My Day Before New Year

Hi, everybody! I’m Nastya. This year I’ve changed my marital status and the country of living. I’m married and live in Russia now. I want to describe you one day of my new life, December, 26, Monday.

We’re living in the house of my husband’s parents in Volgogdad region, Russia. There are 7 of us: my husbands parents, his younger brother with his girl-friend, Vanya, the youngest son in the family (He is 5) my husband and I. Also there lives a cat. I’ve never got a cat before and I keep distance. Before marriage I lived in Belarus.

Yesterday my dear husband promised me to help to take photos but in the morning he forgot everything. So I found a snapshot camera and went to the bathroom.

In this picture you can see a piece of soap I made myself. Soap-making is my new hobby.

We got up late. I’ve already taken a shower

but Sasha is still in bed. By the way, it’s 2.35 pm! I had to wake him up because I wanted to have photos made by his camera. It’s better than mine and I didn’t even know how to turn it on

Well, now I have a better camera and you can see a part of our room and a piece of the fur tree we spontaneously bought a few days ago.

We are in th kitchen and want to have breakfast… or lunch. But first I have to clean the stove.

Almost clean)

By the way, I learnt to peel potatoes, wash and press linen, and cook, and so on here. While Sasha’s in the bathroom, I tried to show him what I had learnt.

And this is my breakfast.

Sasha comes and fries his potatoes. It is 3.30 pm.

In spring Sasha’s uncle will come to live with us and our family will be bigger. By the way, this picture is painted by him.

We had our meal and went upstairs.

Downstairs in Vanya’s room we see a fur-tree. It’ll be decorated today.

One more picture by Sasha’s uncle.

These bears are my friends’ presents and I took them here as a part of my life in Belarus.

This is a present to my dear husband. I made it myself, the tea and the cloth.

Then I found my husband on the stairs with the cat. The cat’s name’s Boyarsky. He is good.

And sometimes it seems to me, that I like him So I’m ready and wait for my darling.

It’s 4.20 pm and we’re out. This is the house we live in.

This is me with Yolochka, a very friendly dog.

And these are Sasha and Berta.

And this is the window of our room.

Looking into our postbox.

We have a letter! It’s not for me (

The nearest shop. I can always find tasty cakes there.

The list of buyings…

Local drug store. I need some medicine because I have a cold.

We’re going down the street. The city is grey and dull. I don’t know if I’ll be able to accustom to it. My city is much better, I think.

And now we are in MAN, a supermarket.

These are our buys. I could take only these two pictures there because of the securities, who were against taking photos. I think, we won’t come there again.
