After the winter
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 at 3:15 pm by Viktor IvanovichI looked at the last post I made in March and decided: we survived. Lyudmila's cough is better since we are back in the flat, the neighbours downstairs have a new baby, and the cat came back from the dacha thinner but alive. A man should be grateful for the simple things.
The first of May there was no demonstration, only the music from the loudspeakers in the park and the children with balloons. I took my beret and went for a walk to the refinery fence. I counted the chimneys. All five working.
