Hi, Barrie, I'm fine but I can't say the same about the passport. I was told I must fill all the forms on the Internet and pay through the mobile phone. I can't do that. Last time my son helped me to pay for a driving test. So I will wait till he comes again. Nothing to do.
So what's the weather like today? Is a storm coming?
Keeping Mum is a very nice comedy with Atkinson. Not a stupid one, but brilliant. Every word of it even the main characters' names are meaningful. Let's watch it together! Maybe you will like it.
Oh, how did you know about candles in the bathroom? I didn't write about them but had in my mind.
Don't think you dream too much.
As about a refuge for my family... They don't need it. You know they are patriots; they love Russia and will never leave their country. They do believe there is no place like home. And my son thinks so too. None of them want me to leave my motherland. They don't believe I can be happy in other country. Even my father. He is afraid I can go away. He loves me too much.
VOCABULARY
main- главный
сharacters- герои
meaningful - значимый
refuge- убежище
So you shouldn't be afraid your home will become a refuge for an extended family. I don't need a refuge myself too. Now I have everything I need. I have a job and can earn my living. I don't know if I will be able to have all of it if I leave Russia. But I promise I will do my best you never regret letting me to be with you. Hope you understand me right. As about Zosya..lol She is British but was born in Russia and she is a patriot too. She will stay here. lol
And I don't think you are harsh. You are honest as always. I like it. Not so many men can be like you I think. And I respect you for this.

motherland- родина
earn my living - зарабатывать на жизнь
do my best - делать всё, что в моих силах
regret- сожалеть
harsh - жесткий, грубый, строгий
Barrie, a strange thing has happened again. How, just tell me- how can you do this? How it is possible I wonder? It's something mysterious. You are a Gypsy for sure. Can you imagine we were thinking about the same thing. I thought I had been wrong in my youth it was so nice to be a sailor's wife. I thought about meetings but not about partings. But I know I can wait. Later I will be able to explain why I think so.

You can be sure I will always try to understand you. Maybe you will have some troubles with my spoken English. Sometimes I don't know the meaning of some words. I'm afraid at first you will have to speak simple English to me. Sorry for this. Now I have a possibility to translate unknown words with my computer.
Ok, that's all for now. Have a nice day, dear. Kiss. And another one. Olya
