The last day of the year
Monday, December 31st, 2007 at 4:20 pm by Viktor IvanovichA quiet New Year's eve. The shops in our street have been half empty since the summer, but Lyudmila found a chicken and a jar of the green peas, and the tangerines came from somebody's cousin. We have light now, with only two cuts this week, one hour each. I counted. It is a habit of a shift engineer: everything is written in the log.
This year was not an easy one for anybody in the country, and I will not write about it. It is in the log and the log stays in the drawer. I only say thank you to the neighbours who shared the coal in the autumn and to the doctor who came to the house at night in October.
Happy New Year, whoever reads. Health first. The rest we will arrange.
Viktor Ivanovich, Happy New Year to you and Lyudmila Petrovna! Keep the log. Somebody will read it.
Happy New Year from Talas, Viktor Ivanovich. Your blog is on my favourites.
