6:30 a.m. Approximately 3 and a half hours after I entered sleeping mode. I'm still dreaming something, when all of sudden I hear a muffled bang - at which the windows in my room shake a bit.
It's gloomy outside. My first thought - sending panicky notes through my body - is that lightning hit my computer! (which has happened twice before and dear Pesho survived both strikes) Then... I see that the comp is fine, then hear a second, quieter boom (more like a bass thud).
Nothing interesting... I chose to sleep some more. Eventually, at around 9 I wake up, almost late for work! I jump in the shower, and as soon as I get out, my phone rings - Mom calls from our little village mountain house. "Are you okay?" she asks me... "Uhm. Yeah. Why wouldn't I? I'm late, but okay still."
Apparently it was all over the news this morning - around 1500 tonnes of random military gun shells, missiles, and other ammo EXPLODED in a military warehouse near the Sofia airport. There are no victims, though a lot of material damage has been done to the surrounding villages.
See.. I missed it all! I had no idea what was going on. I basically heard the explosion at 6:30 but thanks to my calm nature and innate ability to sleep through anything (= laziness too), I didn't even bother checking things out.
Everyone else though seemed to be panicking more or less. At the office everything was hectic today! People were jumpy and aggressive - like they were about to go off any minute now :) And to top things off, there was an earthquake in the afternoon - a very insignificant shake of the ground, but enough to spark off more panic and paranoia in Sofia's citizens who thought there was yet another explosion.
Yep, I had a blast today!
