Greetings from Kyiv,
where I’m having a warcoffee
and writing a Pre-Christmas letter to my supporters –
those who support my work on Patreon.
It’s cold here. Still no snow,
and electricity remains limited.

Greetings from Kyiv,
a city of fantastic bookstores.
Right now, this paradise runs on a generator.
The electricity situation is difficult these days,

Explosions in Kyiv.
We’re under attack.
What else to say?
I charged everything,
edited photos – just in case I don’t get another chance (sorry, dark humour)

Greetings from Kyiv.
Just a quick note for those who care.
We’re fine.
The view from the window is still the same, luckily.
A loud night of drones and missiles is over.
Sadly, there are casualties and damage in the city.

Letters from a pair of World War I soldiers have been found in a bottle on a beach in Western Australia.
A local family came across the bottle as they were cleaning up the beach earlier this month. One of the soldiers' granddaughters called the discovery a miracle.

Warcoffee in a new bookstore
I discovered recently in Kyiv.
I’ll show it to you later –
it has every chance to become my new favourite place.
Perfect for writing.
