water we explained. Kamila said she was a foreigner and she woudn't complain from being cut off. And who could blame her, after all she has come from a place where water is rare.

It is a very lucky Kamila who now can have a drink whenever she wants.

Oasis?


Kamila does make us laugh so much. She told us last night that she found an oasis, but we didn't really believe her and found it strange that she should want to tell us fibs.

This morning insisted that there was an oasis in the house and she wanted us to go and see it with her. It was only when we got there that we realised she wasn't telling fibs at all. She had seen the toilet with the pool of water and thought it was an oasis!

Oh Kamila, "You are funny" we said as we explained what the oasis really was.

Kamila says that she will go there to remind her of Eygpt and the home she left behind long ago.

Eating Greens


Kamila got a smell of the plants the other day, it reminded her of the leaves she used to eat that grew on the tree in the oasis she used to rest at in Eygpt. She decided to try them out but they weren't the same taste. Kamila was obviously feeling a bit homesick today. let's hope she cheers up tomorrow.
