Happy International Women's Day!

Best holiday wishes to my readers of the female persuasion out there. In Russia this is a big holiday, and many women in the city were carrying flowers. It was a public holiday, which meant many had the day off. This holiday also marks the anniversary of the 1917 Russian Women's strike for "Bread and Peace." This strike set in motion the Revolution which set up the Soviet Union.

To celebrate this holiday, I gave Navina some tulips and a potted Hyacinth. She likes Lilacs, and it kind of looked and smelled like one. I also went ice skating with her and our friend Alex tonight. It was fun but tiring. My rear end is ubёr sore after two bad falls.
