I used to live in Siberia for 11 years - from 4 to 17, and then it was cold weather more then 8 months per year in cities I lived next 15 years. But the true is I hardly endure cold weather all of my life! Not only psychologically. All cells of my body rebell againt it! Especially dark and cold wind - it kills me and makes body depression every year. Yes, this is a kind of pleasure to wear warm socks in the everning… from time to time, or for special mood. But it is disgasting for me to be forced to use it. My body feel it as a kind of compulsion to the nature. I hate layers of heavy clothes covers my body as leaves of a cabbage. I always desire to drop it and physically hate to dress in pull-over at home. Even such dresses is beautiful, comfortable and stylish I force myself to suffer it and carefully protect my soul from annoyance and irritation, as protect from illnesses.

This year it`s strange weather in Moscow. I easily lived out the Great Smoke and The Great Heat (+41 degree) in August. It was expected to have a warm long automn, but today is +10 only. My body is shocked by it, I feel myself fell inside the body, shriveled, wanted to sleep all dark time. The warm is over, good bye!
All cells of my body are thirsting for sun, green grass I could lie and starring to heaven, and of couse I desire a sea. May be not for swimming, but even to see it every day would be great… My friends - habitants of the warm islands - said this is too much cold in winter for swimming. But it is not a long time, may be 1-2 months of a bit more cold winds and dark sky…  it`s not a problem if you compare it with 9 months. 
9 months!!! Such perspective of dark and cold made me crazy. I have to think about something else otherwise…
The only thing helps is my plans for creation, my paintings, graphics and books. As it will be cold outside I will stay at home and deducate all of my time to work. And I can nvite my friends to share with them a happy moments of creativity and a cup of chinese Oolong tea.

Really looking forward to read more. Really Cool
