Watch:  https://youtu.be/XyW6nlnoNw8 Yesterday, guests gathered at the Account in Sylvia's house, our Ukrainian girls decided to celebrate the Constitution Day of Ukraine, being in forced immigration in Cyprus. I think about how important it is now for us Ukrainians living outside the country to be worthy and proudly represent ourselves to the world. For many, many years in a row, the imperial policy of our enemies destroyed us as a nation and practically would have done it if it were not for the culture and independence of our people in our blood and not to eradicate this. How nice it is to watch and admire the beauty and efficiency of our women, many of whom live here with small children, without husbands - husbands remained to defend our Motherland. The women agreed among themselves and brought dishes of Ukrainian cuisine prepared at home, there was even real Transcarpathian salo on the table - our Ukrainian brand! But how can one do without the sacrament of modeling dumplings? ...

October - Food market. Odesa https://www.facebook.com/binovskaya/videos/10210433670539193 In Odesa, there is always a place to go and the city pleases with its new locations, such as, for example, the city food market, which is located in the former Ukraine cinema. Many memories are associated with this place, including those that led to the attic, where at that time there were creative workshops of such famous artists as Valentin Filipenko, Nikolai Morozov, and Vladimir Tsyupko. Regarding the market, the idea is very good. Odessa needs a place where the public can gather and have a great time because food remains the top priority in the lives of Odessans. And since in Ukraine most of the time requires people to be indoors, and not on the street, as in Cape Town, this decision pleases everyone. We came to the market to eat oysters with the whole of our large family, and while Sylvia and the men were choosing treats, the children and I managed to get acquainted with the cheerful guests ...

Odesa. Our ladies' company. October How good it is to have daughters and granddaughters, we are not afraid to be alone and we always have a good and pleasant company.

Natasha Baklanova. In the summer, I met Natasha Baklanova, whom I met in the distant 90s when I registered the MChP enterprise on Uyutnaya, my first private gallery. In order not to describe again our acquaintance, I will leave a link to the history of the creation of the gallery, but here I will simply tell about our meeting. http://binovskaya.com/gallery-opening/ At the time when we met, Natalya Vladimirovna occupied a high position, she was the chief lawyer of the City Council of the city of Odessa under Ruslan Bodelan, our then measure. But the government changed and it became difficult for her. At the time of our meeting, she worked in the Chkalov sanatorium and tried to create a library there for vacationers. After the meeting, I visited her in the office, which was located in a former club, an old and abandoned building, I wanted to help her, but I did not know how. Just before that, I donated many art books and other books to the Science Library. So our meeting, to my great reg...

Odessa summer. How beautiful our city is and how one can not admire it. In that distant summer of 2017, Radu and I often walked along the embankment and I have a few photos left as a keepsake. Langeron, a place of pilgrimage for tourists, has a dolphinarium, and fountains, it gave me pleasure to watch the kids frolicking there, and I even thought about painting a picture of these fountains. And today in my city there is a war and people are raking tons of broken glass out of their apartments after the rocket attack. I do not know what and how with the dolphins, but I am sure that we will survive this obscurantism and return to our beloved city Одеса літня.  Яким же прекрасним є наше місто і як можна не захоплюватися ним. Того далекого літа 2017 року ми з Раду часто гуляли набережною і в мене залишилося кілька фотографій на згадку. Ланжерон, місце паломництва туристів, дельфінарій, фонтанчики, мені приносило задоволення спостерігати за дітлахами, що там веселяться, і я навіть думала...

Friday, News. My guests on araucaria: Santa Barbara village, Limassol New guests came to visit me at the araucaria growing nearby. Before that, a crow lived on it, but she found a friend and made a nest somewhere nearby. And for a couple of days now I have been hearing new voices, similar to the knock of a woodpecker or the clatter. And yesterday I examined the aliens - they were two large birds with light bellies and dark heads, they turned out to be: Cheglog of Eleonora, or alet, or Eleonora's falcon (lat. Falco eleonorae) is a species of bird of prey of the falcon genus. A bird of prey with such a romantic name! The bird was named in honor of Eleonora d'Arborea, the ruler of one of the feudal states of medieval Sardinia, who became famous for her humane laws in her time, which protected, in particular, birds of prey. The length of the bird is 36-42 cm, and the wingspan is 87-104 cm, which is larger than the common hobby. It is similar in coloration to the latter, but there a...

Film Festival. 2017 There is never a dull moment in Odessa. Our Sylvia is a big fan of cinema and she tries never to miss such an interesting event that takes place in Odessa. Usually, they send her a special invitation, but this time it somehow didn’t work out. And I offered my help to Sylvia and turned to my friend Natasha Ertnova, the wife of the outstanding musician Yuri Kuznetsov. Natasha has always led the festival preparation team. I managed to get an invitation for Sylvia, but at the last moment, Sylvia was still sent an invitation. We decided that I would also need to go to the festival, despite the fact that I had long since avoided public events. So I had to step onto the red carpet. Sylvia dressed me in her dress, which was too long for me, and my steps on the red carpet were fraught with difficulty. I was afraid that I would fall. The ticket I got was somewhere at the very top and it was not very convenient there. I saw that the most expensive first rows were empty, and de...
