Good evening, Barrie. It was nice to have your letter in the morning. Thanks. How are you?
You know it is warmer today, about +7 and foggy. The snow is melting. Oh, I can hear it's raining now! So we were just in time with our walking yesterday.
As about the book you are reading. You are right. Russian people suffered a lot during the war. Every family suffered. Мy grandfather didn't return from the war. The most horrible battle happened in Stalingrad. Now the city is called Volgograd. There is a huge memorial with the eternal flame on the bank of the Volga River. I have been there only once. The memorial is very sad as it shows the true events of the war. So if someday you decide to visit the city just ask me and I will be able to be your own guide, interpreter and bodyguard.
VOCABULARY
melt - таять
in time - успеть
suffer- страдать
eternal flame - вечный огонь
event - событие
guide - гид
interpreter - переводчик

And yes, that's right we are lucky to know peace. I think I will go to the cathedral I wrote about as soon as the weather is better.
I had a short walk with my close friend. Her name is Lena and she is a doctor. Her speciality is psychiatry and she makes her diagnosis very quickly. lol But in every difficult situation she is always near me and ready to help. And I do the same for her.
We met by chance. I taught her son. So we've known each other for 9 years. She doesn't approve my search for a man. She says it's waste of time. She doesn't believe a dating site can help to meet a normal man. And every my mention about it causes her displeasure. So I prefer not to tell her.
Ok, Barrie, that's all for now, Tomorrow I'll work but certainly find time to write. My best wishes to you, dear. Good night. Olya xxxx
