Plans...Plans..

This is about some my future plans .
My nearest plan - move to another, better place. I hope, we can find good property in Kogarah or Rockdale. It will be my 12th moving. After my 17-teen, when I left my home-village and mama, and moved to Saint-Petersburg for studying, I've never lived more than 4 years in one place, usually less than 1 year. Good opportunity to throw away rubbish from your house and head, but now I dream about The Home and The Castle. ))
During the holidays I have to study Driver Knowledge test and, perhaps, get a learner license. Then practice driving as much as possible.
After the holidays I'm going to do Training and Skills for Work course. As my skills will improve I hope to find part-time or casual job. Anyway, I will look for something next semester.
Good luck for all of us.
Our English lessons were very happy time for me.
I am looking forward to see you again, my friends. I already miss you.
Dear Marion... Thank you.
Lucy.

"The Castle"

"The Castle" is the film about Kerrigan's family- parents and four children. It's a very close knit family, they loved each other, they were considerate, gentle and easy-going.
We have known a lot about all members of family, their achievements, hobbies and favorite things. I couldn't determine who I like more, because they supplemented each other. For me this people were more interesting as a family then separately. I like them all together.
Very often Kerrigan's looked funny, unsophisticated, even a bit silly, but they have done the main work - they have built not house, but home. They have established their Castle.

Bushwalking around Bundeena.

Things to see and to do:
1) Dharawal Engravings
Dharawal Engravings - it is the fascinating Aboriginal rock platform carvings. The artworks depict food sources, creation themes, birth and Dreaming figures. Other ones depict killer whales, stingrays, turtles, kangaroos, long ago carved by the Dharawal people of the area. Carvings are located on the cliff walk, some 700 metres above the water level.
2) Bundeena Reserve
Wildlife in the reserve includes echidnas, flying foxes, ringtail possums, brushtail possums, blue-tongued lizards, diamond pythons and red-bellied black snakes. There is a signposted path.
3) Views
The National Park Fire Break, which protects the eastern border of Bundeena from bush fires, runs north-south between Eric St and Beachcomber Ave. At various points of it provides views of the Jibbon headland, Sydney, the sand hills of Cronulla, the Kurnell headland and the National Park.
4) Smooth-Barked Apple
Just inside the entrance to the caravan park (in Scarborough St) is an excellent example of a smooth-barked apple (also known as Sydney red gum) which has been heritage-listed.
5) The Coast Track
For people wanting to explore the coastline there is the 'Coast Track', a marvellous 26-kilometre walk from Bundeena to Otford. The Coast Track runs the length of the park's coastline, passing through Little Marley and Marley Beach, Wattamolla, Burning Palms and Garie.
I look forward to see Bundeena!

My thoughts about time.

Time runs too quickly for me. Even weekdays fly... what to say about weekends? It's just a flash! Week-ends always not enough for all my businesses. I’m not an excellent time – manager. So, very often I think “I do it tomorrow” or “I start it on Monday”. Sometimes really do, sometimes not.
I remember only one period of my life when I never worried about the time – it’s my childhood, especially holidays. Holidays - it was a whole life, very interesting, full of being. Holidays went, went and never end.
But my seven-year- old daughter considers that time runs too quickly for her. What will she say when she turns thirties?
Wise men say – if you want feel alive, don’t think about yesterday and tomorrow – be here and now.

Mother's Day

The modern Mother's Day was created by Anna Jarvis, as a day to honor mothers and motherhood. The practice of celebrating a Mother's Day to honor your own mother is a recent tradition, first established in the U.S.A. in the early 20th century.
On this day Mothers get presents and special attention from their children, families and friends.

Swine flu

Swine flu is a respiratory disease that infects pigs and is caused by a flu virus. Pigs can be ill but rarely die from the virus. Normally this virus not infects humans. But occasionally it can happen when people have had close contact with pigs. The flu virus constantly changes and now swine flu spreads from person to person. Swine flu is a new virus so no-one will have immunity to it and everyone could be at risk of catching it. This includes healthy adults as well as older people and children. At this time there had been just seven deaths - all in Mexico - and 79 confirmed cases of the disease.
The Russian official news source confirmed: there are no swine flu cases in Russia at present.
