Usually we wake up early. Valentina like to stay in the bed a little bit longer. But our son & I prefer to have a morning activity. If it is a good weather I like to bike in Izmailovsky Park from 6 to 8 A.M. It is a nice time (very few people, fresh air, bird's song).
We have a breakfast from 8 to 8:30 A.M. It is deadline time for Aleksei
to go to office.
Valentina & I have a flexible time schedule. It is a very important
value of Academy life.
Valentina cocks breakfast and something for dinner very fast. She likes
to drink a cup of coffee in the morning. I drink only a tea & water.
Our office time is from 11 A.M. to 6 P.M. usually. Moscow is a
huge city. It takes for us more then two hours round trip from apartment
to institute & a lot of forces. Moscow's subway is a very convenient.
At the same time there are lot of people, very nosy and a few air there.
We return at home between 7 or 7:30. We have a dinner before 8 P.M.
I go to sleep 10:30 P.M. regularly.
What do we eat usually? On the breakfast we have a juice, fresh fruits
(first of all apple), vegetables (tomatoes or cucumbers), or Russian salad
(venigret), eggs (boil, fried or scramble), cheese, cottage cheese and
sour cream and more seldom porridge. On the dinner we have a soup or Russian-Ukraine
borsch every day. Such a pity, we are not vegetarian. Nonetheless we try
to eat few meat, especially beef. We prefer chicken, pork and fish. Just
now Valentina uses chinese style for meat cocking. Of course we have something
special for special time: Holiday capital (stolichny) salad, Christmas
chicken, Easter cake (paskha) etc. Children like all of these very much.
Some times we can drink little bit. But we do not drink a vodka. For example
I prefer brandy (cognac) & red vine. We like different types of cocktail:
Blade Mary, Ginantonic, Margarita etc. It is a really interesting, we,
our children, and all of our friends are not smoke.
