.....babushka, babushka......

Some good news today......the Russians are coming!

After a gap of nearly three years because of health scares and a bomb in Moscow Sheremetyevo airport, our friends from Omsk, Siberia are coming to pay us a visit. Not sure of the personel yet, very doubtful if my friend Vladimir will make it, but not to worry, it will be a chance to make new friends....and it gives me something to do during the damp grey days of October....brush up on my Russian which has got a bit rusty.

Busy day at work shooting photographs to decorate the walls of the labs for our Open Day next Tuesday...........and now home alone....the Boss has started 3 night shifts and the Daughter has gone out on the razzle. Not sure if I should go for an early night....or stay up really late to ensure some sleep.

Tomorrow night will be different, I'll have Charlotte all to myself, The Son and Heir and Young Helen are out at a party, the Boss is on her 2nd night and the Daughter will be out again......I might not find the time to blip....or even draw breath...or she might be a little angel and I might have the most restful night ever.

Dyedushka and his vnushka......a night to ourselves....can't wait.

Das vidanya moy padruga..
