Long and Tough Winter

I hated this Winter. First of all, it didn't seem winter at all. I can't remember a year when the January temperature was so high. (I can’t remember a January that has been so warm). There has been no snow; the ground is bare and the sky is grey and cloudy - and so everything looks for months. (and it has stayed like that mor months). I haven't even put my winter coat on yet - there's been no need for it. However this mild winter effects us even worse than normal. Considering the statistics which say that in St. Petersburg we have just around 50 sunny days annually, one can imagine how tough winter is here, especially the winter we have this year.

Perhaps that's why Spring-time is one of the best seasons in St. Petersburg. Everything and everyone becomes alive again as if we all have been imprisoned for a long time and then released. Dostoevsky brilliantly described this time period and the atmosphere of it in his "White Nights". Surely, we'll soon see it again. I hope so.

Last week

Last week it was my daughter’s and my birthday and we decided to celebrate together this weekend. We invited my family to have lunch in our home. (Or for lunch in our home).

I cooked a delicious cake and other things like Spanish omelet.

We were enjoying it a lot when suddenly we heard a noise, oh my god ! my cousin had fallen on the floor. He wasn’t conscious (or he wasn’t aware of his surroundings) so we called an ambulance to take him to hospital. Fortunately the doctor told his parents he was well.

I hope that next family birthday will be better!

The pure love

A true love is a miracle if it happens in your life. Some people are lucky enough to find it and others don't so they live in darkness and sadness in all their lives/all their life.

It's a huge contradiction, because you must choose your love carefully - you look for specific attributes - it's not easy but it's possible to find your soul-mate.

P. S If you don't love yourself you can't love anyone else.
