#basya's rambles

The snow has melted, which means "Hello, dear garden"

My hands are scratched, and my back hurts terribly...

[sphynx-lover]

A neighbor's chicken just flew into my garden and started eating my flowers, so I had to run around the yard to get it back

A couple of days ago, I stayed out fishing until nightfall, and it reminded me of a story from my childhood

One day, my family and I spent the night in the woods by a lake

My godfather and I made a bet that I could row a boat across the lake at night and check the nets

Of course, I agreed

Everything was going well, I got on the boat and safely reached the shore, while the bitterns were calling in the thickets (has anyone heard a bittern singing? Quite creepy, especially at night)

I took out the net and oh my sphynx...

There was something slimy, black, with many whiskers and each whisker was moving in a separate direction

What would you do in my place?

Personally, I was so scared that I threw the creature into the water and fell to the bottom of the boat

It was just a catfish... A STUPID AMERICAN CATFISH

My godfather laughed at me for a long time

The draft of the second part is ready

It remains only to correct a little and translate

And this time, I feel like I've gone too far, and it's going to be almost twice as much as the first chapter...

[sphynx-lover]

The draft of the third chapter is ready :P

The fourth will most likely be the last

[sphynx-lover]

I'M FINALLY FREE

The exam is over

Remember how I said it was hard to put the blades together and attach the plow? It was a piece of cake

I even put together and adjusted the alternator drive belt myself (trial and error XD)

And in the end, I somehow managed to get the highest score

I'm such a mechanic lol

FMEOOOOOOOWCK, I MISSED SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FISH

I couldn't pull it out and it snapped at the last moment

It makes my heart bleed, it would be my biggest fish 😭

I'm definitely not cut out for cities...

In the city, everything is different

The streets are filled with various scents: food, perfume, car exhaust, and more more others

These scents blend together and make me feel dizzy

Everyone is in a hurry, chatting about something, and there are so many cars on the roads

I also dislike public transport and the taste of water in cities

After every visit to the city, I feel exhausted, like a squeezed lemon...

But I LOVE cities

There's so much to do, so many beautiful places to go, all the shops are right there

The village I live in is so small and I've been EVERYWHERE: I've walked through all the fields and steppes in the area, I've explored all the abandoned buildings, all the canyons and swamps

I'VE EVEN CYCLED TO NEIGHBORING VILLAGE (30+ km)

But what I appreciate about the villages is the nature

There are a lot of animals and plants, in the evenings, the cool breeze brings the smell of the river, and at night, you can even see the Milky Way

So, yeah, I feel more at ease in the countryside
