"Ngihlala ngibheke phambili ehlobo. Lapho usuku lude, ilanga liyakhanya, bese kuba nesimo sengqondo esihluke ngokuphelele nasempilweni, nasemsebenzini. Ngikhumbula izinsuku ezishisayo ekuqaleni kukaMashi, ngiyakhumbula ukuthi ngangijabule kanjani lapho leli ehlobo selifikile ngoMeyi, ngangifuna isimo sezulu esinjalo ukuba siqhubeke sonke isikhathi sasehlobo. Sonke sichithe sonke isikhathi emoyeni omusha: bangakwazi ngisho nokuhlangana nelanga elifudumele. Babengasadlalwa ekhaya, kodwa emgwaqweni, ama-picnics nemibuthano ahlelwe lapho. Kepha uJuni weza, kwafika imvula nokubanda kuye. Wasukuma ngokushesha lelo hlobo laphela. Nsuku zonke ngibuka isibikezelo sezulu kwi-Intanethi, kodwa yena, ngeshwa, akajabuli. Ngize ngichaze kaningana futhi angizange ngikhulume "ngoJuni", kodwa "ngo-Okthoba". Ikakhulu lapho ebheka efasiteleni futhi wabona umoya onamandla nokuthela imvula.
Bekumele sithole izinto ezifudumele, izingane - uLera noSeryozha - manje lapho zikhula ngokushesha, futhi izingubo ezinokuwa kokugcina zisencane. Uma ngivele ngithole izingubo zami ngaphandle kwengubo, khona-ke bekufanele ngithenge izinto ezintsha. Bekumele ngikhohlwe ngezingubo nama-beacons, ngiziguqula zibe ngama-tights nama-sweats.
Siphila ngaphandle kwedolobha lapho indawo ihlala ikhula khona izimbali kuphela, kodwa futhi igcina imibhede emincane enemifino, imifino kanye namajikijolo. Manje angazi ngisho ukuthi bazosinda kanjani kulokhu kubanda. Okungathandeki ikakhulukazi - isimo sezulu siyashintsha kakhulu: nje lokho bekuyilanga, ngemuva komzuzu lapho imvula enkulu, okuthi isambulela esingasindisi. Omunye umzuzu - futhi ilanga. Futhi umoya. Ngaphandle kwefasitela ebusuku + 5, futhi lokhu kusezandleni. Esifundeni saseTver ngisho neqhwa liwela. Futhi hhayi nje i-snowball ekhanyayo, eshesha ukwedlula umhlaba ufinyelela, kepha ungqimba oluhle lweqhwa. Imigwaqo ibisaba amahora amabili. Ngokwazi kwami, uMurmansk akazange adlule iqhwa ngemvula. IMoscow yephule ama-degree amakhulu. Ngo-Okthoba wangempela, hhayi ngenye indlela. Ungacabanga ukuthi abantu abasemafulethini: ukufudumala akusekho lapho, futhi abaningi banokuxhunyaniswa okushisayo. Hhayi ukufudumala. Kuyadingeka ukufaka ama-heater adliwe kakhulu ngogesi, futhi ajoyine izingubo ezifudumele.
Ngesikhathi sohambo kwelinye lamadolobha, izilaleli zazihleli ejazini: Amawadi awasasebenzi, futhi ahlale phansi ikhonsathi ephelele endaweni yokushisa emgwaqweni + 10 ezingutsheni ezikhanyayo ayinakwenzeka. Kepha siyaqapha ukudansa kanye nesimo esihle. Izithameli ezinhle zaphendulwa ngokusobala ekunikezelweni kwami ukuze zisukume ezindaweni bese ziqala ukudansa. Kubukeka kimi ukuthi ngisho nasemgwaqweni kusihlwa wakukhumbula "," kusho uMargarita Sulankina ngokumamatheka.
