My mother left Cyprus today, went back to Moscow. I feel sad. She is probably terrified. And that makes me feel even more sad. Heh. Tomorrow is another day…
Category: Cyprus
I live in Cyprus for many years now. It is a beautiful little island in Mediterranean Sea. It features warm weather for most of the year, sea, very kind and hospital people, plenty of jobs in IT industry, good food and plenty of alcohol, stable currency, and more. It’s really a nice place to live if you can handle small towns and villages. It’s also a great place to raise the kids.
Not much happens here. It is a quiet and simple place. Yet, when something happens or when I write about it, I post it to Cyprus category.
Limassol Beer Festival next week
Limassol Beer Festival is going to be held in Limassol again (third time if I am not mistaken) next weekend (July 29-31, 2005). Posters are hanging all over the city. I don’t know for sure, but I doubt that the program will be any different from the previoius years – lots of expensive beer and pop music. It’s not one of those events that I would choose to attend, but in case you enjoy these sort of things, here is your chance.
Maxim in the water
Thanks to his grandmother, Maxim was going to the beach every single day during the last two weeks. Today I went together with them to see how the whole thing is happening. The idea was to inherit the experience, so that I could do this with Maxim on my own.
If I knew how cold the water is, I’d be against these sea bathing from the very beginning, but I seem to have missed the best time and now the kid has pretty much got used to it. I went into the water and it felt like a slow execution. I don’t know how come that this water measures +26 degrees because it’s freezing. And I was not alone who thought this way as only a selected few people from a rather crowded beach felt like sweeming.

Deep Purple in Cyprus : Pictures
Finally I got my act together and processed all the pictures. Out of 250 frames I selected 125. Mostly those are of Ian Gillan with a microphone. Steve Morse with his guitar and Don Airey up at his keyboards are the next most covered. Basist Roger Glover and drummer Ian Paice were on the other side of the stage, so their pictures aren’t as spectacular as of others, but I’ve go them covered anyway.
I’d like to thank Slava who started the whole argument with the security stuff and found out that it was OK to bring in the photo camera and that only video cameras were banned. If it wasn’t for him, I would leave my camera in the car and none of this pictures would have seen the light of the Web.
Without further a do…

Deep Purple : The Concert
This is just a quick note to let all of you know that Deep Purple really rocked today! The concert was superb and I think everyone loved it there. Many thanks to all involved. It was worth every penny and more.
I made around 250 pictures today so it will take me some time to sort them out and select the good ones. I did a quick overview and it seem there were a lot of nice shots. I will post all the pictures most probably by the end of the tomorrow. Stay tuned.
On the personal losses: my voice is gone. Again. I hope it will return in a couple of days. And all my muscles hurt. That’s from too much jumping. Especially with Slava’s 12 year old son on my shoulders. :)
Awesome. The whole thing was awesome!
