Sand animation. The Snow Queen and Christmas by Oksana Merhut. She is a Ukrainian artist who made a tour of UK as she is raising funds for her husband’s military unit. It was so unusual and lovely, my husband and I had a great time watching her. The show was in Ukrainian and aimed at […]

Meet Bernoulli

Bernoulli made her [I assume is a she] entrance in our lives [conservatory] last week. If you remember, back in 2018, we had another guest, Schrödinger. You can read about her in that post, in which I mentioned in passing Einstein, the neighbours’ cat who was not particularly bright, but so cute. Now we have […]

Our Christmas tree had a transformation this year. I shared on the left a picture from last year, with the white & purple baubles. On the right is the Christmas tree from this year. The purple baubles will be donated to a charity and the white ones are joined by different sizes, colours, and shapes […]

Domivka is an animal charity in Lviv. I shared pictures from when I volunteered with them for cat sitting. In November we went back and had a proper look at the whole shelter. This is one of two they have. All the animals in the shelter are rescued from abuse cases or from where battles […]

It started with some events in Liverpool, CATstravaganza Liverpool & River of Lights, elections in US (I made a short political commentary, using a few bullet points to force me to be brief), a fantastic Ukrainian event with traditional music, I’ve had my graduation ceremony at Oxford for my Masters’, […]

Unseen Force

Unseen Force was a special exhibition, which ended a couple of days ago. I wanted to share some highlights from it, even if my readers are not going to see it. Also, it was in Ukraine, so even if it was still on, it would still have been impossible to see it. Unseen Forces was […]

Graduating at Oxford

November 22, 2024 4 Comments

I had my graduation ceremony earlier this month. I will share pictures from the day and a description. It was my decision not to share pictures with my face, but I hope you like the pictures nonetheless. The gorgeous gown is the Master’s Gown, which has embroidery on it, unlike the commoner’s gown which I […]

Birthday in Ukraine

I’ve celebrated my birthday in Ukraine this year. The plan was to go to London, but when my husband asked me what I really want to do, my reply was that I would like to go to Lviv, so we went there instead. We’ve spent 5 days in Lviv in which we did, in total, […]

CATstravangaza Liverpool

November 17, 2024 5 Comments

CATstravangaza Liverpool was an event earlier this month. It is a small event, but it is so worth going to one. There are a lot of breeders happy to talk about their cats and there are presentations of different breeds, all sort of things on sale for both cat-owners and cat-lovers. This is a new […]
