One Day At the Pancake Festival!

Hello,

My name is Anna, I am a housekeeper and I’m 32. I live in a nice city Kemerovo. As many modern housekeepers I like cooking, photography, writing in my culinary blog. Besides I am a big lover of dogs and cats. I have 4 pets! This day was unusual.
In February, 26 all the country was saying goodbye to the winter and celebrated Maslenitsa so we were in too…

I wake up

Husband is still sleeping, it’s his day off. But do housewives have days off? Probably only if they are taken to hospital! I am happy that we’ll spend this day together with husband, it doesn’t happen often.

In the bathroom. Have to clean the cats’ toilets too…

This is Malvina. She’s been recently operated on so now she has to wear a protective gown. But she’s healthy.

Denis sleeping )

Have to cook breakfast for all the family. Cats were forbidden to eat fry food so have to cook for them too… I’ll boil chicken leg quarters…

Have to walk with the dogs.

By the way it’s son of Malvina

The dog likes to threaten big dogs..)

The outfit like this is not to look glamorous, it’s -22C outside so without it we’d walk not longer than 30 seconds. Siberia is not the place for glamour.

Finally I can find some time to wash my head and apply some make up. I use only mascara…

I call the dogs to eat

Time

Denis is still sleeping and I have some time to make corn pancakes for breakfast. But I guess it won’t be enough for husband and he’ll heat the fish with rice I cooked yesterday.

Yesterday evening I made a cool dessert and now I want to photograph it. Usually I arrange a mini photo studio in the bedroom, but today It will be here.

Look who’s here!

The dessert. Today I don’t feel inspired.

This is Darcy, the great shelf climber! We hide all vases from her!

Time to dress the wound of Malvina. I iron a fresh gown and check her stitches.

Don’t want to return to the mess so I decide to do the flat.

She thinks that the cord is alive

Denis is surfing the internet and others participate

Malvina in a fresh gown

Off we go. I’s become warmer.

Wonder sail building

On the way we buy this bag for a camera and a brush for lenses.

Crossing the Tom that divides our city into two parts. I will show it to you. Kemerovo is the only city of Russia that has a pine forest in its heart.

We’ve run out of fuel. And there are long lines at the filling stations. We didn’t expect that so many people would go in our direction too.

Fishers’ flashmob ))

OMG, how many cars!

The folk band is creating festive mood

10 USD for a ticket, it was an unpleasant surprise

Winter fun. We have 6 months of winter, so people have much stuff to have fun on the snow.

Residence of Ded Moroz (Father Frost)

Nice singing! The guys are from the Academy of Arts. We have missed funny competitons, such as tug of war…

Museum – reserve Tomsk Pisanitsa (Writing) was founded in the place where ancient drawings had been found on the rocks.

The Tom river

Going to the exposition telling about the ancient history of our region

Old Shor houses were reconstructed here

Real house of Baba Yaga!

The main victim of today!

5 USD for barbecue

Ancient calendars

The singing group in the company of … police..)

The chapel

Jeanne d’Arc of our time!

Trying to be among the first to come to the car!

We promise ourselves we won’t come here on holidays anymore!

Kemerovo

Lesnaya Polyana (satellite town). Our city is proud of this project (the town from the null).

We are not going home but to the village where we have a plot of land. Workers had to place pillars and supply electricity but we have been hoping in vain… Russia as it is! Time of innovations and technologies, and simple tasks can’t be fulfilled!
