Visit St.Petersburg

The last night was a special one! Two funny things happened! The 1st thing  – I blended up a new word – “whights”. The same like “smog” in London, which is “smoke” plus “fog”, we will have our "whights" in Saint-Petersburg. Mine one means “white nights” which makes “whights”. We have “white nights” in Saint-Petersburg, Russia in May and June every year (except if it is rainy and cloudy nights). It means that the sky is not getting dark in the night and comparatively dark time is very short (between midnight and 2 in the morning), even this darkness looks rather like a twilight than a night. So, tonight I just wanted to say “white nights” and accidently said – “whights”. I had also an idea about “whites”, but “whights” looks better), “whites” is an existing word with its own meanings, not all of them nice, then, no singular use for “whites”, so it is “whights”.

What is the best city in Russia? I know the only correct answer!

It is not too old - just 317 years old. But he is already grey haired, grey skyed – just 10 per cent of the days in the year are blue and bright, the others are grey and cloudy and even rainy, like in old rainy London which is almost 2,000 years old.

It is called Saint but it was founded by the tsar Peter the 1st who was not Saint at all – just remember the story how Peter tortured to death his own son from the 1st wife.

Inscription in the picture "Thorough hand washing is your protection. 30 seconds. Stop COVID-19" Saint-Petersburg, Russia, May of 2020

To protect ourselves from COVID-19 we have to stay at home. Sometimes we don't move enough, sometimes the flats are too small for exercises.  Let's enjoy one hundred fifty years old exercises which princes used to do. To do the exercises you can use either a chair or a horse if you have one or something else or your imagination. The excercises are good both for your body and for your brain, it is a part of history!When you are at home and COVID-2019 is hunting around searching for new victims,  let's do the excercises which princes used to do!
