Hey there, Feb's passed and the war between Russia and Ukraine began. But it'll be covered mostly in March report and now about February We had three birthdays in Feb- Marina's (15), Nana's (16) and mine (27th). Let's look at some of them:                     I got sick with Covid (Omikron) in mid Feb after watching the film "Gucci Family" in the movie theatre. My illness was awful as it was accompanied with other problems relating to my female organs. But thanks God!, I made all the medical check ups and they said I had no cancer. That'simportant!. Hugs to all my nearest and  dearest. I'll tell you more about our trip to Tbilisi next time, in the March publication.

Hey there, It's been a long since I posted last time. Many things happened and the New Year 2022 began. We had a lovely Christmas and NY holiday in Egypt, Khurgada. We stayed there till January 6 and then got back home.  Our stay there was really good, even though the weather was a bit windy and the sea not so warm for comfortable swimming (only 21C). But still it was sunny and pleasant. Here are some pics: In January we started our usual things to do: Slava - business, Me - teaching twice a week. On Thursday we usually go to a dacha. This winter is very snowy and we walk around our village with difficulty. In Moscow, I visited Zachatiev monastery to worship The God Mother but it was under quarantine  That's all about our news. February has just begun. Love and hugs to all my dearest and nearest.   

November 2021 - Tula and St Pets

Image
We came back from Olia's on Nov 11 and then on Nov 12, I went to Tula by train. I arrived there in the evening it was already dark. I walked around the centre and got back to the "SOFYA" hotel in the centre. The centre RU152 received IR and I went back home. Tula is an old and interesting city but I saw very little of it, which is a pity. On Nov 27 I started by SUPSUN Train to St Pets, very early in the morning. I had an excursion around Petropavlovskaya fortress and then we drove to the Vasilievsky island at the Smolensky cemetery with Ksenya Petrburzhskaya. It was really gorgeous. Both places I enjoyed a lot, even though it was windy and freezing. On Nov 19/20 my schoolchildren did PETs exam at LLink. I was there SE - Interlocutor, not Assessor. Thank God!!! Love and hugs to all my dearest and nearest!!

October 2021- Kaliningrad and Olia's visiting and Travelling

Image
Hey there, Here we are in Sacramento. We arrived on October 26. It was a long and difficult journey as we stayed in LA for a night at the 'Four Points' hotel, which we entered at about 1am.  In Sacramento, I spent the first two days with a terrible stomach ache as I ate something inappropriate either at the hotel or at the business lounge. Anyway, now I'm much better and enjoying nice weather and bright autumn in Sacramento. In mid-October I had a regular trip to Kaliningrad, which was amazing as usual.  This city is a GEM of Russia . Kids and Olia are doing well. Halloween is today and many people have scary Figures outside their homes. Crazy! Here are some pics:

September 2021 Hey there. September 2021 was uneventful and plain. We stayed at the dacha.  The weather was rather cool for September and overcast.  On Sept. 17-19 I was in Novosibirsk doing my business. There, I met my friend Zoya and Sasha (her daughter). They took me to akademgorodok city to the chamber music concert (violin and symphony orchestra) and also we walked in the botanical garden. It was beautiful and sunny!  In late September we visited Marina's home - now she has got a cat - sphinx, it's funny and kind, but Slava reacted to her with allergy:( Have a look at some pics:
