I'm sure many of you have read the online headlines at some point or other during the day. Usually, I try to avoid them, but whenever I see anything about Anne Frank or her family or the others who lived in the hiding place, I try to read them. And so I did today. And I am so sad...and slightly... Sign in to see full entry.

It's just another manic Monday...I wish it were Sunday... Groan! I wish it was still Sunday. Hey, at least I'm alive and able to sit here and write. Every breath we draw is a blessing. Thank you Darson for that precious reminder. Mum is supposed to come round sometime today to take something to the... Sign in to see full entry.

“I do not mean to intrude on your time with Babi little one, but Vyktor is awake. He asks for you.” “How is he Yakov?” Babi’s tone is still serious. “He seems all right. Just worried about the little one. I asked him if his pain is bad and he said no. I don’t think he would lie to us, do you Olga?”... Sign in to see full entry.

And so my dear friends, I return to the land of blogit filled with joy and elated. I have just completed another VERY successful shopping spree! And to you I shout, SHOPAHOLICS OF THE WORLD REJOICE!!!! They were having a fabulous sale and were offering an extra twenty percent off their clearance... Sign in to see full entry.

Wouldn't you just know it? My favourite online clothing shop is having yet ANOTHER fabulous sale! We get paid next Wednesday, so I'm seriously having a good hunt round to see what I can find us for Fall. Anyway, Mum is going to send back the pants that didn't fit us tomorrow(I just have to ring her... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello everyone... Today is a gray Sunday indeed. There are puffed clouds floating overhead and I'm sure it will start raining any moment now. The perfect day to write! I do believe that Vyktor is calling to me. I can almost feel him standing behind me now as I write this. Thank you all so very much... Sign in to see full entry.

Olga and I prop Vyktor up to ease the pain in his side and help him breathe a bit more comfortably and then he closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep. Babi whispers to me, and I nod. “How is he?” Yakov whispers anxiously. He is kind enough to lower his voice so as not to wake Vyktor. “The broken... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I've had my shower so now Margaret and I are going to have some lunch before she goes off to have a shower herself. After that, Vyktor and I will return! Sign in to see full entry.

Hello my friends... We slept until nearly 11:00 this morning, which explains my delay in writing for you all. I am here and well and very much alive, so I will be back with Vyktor! For now, I'm off for a shower. Have a wonderful day until I return. Sign in to see full entry.

Well, we made it home from our shopping trip unscathed! Actually, it was quite fun. I didn't buy everything I wanted to buy, but that's okay. It's fine. At least we got out! I bought three long-sleeved t-shirts for bedtime in the fall and winter, one new sweat suit and a skein of dark plum yarn for... Sign in to see full entry.

She is terrified now. I can see her hands trembling and the tears falling from her eyes like shattered glass from a window. She looks from one of us to the other and back again. “Who has done this to you, child?” In this moment, I know it is Alex and not Vyktor who is within her vision. “The... Sign in to see full entry.

Hooray! I'm just about to start writing the one hundredth page of our story! Pretty good, since I think this is the longest piece of work I've ever written without accidentally deleting or trashing it! Sign in to see full entry.

Just thought I should stop by and see how you all are doing tonight? Sign in to see full entry.

My poor friend Volodya! Last night while I was running round online, I happened to read that the Russian government has decided to change it's laws regarding the sale of alcohol-more specifically to the point-vodka, so that it may only be sold in shops during a certain few hours of the day....

To our great relief, Yakov’s mood has lifted since this morning. He chats with Vyktor and even jokes with him while Babi and I finish preparing the last of our evening meal. While we work, I tell her that I am worried about Vyktor’s health. “His side is still hurting him. More than he’s telling me,... Sign in to see full entry.

I wish I knew what set me off this time, but I don't. I woke up feeling sad this morning and I still do a bit. I don't really have any reason to be, but I am. I hate days like this. I didn't feel like writing before now which will explain my not being here. Margaet and I had planned to go to... Sign in to see full entry.

“Little one…” He is holding me so that my face is pressed hard into his shoulder. I am shaking violently and the sobs keep coming. He says nothing, only holds me against him. After a long while, I am unable to cry anymore. I have grown too tired to speak to him. “Where is the old man now little one?... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I've been banging away on the keyboard working on Vyktor. Soon though, I will have to go and satisfy a very favourite craving of mine! Ala-peanut butter sandwiches!!!!

Mum just left after having coffee and biscuits with us. Now, Roommie is in the kitchen cooking bacon. I've already had two pieces...but I'm HUNGRY! She's almost cooking it so we'll have bacon, eggs and toast for lunch. My favourite! YUMMY!! After lunch, I will get on with Vyktor. Did I mention that... Sign in to see full entry.

I've just had a call from a bill collector. Margaret took the call actually, and when the lady refused to give her her name or even say where she was calling from, Margaret told her sorry, but I can't help you. The woman then demanded to know when I'd be back or when would be a better time to reach... Sign in to see full entry.
