The moment of winter ~ #WednesdayWalk around Kyiv city

in Wednesday Walk7 days ago

Just a sunny frosty day. Just snow. How little it takes sometimes to make you want to live again.

Hello there!

It has been a while, I know. Also, I am aware it's not Wednesday yet (or already?) I don't often feel inspired to post these days, so I seize these rare sparks of life that I want to share.

My company closed for two weeks, and we all got time off. Unpaid, though. I must admit, it's great to know that today is Monday and I don't have to do anything at all 😁. So I spent half the day just enjoying the sun and fresh snow.

Today was a day just for me. A day for things I had been putting off for a long time. I was in no hurry, listening to music on my headphones and smiling at passers-by.

I went downtown to buy tools for a home manicure. Stopped by the store that sells my favorite candies.

I had lunch at a rib joint. I'd been wanting to try their food for a long time. Like, several years. Every time I walk past their restaurant, I see a crowd at the entrance. And I don't like crowds and queues. Today, I was sure that I would easily find a place at a table, but I didn't expect it to be that easy.👇

My waitress's name is Kira. She wore a black leather apron, and on her right side she carried a knife and a small axe for chopping ribs - it's part of the service.

She covered the table with a large sheet of paper on which she wrote her name and everything I had ordered - beer, ribs, and sauce. She also marked the place where my “plate” would be. In fact, it was a wooden tray.

They don't bring fork and knife for ribs, but there's a roll of paper towels on every table. They also bring each guest a paper bib. Handsome 😍

At 3 o'clock, they have to turn on the lights, so I'm going home. I walk past the house that was hit by a Russian drone two days ago. I was at home at the time. For a moment, the whole house shook, and all the car alarms went off. It's very close, less than 200 meters away.

When I walked past it, rescue operations were in full swing.

Rescuers cleared away debris and helped residents. Medical personnel and psychologists were also on site. The police organized detours.

I must say that our friendly countries provide us with a lot of equipment. But machines don't work without people. And I am confident that our rescuers, firefighters, and combat medics are the best in the world.💖💪

Today, you can see that everything has been cleaned up, and all the broken windows have been covered with plastic or boards. The flower shop on the first floor is open!👇

Winter days are very short. While I was writing, it got dark outside. Recently, I got this cute little duckling. It glows in the dark and changes color. Plus, it's made of soft silicone and feels really nice to the touch.

That's it!

Happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

Thank you for stopping by

It's great to hear from you again! There are new reports in the American media about a possible peace-deal happening so I'm hoping 2026 is the year you will all again live in peace. Take care of yourselves and here's hoping next year is better!

I'm sorry to disappoint you but... all American peace agreements = surrender of Ukraine. I am not happy about this because it would give Russia time and resources for the next attack on Ukraine and Europe.

It's all very unfortunate. I wish you a wonderful New Year @zirochka!

Yes, we were really unlucky with our neighbor. Still hope for the victory.
Thank you for all your support, and Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Russia did not attack Europe. That's just cheap propaganda coming from your puppet president who's killing hundreds of thousands of young men for nothing.

Just Russians are killing Ukrainians, but if we let them to be rewarded for that they will go for weaker victim, and those are Baltic countries. We would like to protect them as well by a just peace deal.

You don't protect anything. You are just repeating what you have been told. Think for yourself and you will see the bigger picture.

Seems like you are repeating what you have been told. I live in Ukraine and don't need to be told about the war.

So good to hear from you. That must be very scary. I am glad you had a nice day in the snow eating ribs and candies! Sounds great to me. I got to see a little snow on my trip to Oregon. I need to post again too.

I don't remember when we had so much snow on New Year's. So beautiful! And up to -13C tonight 🙂

So proud of you.

Just keep on getting back up and out there and keeping on.

You're an inspiration and fuck do we need more of that right now <3

Haha! Love the bib they give you for the meal 😂

I know it's difficult to relax nowadays, but make sure to take care of yourself. Close the window, light some candles, put on some nice music and pamper yourself with your lovely manicure set ❤️

Fortunately, massive shelling doesn't happen every night, so I've been able to sleep at night for the last few days. Besides, I've noticed that my mood is much better when I'm not working. Maybe I'm just not cut out for the job 🙂🙂🙂

I hope that peace can come soon. People have suffered for too long.

At least you can still get some good food.

That's true

great to see you back, I had been told that you had a very near miss, horrifying to say the least.
That restaurant looks really cool place to visit, can feel the vibes from here!!

I am so happy to hear from you again, and to know that you are safe. 😊 Getting a chance to try that restaurant AND finding your favorite candies were such good things. Happy moments, even if small, can help keep one's sanity together. And funny bibs at restaurants can help, too! 😁 Thank you for checking-in with us, dear one! I wish you and your family the ✨ Brightest Blessings ✨ for the coming year!

Thank you so much dear @thekittygirl for all your king words and wishes. May the next year be better than 2025th. Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family! It is good you are taking some very much needed time for yourself and that rib place looks so fun. I loved the funny touch with the drawing on the table cloth and napkin!

I wish for a peaceful year a head of us all around the world! And for a good health to you, your family, and everybody!

Thank you so much, dear! Sending you my !LUV

I'm glad to see you posting. You have no idea how many times I'm thinking of you.

It's nice to have time off, times for yourself and to treat yourself as well.

The place looks very inviting and the food ... that should be illegal as I'm on a diet 🤣🤣🤣

Take care my friend and be safe ❤️ 🤗

Oh my dear, can't thank you enough for your care ❤️
