Summer has arrived, yes. At 6 pm the temperature is 33 degrees. This year the summer has spared us. Last year it started not in mid-June, but in April and lasted until October. I am slowly adapting. It used to seem impossible to me to go for walks in the summer, but now I have found a window! I get up at 6 am and go for a long walk, then to my beach and swim. I try to change my schedule and change my rituals every day. One day – yoga and swimming, the next day – promenade and swimming. The sea here is not our Black, it is saltier and it holds. You don’t expect it to. Now I understand those who hang far from the shore and just hang there. And I swim and count my strokes. This allows me more time in the sea! I have been learning Greek with Duolingo for the second year. As before, there is no one to talk to. I only hear Greek when I’m driving and I already have some familiar songs. The kids have finished school. Now we have a new job, taking Theo to the Skate Park, by the way he’s making ...

Today, June 25, is my mother Klymenko Maria Vasilievna’s birthday. How wonderfully we always celebrated this day. Mom would set the table in the garden on French Boulevard, right above us the Cable Car boats would whizz by! The table was always elegant, Mom would set out a festive service. I still remember the white plates with delicate roses. And the food was just so delicious! All our relatives came to the birthday party, mom’s brother Mykola and his wife Nadia and son Yurko came from Illichivsk. And the flowers for this holiday were of course dahlias – mom loved them very, very much. If everyone were alive, there would be no room for our family at this table. Сьогодні 25 червня – день народження моєї матусі Клименко Марії Василівни. Як ми завжди чудово святкували цей день. Мама накривала стіл у садку на Французькому бульварі, прямо над нами снували човники Канатної дороги! Стіл завжди був вишуканим, мама виставляла святковий сервіз. Я пам’ятаю досі білі тарілочки з ніжними трояндочк...

Біда не приходить одна. Одеса, червень 2025 року https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642/posts/1867492337367329/ я щойно писала про біду, що трапилася з Женею Лукашовим, а тут побачила повідомлення від Олі Котлярової. У неї під час чергової атаки згоріла творча майстерня. Найголовніше це те, що Оля та її дочка Таня не постраждали. Misfortunes never come alone. Odesa, June 2025 I was just writing about the misfortune that happened to Zhenya Lukashov, and then I saw a message from Olya Kotlyarova. Her creative workshop burned down during another attack. The most important thing is that Olya and her daughter Tanya were not hurt.

Sad not only for us, but for the whole world. Our cities are being mercilessly destroyed, and innocent people are dying. This week, for the first time, I saw a loved one who became a victim of shelling. This is Zhenya Lukashov, or more precisely, Evgeny Otarovich Lukashov, an artist, musician, and collector. I have known Zhenya since childhood, and his mother was my ballet teacher at the Officers' Club. Zhenya's wife Gelya, studied with me in the same group at the OGHU. Zhenya always came to the openings of exhibitions and presentations that took place in my galleries. And now he is wounded, his photo was shown in the feed of Alena Silvashi, it was she who helped him in the first moments of the disaster. How wonderful that despite the cruelty of current events, people remain people and do not lose their humanity. I really...

Fake sale! This week, I sold my paintings to scammers! As usual, a lady contacted me on Facebook and asked for my WhatsApp number. She allegedly contacted me as her boss. He asked me to send him photos of the works available for sale. I did not send the photos. It takes too much time. I sent a link to my Saatchi Art. He chose 7 works, one of which is in Ukraine. He asked me to indicate the price. He did not even ask my location! I asked who would handle the shipping - he said that he would do it. It is clear that this is a trick; the purpose of this trick is unclear. The final cost of the 6 works was 17,500 Euros. Interestingly, he promised payment not to PayPal, as usual, but to the account that I provided. I have been waiting! For several days now! And, of course, I didn't wait. The most interesting thing about these numerous appeals is that they create some kind of ephemeral hope! What if it's true? And as they say, dreaming is not harmful. But I made a conclusion for myself...
