Day 274, November 23, Two phones

Day 274, Two phones, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

I decided to change my mobile right before my birthday, so when my dear wife asked me what I want for my birthday, I have told her that I want a new mobile phone. She asked about a model and my imagination let me down, I told her that I want the same phone she has. So, it could look stupid, but now we have similar phones, but different colors :-)

These things actually means morning for me. Mornings start with that. I fiddle with all these things and with my daughters hair, getting them ready for a school and kindergarten.

Day 262, Passports collection, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

For visa application form we with my wife Veronica needed to mention countries we were visited for the past 10 years, so we took all our passports to check countries and dates. Indian visa office was surprisingly convenient. In the center of Moscow, in a business offices building. Efficient, convenient and not crowded. Very positive impression!

Для того что бы заполнить анкету для индийской визы, нам нужно было упомянуть все страны, в которых мы побывали за последние 10 дней. Поэтому мы с Вероникой нашли все наши паспорта, что бы освежить свою память. Индийский виза центр положительно поразил нас. В центре города, в бизнес центре. Удобно, комфортно и быстро, очень предупредительный и вежливый персонал. Все мероприятие заняло от силы 15 минут. на следующей неделе поедем за готовыми визами.

Day 109, May 24, a gift

Day 109, a gift, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

This painting was made and given as a gift in 1954. We do not know that woman whose name is written on it, probably grand-mother would now if we could ask her. Nothing special about that landscape painting but it's precious to our family. It was hanging on the wall of my wife's great-grandmother, then I have seen it in grandmother apartment. And now it's in our bedroom. I also like that old cheap frame, bitten by time.

В этом пейзаже нет ничего особенного, кроме того, что картина нарисована автором и подарена какой то женщине, имя которой можно прочитать внизу. Наверное прабабушка могла бы ракрыть тайну, что это за женщина и как эта картина попала к ней. Мы знаем только, что она вроде была ее подругой. Потом я видел эту картину на стене у бабушки. А теперь она с нами, кочует из квартиры в квартиру. Мне еще нравится эта старая облупленная рама, потертая временем. Видимо в этой раме художник и подарил ее в 1954 году.

That piece of art was bought from the hands of a craftsman while we were travelling in National Park "Russian North" in Vologda region. It's a very realistic work, she just made from clay what she saw from her window where she lives and then beautifully painted it.

Это произведение искусства куплено из рук мастера, во время нашего путешествия по Национальному Парку "Русский Север" в Вологодской области. Очень реалистичная работа! Создатель этого шедевра слепила из глины то, что она видела в свое окно, в доме где она живет, и затем раскрасила это глиняное окошко.

Favourite toy of my daughter, and that Gothic Bratz doll plays electric piano as my daughter does, so there are both musicians! :-)

Готичная кукла Братс - музыкант, подаренная старшей дочери на Новый Год. Они в чем то похожи, и кукла и дочь - обе играют на электронном пианино :-)
