.......From Russia with love.............

Christmas presents for Charlotte and Hannah.

I asked Larisa to get me two little Matryoshka dolls for the girls........typically she has arrived with two dolls about 8 inches high!

The girls will love them..........Charlotte plays with mine all the time...Hannah will be entranced by the colours....

Charlie is going to meet the Russians for the first time tomorrow evening........she's been practicing to say Hello (Privet), Thankyou (Spasiba) and Goodbye (Das vidanya)....she will be spoiled rotten!

Dad has had a brain scan today.......the results aren't back yet..........the Boss called in on him on her way back home.........still not eating or drinking........very listless.....I'm not sure the meeting about his care will go ahead next week...........but I'm on standby for a dash North if needs be..........now if only I could get some sleep.

Das vidanya moy padruga.
