Morning Yara...I wish it was a warmer one for you! Do any of your favourite bookshops have heating at the moment? That might make getting a new book and a good warcoffee even more necessary.
Every day is another day closer to spring...and, let's hope, the downfall of d*mned russia. 💛💙🤗🤗🤗

Thank you Jim - hope yours is too! 😁

I am delighted to hear that you are feeling a bit better today, Yara. I hope you continue to take it as easy as you can to allow complete recovery and that you have some way of keeping warm. These outages are extremely cruel and probably dangerous for anyone vulnerable. I hope repairs are soon done.

Thank you for sharing such personal and moving words, Yara. Your writing brings us right into the reality of life in Kyiv. You are indeed strong in the things that you do and I think that you inspire us to be a little bit stronger too. (And to be deeply grateful for all the things of 'normal' life.)

Lovely to see Kyiv bright in the sunshine...but that's really cold! I hope that you can keep warm and feel well again. My feelings about the threatened attack cannot be said here...too 🤬🤬🤬, but you can guess. I hope that kharma comes for russia! May tonight actually be calm and safe. 🤗🤗💛💙

I'm not surprised Clare...do take it easy today and allow yourself plenty of time to recover. 🤗😘

Oh Clare, that sounds painful! I hope the bump is going down but take care and watch that there are no signs of problems from hitting your head. I hope you're feeling better today...sending big hugs. 🤗🤗🤗

That's a really good question Yara. 'Not soon enough' is the only answer I can give. It must be hard to cope with being so cold, especially for vulnerable people like the elderly. How brutal the russians are! I hope you get power back soon, so that you can at least have hot drinks to warm you.🤗💛💙
