Bzzzzz… Bzzzzz… Bzzzzz… – Hey! Do you hear the bees? – Huh? – The bees! Can you hear them? – What bees? There are no bees here! – Well, what’s this buzzing in my head? Like you, I’ve been to over a thousand concerts. And I still continue to go to them. I’ve seen good […]
Life
Old Lady Hands
I’ve never liked my hands, even as a teenager. I used to secretly compare the skin on my hands with my classmates’ and friends’ hands. Their hands always looked so beautiful. Their skin was so smooth – like the skin of an ‘English rose’. I always thought that my hand skin looked like it was […]
Old Teeth
32 is basically the number of teeth you have in adulthood. That is, if you’ve got your wisdom teeth. And 28 is the number of teeth we’ve got, Cheryl and me. And yes, who knows why, but the wisdom teeth never appeared neither for her, nor for me!!! Some will say there’s a reason for […]
The Best Christmas Present Ever

So I’ll tell you a little story about this alcohol, which is very (too?) popular in Russia. […]

Nocturnal Disturbances
“Oh! I can’t stand it anymore! It’s the punks upstairs who are making all this noise! I’m going to call the police if it continues!” Of course, it’s not me who said these words, but my neighbour. Or, I should put it in the plural and say “my neighbourS”. And if you’re like me and […]
