English speaking room

I can definitely say that some school-learned words in Russia they don't fit in modern language. Like, let's say, we learned "to be engaged in research" - it does not exist, obsolete; and people laugh at it.
And I bet everyone has seen the book "Happy English" - it is so much fun

Roast rack of lamb Du Barry (вот за провописание этого Du Barry не уверена, торопилась. Значит это будет «жареная решетка из ягненка а ля Du Barry».

I hope you would not mind to talk about that here . I was thinking about the word "rack" - you've translated it as "a grid", but actually "rack" means "a line of ribs", like a side of ribs. I was thinking about the best equivalent in Russian, but couldn't find one (I am not a butcher and hardly can find even t-bone ) probably other girls can find something better.

My congratulations! It's so exciting to watch babies achieve something new like rolling, smiling or toddling....This time we were happy to see our youngest granddaughter walk and dance at the same time. Those were her first steps. I'll try to demonstrate a video of her dancing in the park to the music of a famous Russian rock group.

There are good news as well as bad ones. My husband's brother (only year and two months older than he) died of cancer. Though we weren't close to each other it was a big shock. As for good news, you see my daughter spent three weeks at our place and we mixed with our granddaughters, Nataly and small Olechka, a lot. They are in Greece now. At the beginning of September we are leaving for Greece too. We were going to choose some other country but Greece seems not to want to let us go! Before travelling to Greece we'll spend two days in Moscow with my sister's family. They are celebrating two bithdays: my sister's husband and her daughter's. We've been invited to share a birthday dinner with them in a restaurant. So you see after all the shock we've survived we are going to enjoy life!

This is one of Olechka's pics

NatalyS, thanks! You are right - every day babies make us happy by their new achievements! Hope you will show us how your youngest granddaughter dances
Your Olechka is very sweet and beautiful baby-girl!
Your daughter's name is Nataly too? Wish you a good journey to Moscow and Greece!

Please accept my condolences Let your husband's brother rest in peace.

Динка и Ко
Thank you, darling.
I tried to load the video with Olechka dancing, but failed. Never mind, I'll try again. My daughter's name is Olga. Her husband insisted on naming their younger daughter after her. Hence two Olgas in the family. Their elder daughter is Nataly. You can see her here

NatalyS, hello May be you will load the video on the other internet site (mail.ru, for example). I load only there
Now I see: two Natalies and two Olgas in your big family.
Thanks a lot for sharing the links: It is amazing! Nataly and Sasha are very sportive and brave children! Olga is a sweet hamster

NatalyS, wow! Really the names Natalya and Olga are your favorite. My husband's name is Pavel - as your Olga's husband
The video with Olechka's dance is so funny She is pretty baby and her dancing is charming
Natasha looks like her mummy Olya. And Olechka looks like her daddy, doesn't she? Your daughter is very slim (slender).
