Hey there, Blizzard is over and sunny but cold weather is here again. It was a hard week as I've had exams and graduation presentations of my 4th year students at HSE. But still I managed to see Lena who is in Moscow now doing her usual theatrical business with American students. We spent some time in a cafe talking about our nearset and dearest people - Dima, Nun Anna, Olia and others. It was very nice to see Dima's book and learn about its success and other things about Dima's business. I think all changes regarding Dima's business are for better and sooner or later they must have happened...So it's just matter of time. Well, love and hugs to all of you.

For 3 days already it has been very windy and snowy in Moscow.Awful blizzard is here to stay... It's very unpleasant as we are fed up with this cold and snow for so long. Everybody is looking forward to spring now. But it does not seem to come this year. I left my new car behind at dacha as I was afraid of not being able to drive it on icy road. So I was stumping through showdrifts to the train station. Well, still looking forward to better weather , hopefully:((

I have been in Sochi on March 15/16 on CI business. It was a gymnazium where I spent 8 hours watching candidates doing Cambridg English exams. After that I spent a couple of hours driving around Sochi in taxi and talking with drivers. Sochi has become a very urban city with many skyscrapers along the Kurortniy alley. Traffic jams are awful, worse than in Moscow. Winter Olympic Games are coming and this makes Sochi not a cosy and nice a place as it used to be when I was a child and went to Sochi with my Granny. It's a pity...I'm sorry for Sochi:(( Love and hugs to you..

Hi everybody, I am here in Moscow and slightly unwell after my 4 day trip to Barselona. It lasted from 28 Feb to March 5th. It was really tiring but very exciting. We arranged in Barselona a kind of family reunion - Dad, me, Olya and Masha (she arrived from Munich, to see Olya). Barselona is a stunning place with its narrow streets and the Sea, which is beautiful and gorgeous... Olia is pregnant and it's OK, as the girl who is about to be born in June is a long awaited one. So have a look at some magnificent pics we made there (Gaudi's masterpieces and other places and shots). Hope you love it. Hugs and kisses...:))
