My beloved cousin Dima has come in Moscow today. He's going to see Misha, his Dad, so he went there by train 'Donbass'!!! He'll arrive in Oreol today in the evening and I can imagine how Misha is going to be overexcited! Dima has become a more wise and good-natured  man than before as I got this feeling. I love him and wish him all the best... Here are two pics of us at the cafe and at Kurskaya railway station before leaving for Oreol. Love and hugs to all:))

Hey there, It was a memorable performance at the Railway Club House, where two short anecdotes from the old Saint Petersburg's time in Russia were staged. Maklakov, Zakharova and other great actors made it really funny and enjoyable. Hugs and kisses to all:))

Hey there. Today we've had our nearest and dearest visiting us at dacha. Klimochka is such a cute boy.... Katya and Stasik make him wear glasses and he does it, but not all the time. He loves music and dancing, it's fun. Have a look at some pics and video. Love and hugs to all my loved ones. http://youtu.be/zo9RDDPyvko

Hey, here we stay at sanatorium Zagorskie Dali. It used to be our favorite place for short stays outside Moscow firing 1991-1995. We'd had Matushka Anna and Slava's sister Alya with Ira and our Olia staying with us. Now we live in a lux 322 room. But many things are very familiar. Leaving for Moscow tomorrow, on November 4. Hugs and kisses to all:)

Hey there, here I am in Ekaterinburg concerning RU082 and TKT. It's really cold here, it's about -12-15C and snowfall very frequently. I've been at Spas on Blood Carhedral which was erected in 2003-2005 instead of Ipatiev House where Ydar's family was kept before shooting them on 17 July 1918. Awful story but it's Rusdia's history:(( Buy and hugs to you...

Here are my classes doing Pre-testing on two days - 13/15 Oct and 20/22 Oct. it was hard but useful!!

Hey there, our stay here is coming to an end:(( It's been a wonderful stay with very good weather, warm crystal -clear sea and good and plentiful food. So we're happy that we've chosen this hotel as it's really good and comfortable. Hope to come to Turkey again... Love and hugs to all my dearest!!!

Hey there, we've just arrived to the hotel Liberty Lara near Antalya.  The hotel is very modern, 5 star , with a huge panel mirror  TV across the wall and a splendid sea view from the balcony (4th floor). We are staying  here till Oct 11, Saturday. The weather is very gentle with sun and light breeze. I hope it'll stay like that for a week. We've already swam in the sea and played tennis. Great! Will post more pics later. Love and hugs to all my dearest! 

Hey, Here I am in Udelnata, at dacha.The days stay sunny and bright, though evenings and nights are cool. Next Saturday we're flying to Antalya, Turkey for a week as Stas needs some rest.Today we've had Marina. Kostya and Stephan visiting us. They are OK. Stephan is a bit shy but he has grown up since I last saw him.  The bad news is that Kliment has problems with one of his eyes, it is +7, while the other eye is normal. We all worry about it and hope for the God's help, let's prey for him ...Doma, you're a doctor, advise us what to do... Love and hugs to all...

Hey there, Here I am in Astrakhan on CIU assignment. I'll be doing my job tomorrow so today I've been around the city centre. This is the Astrakhan Kremlin with the Great Uspensky Cathedral full of icons and local Saints holy remains. I spent some time there and got really impressed. Tomorrow I'll go on sightseeing in the evening as I'm flying back on Sanday. Love and hugs to all my nearest:)

Hey there, Here I am, at dacha on Sept 6 2014. The weather is warm and sunny so I'm enjoying it knowing that this situation may change any time. Today is our dear Andy's Birthday and I want to wish him many happy moments in life. He and Olia are a very good couple, though Olia is not an easy person to meet all her expectations in life and ambitions. Be Happy with little Yanochka and have one more baby! Meanwhile, have a look at our suddenly blooming bush of Gibiscus that Marina planted one year ago and a funny dog I met next to us! Hugs to all of you

Hey there, my BC project book EFA "English for Academics" Book1 is ready!  I'm really happy as it took me two stressful and nervous years (2012-2015) to take part in this project. Today, at BC Moscow (28.08.14), there was a presentation of the book. I arrived 1,5 hours before and, to my great surprise, I could see the whole team (7peole) sitting together in a lobby room duscussing sth. I was amazed and greeted all of them - Rod, Sveta, Luidmila, Vasya and othhers, I even managed to listen to the presentation of the book. Anyway, great job! I'm the author and it's the Cambridge University Press (CUP) publishing house. I'm happy and proud, Hooray!
