Живот без кола: експеримент с продължение

Някъде в началото на септември, залисани в някакви свои неща, пропуснахме да отпразнуваме 4-тата ни година в Своге. И покрай тази годишнина се сетих, че не съм обобщила и изводите от експеримента ни: “Живот на село без автомобил”.

Сега… да уточня: Своге е град, но само в централната си част. Кварталите, пръснати по склоновете на дефилето са си бивши села или махали и освен с някакви екстри като водопровод (и само на някои места канализация) по нищо не се отличават от някое село. Градски транспорт няма (то всъщност лифт би бил по-удачен), а улиците и начинът на шофиране тук не предразполагат много към колоездене като средство за придвижване.

Има маршрутка до София, с която можем да спестим част от пътя на връщане, както и няколко таксита, които не работят в почивни дни и вечер след 7.

Експериментът стартира поради факта, че и двамата нямаме шофьорски книжки и покрай преместване, работа, обзавеждане, дострояване на къщата, облагородяване на двора и т.н. така и не ни остана време да се занимаваме и с изпити. Оставихме въпроса отворен във времето и докато се усетим – свикнахме.

Живеем на 2 км от централната част. Когато съседите слизат към центъра казват: “Отиваме в Своге” 🙂 .

Някои промени в начина ни на живот

Ходенето като фитнес упражнение

Хубавото на ситуацията е, че разходката до центъра, по магазините и обратно ни прави така необходимите 5 км вървене пеш. Като добавим чантите с покупки и денивелацията, се получава една хубава тренировка. Лошото е, че вече не слизаме всеки ден.

Оптимизация на пазаруването

В първите месеци ни се струваше, че в кварталните магазини няма нищо. За хора, свикнали с разнообразието в софийските хипермаркети изборът между 2 вида сирене и кашкавал и 1 вид течен сапун (ако има) си е… нищо. Постепенно свикнахме тежки и обемни стоки (като бира, картофи, тоалетна хартия и прах за пране) да купуваме от квартала, а при пазаруване в центъра да наблягаме на деликатеси, плодове и по-луксозни стоки, които обичайно няма горе при нас.

Да вкараме в употреба социалните контакти

Оказа се, че ако помолим продавачите в кварталните магазини да заредят от някоя стока, която тежи и не ни се мъкне пеш, в болшинството от случаите няма да ни откажат.  Така се получи с тъмната и безалкохолната бира, които тук наоколо никой друг не пие. Е, остава ангажиментът да купим цялото поръчано количество, както и да се примирим, че тъмната бира ще е Ариана, но… свиква се :).

За доставка на строителни материали можем да наемем някой от превозвачите с камион, които стоят при складовете. Или да помолим съсед за услуга, но някак си предпочитаме чистите сметки. Свикнахме да изчисляваме нужното количество материали още при проектирането, така че доставката е максимум 2 пъти годишно и не срива бюджета.

От време на време добри съседи ни стоварват по някоя торба зеленчуци или плодове, които са им в излишък. Надявам се да имаме случай да им се отблагодарим подобаващо и ние :).

Храна от градината, чай от гората

Отглеждането на плодове и зеленчуци ни е по-скоро хоби, опит нямаме и количествата на повечето неща са лабораторни, но е много удобно да откъснеш спанак, праз и чесън от двора си, когато в хладилника са останали само бучка сирене и няколко яйца, и да спретнеш едни гювечета.
За прясно набраните ягоди и малини, които плющим цяло лято сутрин на закуска няма смисъл да споменавам :).

Свикнахме и при всяка разходка в подходящия сезон да се завръщаме я с шипки, дренки и глог, а с мащерка или бял равнец и така редуцирахме и количеството билков чай в пакетчета, които търсехме да купуваме преди.
Салвията, която отглеждаме успешно в двора май обединява заглавието.

Колкото повече храна успеем да си отгледаме в двора, толкова по-малко ще тежат пазарските торби.

Направи си сам

Бедният избор на стоки тук и прекалено изморителното упражнение “да обиколим София, за да намерим едикакво си” ни ентусиазираха да си правим каквото можем сами, като хоби и почивка от основната работа.  Етажерки, пердета, декоративни възглавници, ръчно рисувани бурканчета за подправки… ако можем да направи нещо сами с подръчни материали, не търсим от къде да го купим и как да го транспортираме.

Онлайн пазаруването

Не всичко можем да направим или отгледаме сами, но почти всичко вече може да се купи онлайн. За тези 4 години, откакто сме тук, рязко увеличихме количеството стоки, пазарувани онлайн: книги (в Своге няма книжарница), дрехи, обувки, домашни потреби, битова техника,  мебели, офис консумативи, електроника, железария и материали, кафе, чай, козметика, храни, лекарства… в общи линии всичко, което го няма и може да бъде доставено тук на добра цена.

За онлайн пазаруването бяхме пуснали кратък пост още в първата година след преместването ни, но с времето нашите бял и черен списък на онлайн магазините претърпяха доста промени и май ще се наложи актуализация.

И планиране, планиране, планиране

Без кола, на човек му се налага да мисли и планира малко повече, преди да излезе от къщи. Лекарствата например – в Своге няма денонощна аптека и това ни принуждава вкъщи винаги да имаме базов запас лекарства и превръзки за първа помощ.
При пътуване до София по работа маршрута предварително се оптимизира, така че да свършим максимум полезна работа с едно ходене и минимум обикаляне. А обичайното ни слизане до Своге 2 пъти седмично за пазаруване е съчетано със социализация (хапване на кръчма), “да свършим каквото имаме в банката”, получаване на пратка от пощата или офиса на Еконт и понякога посрещане на някой близък на гарата.

И като заключение

Мисията “без кола в покрайнините на малкия град” е напълно възможна, но се съмнявам, че бихме се справили така добре и в някое по-отдалечено село.
С напредването на възрастта или при по-тежко заболяване може да се наложи да се обзаведем с МПС, но за момента ходенето пеша ни се отразява добре. Още повече, че липсата на кола ни спестява една прилична сума годишно :).
