Cape Town – Odesa! In touch with Grandfather! 2019

Image
Yes, of course, I was in Cape Town, and Radu remained in Odesa. Do you remember that we lost our tickets because we were late for our flight and this time I flew away myself? I understand that Radu was bored without me, but thank God other times have come and we could communicate via the Internet. Imagine the old days, when people sent each other letters that took years, and sometimes got lost – that was sadness! And now we talked and saw each other almost every day, and my time there was slowly coming to an end. Кейптаун-Одеса! На зв’язку з Дідусем! Так, звісно, я перебувала у Кейптауні, а Раду залишився в Одесі. Ви пам’ятаєте, що ми втратили наші квитки через те, що запізнилися на свій рейс і цього разу я відлетіла сама. Я розумію те, що Раду нудьгував без мене, але слава богу настали інші часи і ми могли спілкуватися інтернетом. Уявіть собі колишні часи, коли люди відправляли один одному листи, які йшли роками, і ще іноді губилися – ось це був смуток! А тепер ми розмовляли і бачилис...

14 ДЕК 2023 Friday news from Limassol. December, 2023

https://www.facebook.com/groups/461052681344642 Winter has arrived and the weather in Limassol has become changeable. Finally, the rains started. I haven’t been able to swim in the sea yet; my back still hurts and I’m afraid of catching a cold. The main activity was spending time with George. He really enjoys spending time with him – he is our boy. A couple of days ago we took him to soccer practice and let me tell you, it was a test! Imagine boys running across a field during a thunderstorm! Thunder and lightning accompanied them throughout the entire training session and no one even thought to stop and wait out the rain. This is probably necessary because in real life football matches do not stop due to bad weather. And on Wednesday the sun came out and the boy and I captured this wonderful moment – we went for a long walk along the coast. And it was amazing. I only regretted that I couldn’t swim. I also want to talk about how magical orange and tangerine trees look on the city stree...

My birthday. 18 May 2019, Cape Town

Image
We celebrated my birthday this year 2019 with a small group of women, and it was wonderful. In the morning we took a ride in an old Mercedes convertible along the roads of our beloved Noordhoek. Then for lunch, we went to V&A Waterfront and ate at my very, very favorite sushi restaurant, Willoughby & Co. Here, in Cyprus, where we have been living for the second year, I have not had the opportunity to eat normal sushi more than once, and the boys and I often remember our last trip to the Mango restaurant in Odesa. The sushi there is much better than in all other places in Odesa, but Willoughby & Co. can not be compared with anything – it is the most delicious sushi I have ever eaten. In the evening, returning from Waterfront, the girls arranged dessert for me with candles and sang Happy Bearsday in chorus! We lit a fire in the fireplace and ended our evening in pleasant and warm conversations. Мій день народження. 18 травня 2019 року, Кейптаун Мій день народження цього 2019 ...
