The end of summer in Akrunta (http://binovskaya.com/friday-news-from-akrunta-2022-life.../) We moved into this beautiful house three months ago in the midst of the Cypriot summer. Many assured us that we would not survive the heat. Many leave the island in search of coolness. But we did not notice the real hell, probably because we lived in the mountains. There were days when the temperature in the shade reached 36-37 degrees, but this was not so often. Remembering the heat in Odessa, I remember the summer months when the temperature was high for weeks and the expected coolness did not come in the evening. At night I had to run to the shower in order to cool down or turn on the air conditioner - which I really do not like. Summer is coming to an end and signs of autumn have already become noticeable. Our cheerful and very noisy neighbors, the cicadas, disappeared - they went into a long-term hibernation, the leaves began to slowly fall from the poplars. And most importantly - clouds b...

http://binovskaya.com/a-story-about-how-much-i-love-thorns-cypriot-notes-2022/ A story about how I love thorns. Cyprus notes. In Odesa on the Karolino Bugaz, I know one species of thorny plants, which have always captured my respect. I have written compositions from them several times. I'll show you one of them. In fact, as you know, we live in the mountains and I rarely go out into the place - I live in the solitude of nature and do not tire of showing mercy and getting to know the life that I am away from. A few days ago I saw new thorns that had appeared, the stinks attracted me not only with their shape but with their color. A wonderful landscape of a deep and speculative summer of fermentation in golden-yellow and densely green tones, and these cunning plants have sprouted their blakity. I finished the job, armed myself with knives and thick kitchen gloves, descended from the mountain, and picked a bunch of sprouts. The stench appeared incredibly prickly. Today I have come to ...

Another terrible evening in the very heart of Odesa protected by UNESCO 7 casualties are reported. The Bristol Hotel, formerly Hotel Krasnuy, we called it Krasnenkaya! In the 80s, artists from all over the city chose the hotel bar as a place for daily morning meetings over a cup of instant coffee. The smell of coffee could be felt even in the area of ​​Privokzalnaya Square. And on paydays, many who worked at the Foundation and OPKHOTS would gather in the evenings and treat each other to a horse. What times were there and who wouldn't you meet there? Every morning, every evening I carefully check the news. Yesterday I saw this HORROR. They reached our center, the heart of the city. God, when will this stop and when will those who consider themselves human understand that these bastards must be erased from our planet, cleansed so that not a trace of them remains. Готель Брістоль, у минулому Красная, ми називали її Красненькая! Художники всього міста у 80 роки обрали бар готелю місцем...

We are alive. My life is practically calculated by the minute. Wake up at 7:00 – yoga classes. Now the artificial grass in our yard is dry, and fortunately there are no flies, so I am happy to practice. In addition, this is necessary in order to strain my sore shoulder and sprained foot. On Monday, after more than two months of break due to foot pain, I was able to take a walk to the Amathus Hotel and back! Congratulations to myself. And yesterday we had a holiday – January 30 in Cyprus and in Greece is not a starting day. The calendar has special significance as the day of writing (Εορτή των Γραμμάτων), as well as the memory of three saints: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom. Although the memory of these saints is sacred on the 1st, 25th, and 27th of each day, in the 11th century Metropolitan John Mauropods of Euchaiti established their holy day on the 30th today. The history of the saint is similar to the activities of the emperors Kostyantina 9 and Oleksia...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/556755141927324/posts/1669380980664729/ In the summer of 2022, I decided to take a break from the sadness of performing works dedicated to military themes and decided to paint my favorite life companion ZEBRAS. Looking at the cozy hills of our village, I often thought about why the locals don’t get zebras? It seems to me that the climate is suitable and zebras would really like to live here. But alas, I was not lucky enough to see zebras, cows, or sheep, believe me, for all three years of living on the island. Зебри Акрунти. Влітку 2022 року я вирішила трохи відволіктися від смутку виконання робіт присвячених військовій тематиці і вирішила написати своїх улюблених супутників життя ЗЕБР. Дивлячись на затишні пагорби нашого села, я часто думала про те, чому б місцевим жителям не завести собі зебр? Мені здається, що і клімат підходящий і зебрам дуже сподобалося б жити тут. Але, на жаль, ні зебр, ні кором, ні овець, повірте мені за всі три роки життя на остр...

I told you that I would be taking part in the PICTA-25 exhibition in Forli, Italy and that I intended to go there. My plan was also to finally get to the Vertiana Carnival. But my plan has changed. I will not fly to Italy. I received an order to paint a mural in a newly opened restaurant. The restaurant is supposed to open in early April. So I am sending the works by mail. Initially, I painted my favorite African animals, especially for this exhibition. But since sending them by mail was very expensive, I painted the triptych Third Roosters, and I will send them today. I was a little stressed out by communicating with the Cyprus post office, but everything seems to have worked out. To make the message more interesting, I offer you a video of the party celebrating the birthday of our Rada in Nordok. Specially invited musician – Ricardo Moretti, I adore him! Я казала вам, що буду брати участь у виставці PICTA-25 у Форлі, Італія, і маю намір туди поїхати. Мій план також полягав у тому, що...

The second month of our life in Akrounta and we celebrate the birthday of our beautiful boy Georgiy. To be honest, it’s hard for me to imagine my life away from him. He has become our true friend. We share our dreams with him and most importantly, we understand each other perfectly. I know that when he grows up and has new interests, he will not be so happy with me. So for now, I enjoy his company. Життя у Акрунті. День народження Гео. 2022 Другий місяць нашого життя в Акрунті, і ми відзначаємо день народження нашого прекрасного хлопчика Георгія. Якщо чесно сказати, мені важко уявити своє життя далеко від нього. Він став своїм справжнім другом. Ми ділимося з ним своїми мріями і найголовніше чудово розуміємо одне одного. Я знаю, що коли він виросте і в нього з’являться нові інтереси, йому вже не буде так добре зі мною. Так що поки що, я насолоджуюся його суспільством.
