WEB TEASE
I’ve been working on my personal site for the past month or so. I’m proud of myself, a big pat on the back(modesty aside). Take a look and tell me what you think, what I should improve or change. I’m happy to receive any feedback, provided it’s constructive of course.

COLD WAR – BUT STILL HERE…
So I know I’ve been off the net waves for a while, I’m sorry about that. Sometimes a girl needs a break. I was gathering my strength and sorting out a few things acquired during the winter. You know mess!!!

MY WEEK AS AN ANCHORWOMAN
There’s really not much i can say on this post besides the fact that, I can’t wait to get back on the news desk again. Although my week trial was nothing like “The Legend of Ron Burgundy, or simply Anchorman”,

BLAST FROM THE PAST
While at the Shukhov Tower freezing in the wet cold, the guardsman invited us inside his “office” and he kept an eagle eye on us, we couldn’t move without him following. But while he looked away i was able to

MOSCOW XMAS DINNER
This year my family and close friends were km away from me, however as the saying goes, birds of a feather fly together. So we, the new and old Muscovites, came together for the last big supper of the year and our wonderful hosts Lindsey and Kate my colleagues, were kind enough to invite myself and Kate (RT new recruits) for Xmas dinner. It made a huge difference and although we missed home we were not alone in the city. It did become a rather MERRY XMAS with great hosts and company.

MIGHT AS WELL BE A FISH MARKET…
Ever been to a fish market (without the smell) or a fruit and veg market? Imagine the traders trying to grab your attention, the buzz in the air, a smorgasbord of noise, making you dizzy and at times tantalizing, the images of fresh produce and the notion to get some for yourself. My flat was the produce and the the three traders: my agent, the Ukrainian landlady and the Russian friend.

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify
