Thank you Ivan for joining us yesterday for the Secret Santa ๐ฅฐ it was such a pleasure to do it with you, to receive such a brilliant present and then go out for a meal all three of us ๐ค
On the not-such-a-fun note, you guys disappointed me big time!! I mean why vote that you will come and then never show up??? I only organized this event because there were 6 votes for "yes", and then only one person shows up?
I'm not even asking you to definitely be there no matter what, but have a little respect and if you vote yes, then make sure to either come or cancel (retract your vote!) in advance ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ I cancelled my other plans just to organize this fun event for you...
It's not a nice way to end a year, I can't know anything about the future of the ESC NN, but I still hope you all have a great holiday celebration and a magical 2026โจ
Try to be nice and respectful to people this year, even if they're online ๐ซฐ๐ผ

Happy 2026 everyone!! Better late than never ๐ฅฐ
How have you been?!
I was sick last week, thus been quiet here... Have been feeling better this week, but still not my strongest, otherwise I was planning to announce the first ESC NN of the year for this Sunday. Unfortunately, it's not happening... But..
What do you think about trying to meet up during the week? One of the evenings? Would that work for you?

P.S. you aren't very talkative this year so I can't guess what you think about trying to meet during the week, unfortunately :(

Do you like making plans or do you find them too constricting?!?
I'm curious to know this about you andcoincidentally that's exactly what we're talking about this Sunday!!!
Do join me!
P.S. there's a new rule:if I get at least 3 payments by Saturday morning, then the event is going to happen! Otherwise I'll have to cancel it (each time). Let's respect each other and make it an enjoyable process from A to Z ๐ฅฐ
P.P.S. (UPDATE) - this Sunday ESC NN is definitely happening, so see you all in a few days ๐ซฐ๐ผ๐ซฐ๐ผ๐ซฐ๐ผ

Thanks everyone for joining me yesterday!! What a blast it was!!! Most of you actually managed to be there in spite of the cold and giant piles of snow all over the place ๐ฅ You guys are heroes!!!
We talked about planning (and not only ;) and did a mind boggling creative task - planned the unplanned day ;) thinking outside the box is one of my favorite things ๐
We also had a guest from Canada, Duane, who brought in some of his wisdom and inspiration from across the pond
โจ Btw, Duane will be staying in Nizhny for some time and I thought it's a great idea to make a list of places (experiences, museums, cafรฉs, shops, any other spots) in Nizhny and region to visit while he's here (I'm sure your recommendations will be useful for everyone tbh ;))
So why don't we share some ideas in the comments, shall we?!?

Last time we talked about traveling and some differences between cities and counties. It really inspired me - it's honestly one of my favorite topics! So why not talk about this whole world this time? Share our traveling and living-abroad stories, learn about new places, traditions and food, and do another fun creative task ;)
Join me tomorrow!
