Zachatiev Convent

Image
Hey there. Here we’re in Moscow. It’s pretty frosty and snowy here. After UAE (Dubai) it’s rather cold. Today I’ve been to Zachatiev  Convent. It’s become very beautiful and festive after all renovations. I made some pics. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Dubai - New Year 2019

Image
Hey there, here we are in Dubai, Emirates.  We arrived on Dec. 28. It’s very sunny here and the sea is  about 25С. The city is grand but all stone high rise buildings are the only landscape visible from the sea. I think the place lacks nature and mountains. But still there are a lot of Europeans - Italy, Netherlands,  Britain etc. Also shopping malls here are great! Love and hugs to all my dearest!

Baku in Mid December

Image
Hey there. It was a great trip to Baku (AZ019). I was impressed by the city's improvements for better. The streets are clean, the people - friendly and the food - great. The Embankment is so gorgeous and shining. I walked down it and tried to imagine my being there in my early childhood. Hard work!! Hope to come here again. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Yakutsk

Hey there, here I am in Sakha Yakutia. Leaving tomorrow, but today, after NEFU, I was driven around by Nikita, a nice local guy who showed me the old city and the monument to  its founder - Beketov. The city is over 300 years old. The temperature was -35C only. So it’s my good luck as -45-50C is usual here and it’s almost unbearable as Nikita said. Have a look at some pics. Love and hugs to all my nearest and dearest.

Mid November in Moscow

Image
It's a long time since I last posted, sorry. Many things have changed and happened. First of all, I begin with the very bad news - Yana and Michael have split and now she's moving back to Moscow. I am unable to judge what has really caused this and I don't want to be judgmental, but I am very sorry for it. I was happy with their marriage and wished them good life and luck. But now it's a shock and distress. Overall, I tend to be on Yana's side, as she was led by him (when he wanted to be her 'Hero'), and he's the man! I hope she'll eventually get over this 'drama' as she has taken everything so close to her heart. Second, I was for Inspection in Baku and really enjoyed staying there, just in the city center (Austin hotel). Will go there in mid-December too. No Inspections in November! But December is going to be different. I also enjoyed Michael Larionov's exhibition at Krimsky Val, where I was with Alla, a friend of mine Love and ...

She’s busy, but at leadt we could spend some time with her. Hope to see her on another day too.  Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Back from Tekirova

Dima and Lena in Moscow

Image
Hey there, today I’ve seen Dima, Lena, Alla and Sergei at the hotel “National”. Dima has just seen Michael in Amsterdam and said they’ll manage their family relationships themselves. I fully agree with him as they are not very young so have some life experience. Alla and Sergei are very nice and friendly people, I loved them very much. Let’s hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed for the new family. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

Back in Moscow, Sept/ 2018

Hey there, We've come back from Cyprus and are preparing for the first week. I plan to start classes on Sept 10. Hope this goes well. Our holiday in Cyprus was very short but full of good impressions. I'm happy for Stasik as he seems to be doing well working in Larnaka. Big hugs to my dearest.

Larnaka and Paphos

Image
Hey there, Here we are at Paphos, 140 km from Larnaka, where we arrived from Moscow on Aug. 22. We stay at the hotel with seaview. Yesterday we spent the whole day at Larnaka  so we could see Stas, Katya and Klim. We also managed to see Gulia, who came from Nicosia to see us. It was really nice and jolly to spend time together. Stas’s apartment is very good and specious. He’s doing well. Hugs to all my dearest.
