This is of course a loud name, but we all tried to arrange our life in the village. Silvia bought more and more flowers, and Radu planted them. Our daddy has a real gift for caring for plants. He feels them and under his golden hands everything blooms. But the climate of Cyprus does not allow jokes. In the summer it gets very, very hot, and the plants require daily watering. Radu even watered the olives that grew on the slopes growing on the slopes below the house. He took such good care of them that the following year they gave us a harvest in gratitude. This is a separate story and I will tell you about it when the time comes. While we lived together with Silvia, the plants were doing well. But then, when we moved, there was no one to take care of them, because both Silvia and Kostya were at work all day long. Ландшафтний дизайн в Акрунті. 2022.

Here comes Friday and I will tell you about the events of the last week. The most important thing is that Sylvia and George flew to Vienna to Marseille. At least for a couple of days, our dear girl will be able to disconnect from her restaurant. Everything is fine in the Restaurant – the guys are working, and we also contribute. We do the shopping. We have to be very careful and attentive, I will tell you why. We buy fresh octopuses. Octopus means that it has 8 legs (ha-ha) and everyone knows this. But last time we came across an unfamiliar seller and he behaved like a trickster, he quickly threw the octopuses on a weighing dish and did not even let us examine them. Then it turned out that several of them had only 4 tentacles. This time we asked them to count their legs in front of us! In this section I often take pictures of interesting fish to get to know them better and I found something interesting. The first one was very interesting in color, sandy greenish and similar to ou...
Life in Immigration. Akrounta. Cats from Sylvia.

Cats in Cyprus are a separate story. And if you can imagine a symbol of the island, then it will not be olives or tangerines – it will only be cats. I am sure that the number of cats on the island is several times greater than the local population. There are incredibly many of them and it is believed that they protect people from snakes. When we lived in apartments on Pecora, the cats grazing on the garbage bins around the complex were disgusting. Now, in Akrounta, when the owner of the house we were renting came, several neighboring cats rushed to him for food. But when one day we were invited to dinner by the neighbors, we were very surprised to find that in his house alone there were more than twenty of them. But one day Sylvia and Radu were returning from work and climbing the mountain, and right on the road they saw a snake. Sylvia is very afraid of snakes, although according to the description and words of her neighbor Nikos, it is an ordinary grass snake. But Sylvia decided to p...
Life in Akrounta. Dried fish. 2022

When I was small, I didn’t really like fish. Not that I didn’t like it, but I didn’t have a particular passion for it. Mom cooked very tasty fish in tomato sauce, we ate it with pleasure and I still remember its taste. And when mom fried gobies, she couldn’t tear herself away from them. She ate them almost whole and it was like a ritual. And only now I began to understand my mother and really love fish. And our Sylvia is a fan in general, especially dried fish. Living in Cyprus, you can’t find such a luxury as dried fish. And since our boys go fishing to the lake occasionally, they catch a lot of fish. So we came up with the idea of arranging a fish dryer, especially since there is enough sun here. So we began to supply our daughter with dried fish. And we dried it until one unpleasant incident, which I will tell you about later. Життя у Акрунті. Сушена рибка. 2022 Коли я була маленька, то не зовсім любила рибу. Не те що не любила, але не мала особливої пристрасті до неї. Мама го...
