Friday News from Limassol. Ben is flying towards us! March, 2024.

Image
As I already wrote, on March 7 Benjamin turned 18! He has reached adulthood. Ben is our first grandchild and before his birth we of course flew to Cape Town. And I will show you our photos – the evening before the birth, the whole family in the hospital and finally our meeting with a little African sunbeam. Before his birthday this year, the Rada asked his son, what would he like to receive as a gift for his 18th birthday? And you know what he answered – he said that his greatest desire was to see us, his grandparents, who live in forced resettlement in Cyprus. And his wish comes true. On Monday, March 25th, Ben is coming to visit us. Of course, we don’t have decent conditions for him to live, but as they say, it’s cramped, but not offensive. The main thing is that we meet and can hug each other! П’ятничні Новини з Лімассолу. До нас летить Бен! Як я вже писала, 7 березня нашому Бенжаміну виповнилося 18 років! Він досяг повноліття. Бен наш перший онук і перед його народженням ми звичайн...

Our friend is Camellia. February, 2020.

Image
http://binovskaya.com/our-friend-is-camellia-february-2020/ Having visited Australia, I fell in love with one of the plants – the camellia. Previously, I had only heard about it in the title of the novel “The Lady of the Camellias” by  Alexandre Dumas, but I had never seen it anywhere before. I didn’t even think about the fact that camellias come in different colors. When I heard the word camellia, a frame of some light flower appeared in my head, I don’t know why. Once Radu and I were in the wonderful store Vash Sad on French Boulevard. We love it very much and very often come there during our long walks, and this year we saw and bought this beautiful plant for ourselves. Camellia became our friend, one might say, a pet. We looked after her tenderly, looked forward to new flowers and our troubled days during the pandemic became much more pleasant thanks to our beautiful friend. On February 24, 2022, we left our home in a hurry, we had to help our Sylvia take the children out. Our ...

March – 2020. Sacred Isolation

Image
FB post: “Clouds are gathering over the world – a terrible disease is coming upon us and life is becoming more and more alarming. Radu and I have gotten used to isolation over the past 10 years. Life in Cape Town has taught us to live without society and therefore we do not suffer, but on the contrary, we find entertainment and inspiration for creating new projects. I returned after stagnation to my YouTube channel and am creating many new wonderful projects there. Today I will share with you a video of the Sea Ocean project and if you are interested, I invite you to subscribe to my channel! https://youtu.be/3sbIWHeU9Ac https://youtu.be/ciZmhEypUio https://youtu.be/3sbIWHeU9Ac https://youtu.be/ciZmhEypUio Березень – 2020. Сакральна Ізоляція ФБ пост: «Хмари згущуються на світом-на нас йде страшна хвороба і життя стає все більш тривожним. Ми з Радою за останні 10 років звикли до ізоляції. Життя в Кейптауні навчило нас жити без суспільства і тому ми не страждаємо, а навпаки, знаходимо для...

February 2020. My Youtube channel.

Image
I have now reviewed all my publications on the channel in February 2020, and can you imagine the number of them? There are NINE! It is in February I created a new project on the channel called “Art Collection”, where in February I presented the video project “Sea Ocean” in two parts, “Presentation of the 15th anniversary of the Maritime Art Gallery”, a film commissioned by the Maritime Gallery about the Odessa artist Victor Pavlov, and a film shot back in 1994 about the exhibition “Made in Odessa” in the Art Gallery, which was held by the gallery “Na Uyutnoi” and several videos about my beloved Cape Town. So, as you can see, I don’t get bored and I don’t fall into depression, but I work productively. All these films are available on my CHANNEL, where I invite you! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdb6YRq6ptzkKEspYEJTeMQ https://youtu.be/_lABEg5oxnE https://youtu.be/ciZmhEypUio https://youtu.be/HtNJT6HHbe8 https://youtu.be/9vDvFgEqKGE Февраль 2020.

Limassol Grand Parade 2024.

Image
https://youtu.be/BX5yxchBZyk Yesterday the final 10-day Grand Parade carnival took place in Limassol and I was able to immerse myself in it. What I felt on the eve of this event is difficult to describe in words. Another barbaric raid on his native Odessa, dozens killed and wounded. I have a lump inside that comes to my throat, I cry all the time. But I decided to go to the carnival, no matter what. I decided and did it. In the morning, Sylvia and Marcel, who were on their way to work at the restaurant, stopped by to pick me up. The start of the procession was announced at 13:00. I spent time in the restaurant, watered all the flowers and helped prepare the restaurant for opening. Before that, I had mapped out a route for myself and showed it to Sylvia, but she found me a different route and even took me by car to the place where the columns were formed. This was the place where the holiday was born! I was greeted by loud music, the smell of fried meat – Sovlaki – local kebabs and a c...
