Overdue news flash
Hi there.
Summer is past and Autumn is drawing to a close as well. Our farming days at our 'Little house on the prairie', as one of my friends called it, are over for the year. I must say, the weather was very disappointing this Summer. We even had to fire the stove in August.
We did fix our banya, though, thanks to our friend Andrey from Moscow. It turned out there was a lot of dirt inside, underneath the chimney. If it wasn't for Andrey, I wouldn't even have known where to start looking.
We can't complain about the crops, there were lots of flowers as well...
I took quite a lot of pictures, but most of them are of flowers and insects. I don't think many of you are interested in those, so I don't think I'll put them online. I also have quite a few pictures of handicrafts, things that Olga and I made. Those I probably will put online. The few pictures of us will appear some day soon. I will let you know when I put them online.
Furthermore, we have redecorated our apartment. We've papered the walls, painted the windows and floors and bought a few new pieces of furniture (new kitchen table and a chest of drawers). We are quite satisfied with the result. We have also rearranged our old furniture in order to make room for a crib. Yes, you read that right: a crib.
Olga and I are expecting a baby. If all goes well, it should be born around November 21. We've been told it's a boy. So, let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for everything to turn out fine.
On the work front, I've started translating again. Small texts for now, because I don't want to be confined to our apartment yet. The long, cold Winter will be here soon enough...
Olga hasn't gone back to work. She's already on pregnancy leave. She mainly visits all kinds of hospitals and gynecologists (I accompany her, of course) and knits and sews baby clothes.
Guess that's it for now.
