Back to Nadinka and Tickles 8.9.13

I believe me and Valentina are now back on after me potentially gravely insulting her integrity, never a good thing to do with someone new. I got dressed this morning and when I came out my room she touched the diamondy thingys on my top and commented how pretty they were and stroked my hair. Then I got a cute (kinda odd) tummy tickle, a number of compliments and I’m back to Nadinka. I say kinda odd, but I do love a cheeky tickle in the morning. Appreciated for deffs.


Donkey rides at the park anyone?

I’ve also noticed that her tv watching habits are slightly odd. She seems to know the words to pretty much everything, and at first I thought oh it’s cool, just her fave episode. Turns out every episode is her fave. Plus she has to comment on everything. There was this singing show and 2 Russki dudes were singing about their own бабушкаs and she then decided to ask me about mine. I told her that I have 2 grandmas and she asked if they were from Africa or England. As tempting as it was to say Africa, I settled for the truth. There’s not much you can really say when someone asks you that so conversation over. She also has a comment to make about everything. 2 people kissed at the end of the movie and that seemed to disgust her, but when they ran away with their children it warranted a молодец.

Me and Clara by the lake

A few of us had our first outing to the cinema to see гадкий я 2 (Despicable Me 2). We were thinking it’s a kids’ film so it shouldn’t be so hard to understand, and it was pretty adorbs. Tickets were only 130р which is about £2.60 but popcorn and snacks are basically as expensive as in England. We went to the москва кафе afterwards for lunch and it’s pretty pricey compared to the other places we’ve been to; as in a dish is £3-4, but we somehow managed to go during happy hour when everything was 30% off. Woooo.
We just watched the greatly anticipated premier of this season’s Russki version of Dancing On Ice. There’s been adverts for it all week and the only way to get Valentina to change to the correct channel at 6 was to ask her if the channel that was on was первыц канал again and again until she changed it so the answer would be yes. The concept is basically the same; celebs learning to skate with professionals. The woman are beasts; one of them was so frustrated that the celeb man couldn’t lift her up that she lifted him up to show him how it’s done. So much emasculation. The costumes are a lot less glitzy and a lot less revealing; not sure I’ve caught even 1 sight of some woman’s underwear yet, even on the upside down lifts. Gotta have respect for the Russki morals. They’re definitely concentrating on selling the Sochi winter olympics merch though. Every single person has something on from the range in different colours and different styles. I’m very tempted to see if you can buy the merchandise already online after an hour of it.

Here is my copy of Алиса В Стране Чудес. It’s my absolute favourite book in the world and this one was only 100р (£2). The only thing is that there’s no pictures so I may go buy a pretty one later on this year. I asked the sales assistant if she had it and she bought me 9 copies, so there’s certainly no lack of choice. And it’s brill because online you’d be paying a considerable amount more for any English books in a foreign language.
