On Monday, Ira and I went over to Masha’s flat to celebrate her birthday. We had a nice meal, a couple of drinks, and I got to meet her son for the first time.
Whilst there, I read my first ever Russian book. So what was it, I hear someone ask?
Perhaps a poem by Aleksandr Pushkin? Perhaps something penned by Leo Tolstoy?
Nope, it was Zimnaya Kolibyelnaya by Irina Gurina
Yep, a nursery school book, I read to Masha’s son.
Well what did you expect? I’m hoping to start my Russian lessons again soon, as my teacher has been away on a training course. Until I’ve progressed a little further, I’m very happy to have got as far as this book 🙂

I’m proud of you too! I myself have translated a whole book from English into Russian — Good Night, Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown. Noche noche muishka 🙂

Thank you for your kind comments.
For anyone who hasn’t gotten around to it yet, don’t forget to visit the Silk Road Caravan.
