like what they are claiming?)

I don't think they are claiming anything at all if i am right to get you this way. The article carries some new information dealing with human health. The article doesn't mean to impose anything on its readers. Just some facts we can take into consideration. It's up to us to consider it or not. This the way I get it.

NatalyS I see - thanks


Ladies, I want to introduce you to my son, Timothy

Here he is checking that everything is in order with his passport in preparation for our trip to Russia in January


Here he is making sure the passport is authentic


Here he is satisfied that everything is in order

Jez
My congratulations! A great guy! I think he is always in the mood for joking, isn't he? I like his name

Two good reasons why you should count colour.

1 Brightly coloured foods tend to be those (red peppers, carrots, and spinach, for example) which are low in calories, so they naturally help contreoj your weight. Following the colour balance it's an easy way to create a healthy diet without using kitchen scales or nutrution and calory charts.

2 A wide range of colours in your diet means that you'll naturally get a good range of vitamins and minerals, plant chemicals and disease protection. Researchers have found it's often the compounds that give vegetables and fruits their vivid colour - important for keeping arteries healthy, boosting immunity, and fighting disease. They may be the key to anti-aging and a long life, and can also help you to look better by protecting the collagen in your skin.

Dear girls,
I will be very glad if you accept me into your friendly company. To tell the truth I hesitated to start at ESR as you have known each other for a long time and may be you don’t need somebody else. But you are so warm and friendly!
Natasha you asked about the most famous dishes here. I am afraid I will disappoint you. We visit our friends and relatives and every time we have a lot of tea and that is all. So I don’t know what dish is popular here. My husband cooks very well (it’s not only my opinion but our friends as well). His traditional dishes are: Sheppard’s Pie (it’s the same as Russian запеканка with meat), Irish Stew, Irish Soup and Chicken Massala (sorry for spelling). He fries Scottish salmon deliciously (we had a little party and our friends were delighted).
Sorry it looks like a mail. I need practice.

Hullo, darling. It's my special pleasure to see you here.
I'll come back a bit later as I'm waiting for a guest. She is a nice woman from my past when I was a school girl. We met on the Odnoklassniki.ru and she appeared to live just in the same yard as my children live. It's our first meeting and I'm a bit nervous.

Natasha, dear,
Don’t worry about this meeting with your school friend, everything will be fine. See you, Splattie, Alina, Ayisha and all the rest girls later. Today I have an appointment from the company where I work and we will go to the place near Leeds. I will interpret an interview. And I do feel very nervous because the company didn’t give the right address and post code again (I checked up on internet) and it will irritate my husband as he drives. I understand him. Wish us good luck. See you.

Elenayork - we are very glad to have you here and hope you feel comfortable in our company!

Good luck to you in your interview/interpretation!
Good luck to NatalyS with your meeting!

elenayork,

Hello, dear girls.

And I liked all puctures here

elenayork

Good luck!

I saw the list of colourful fruit and vegetables....I agree, they are very good.
I have a glass of carrot juice every morning and I eat a lot of fruit and vege from the list ,but I don't like raising...it's too sweet.
I just want to say about Goji berries wich contain very high level of antioxigant compared to other fresh berries. It is occording to measure by ORAC( Oxigan Radical Absorbance Capacity)

I have never heard of this berry before - is it native to Australia?

Something that is more familiar to us (those from the former USSR) - pomegranates! I am surprised that the study didn't mention them either. They are incredibly good for our bodies

Dear Natasha, Alina and Olga,
Thank you so much for your kind wishes and support! It works! It helped! Frankly speaking not only my husband but I am nervous every time when I have an appointment as often I have no notion about the place where I will interpret: instead its name in the document there is an abbreviation. What does it mean? Then it happens that during an interpreting session you learn such shocking details of somebody’s life that after it I doubt sometimes that I understand it right. But in spite of it I like my job very much.
Natasha and what about your meeting? Did you recognize your friend from your childhood? Did you have a good time?

Alina your son is gorgeous! And the photos are wonderful! Especially I like the photo where he tries to taste his passport or find out if it’s authentic. It will be his first visit to Russia, won't it? And you? Were you in Russia long ago?

Olga I have just seen your picture gallery. The photos of the ocean are beautiful! But it’s a pity that you didn’t comment where it was taken and who is in the photo. It's interesting. But may be I couldn't find the comments, sorry.

Natasha and what about your meeting?

It was great actually! We chatted for 5 hours and couldn't stop recollecting the place we used to live in and the people we studied or mixed with. Maybe she has a better memory as far as she remembers me and my younger sister she used to study with but neither my sister nor me remember Lena. You see we lived only for a year and a half there. Nevertheless we are remembered. It's great! Now Lena has Ph.D. in chemistry and teaches at our technical university. We appeared to have much in common not only memories but tastes, interests, views on life, etc... We agreed to meet again. (It was coffee with milk nd Lusy's apple pie).

Dear girl, your and your husband's picture is much more beautiful than that one of an actress!

You are so beautiful and your husband is very handsome!

elenayork
Your job sounds interesting - In fact, when I was still studying, I was considering becoming an interpreter... But, alas, life did not work out in such a way. Now I only interpret as a volunteer in our church on sundays and then translate some brochures (our latest have been anti-abortion brochures - such horrible things are described there!).
Thank you for your kind words about my son, Elena - it will indeed be his first time in Russia. We are going to visit my husband's parents. He has not seen them for about 7 years now, but I have been to visit them 3 years ago. It will be interesing being in Moscow, then in Saratov in the dead of winter (January -brrr).

NatalyS - I am glad your meeting went very well. It is very wonderful to reconnect with a former acquaintance. I have had a similar situation just this wednesday evening. A girl I studied with in high school somehow found my new number and called to chat. It was great fun - and we even scheduled a time to meet in November when she will be visiting my state .

Good day, ladies - best of luck and God bless!

Thank you, Nataly!

Jez Thanks a lot! I hope your stay in Russia will be a success despite cold winter. You and your family will be warmed with your nearests and dearests' hearts!

NatalyS
Natasha, dear, I have an impression that you and you guest enjoyed your meeting very much! It’s really wonderful! Sometimes life gives us such interesting and unexpected meetings. It’s like a gift. And today I have received a gift from My Darling: it’s a new beautiful camera. Autumn has just shown its first signs here, and tomorrow (if there is no rain) I am going to take my new camera and later will show you a beautiful autumn here, if you don’t mind.

Jez
Alina, it was so pleasant to see your family! I join Natasha’s wishes that you won’t feel Russian frost as you and your family will be warmed by the hearts of your nearest and dearest. I’d like to say some words about my husband, the way he takes Russian and Siberian frost. He came to Russia in December of 2005 (at that time my future husband). I met him the airport as my plane had landed a half an hour before (We both came from London but by different flights, and I was with our delegation as an interpreter). So I met him, it was early morning and the temperature was -32C. And then he lived in Siberia all the winter (for 3 months), and that was the coldest winter in Siberia for the last 20 years. Sometimes the temperature was -45C. At first My Darling appeared in the streets without a hat or cap, and people looked at him surprisingly ; then he thought that his English boots were good for Siberian winter … We bought everything for him. And in spite of the temperature -45C he loves Siberian winter very much! He is proud that he was in Siberia at that time. Now he likes to tell his friends in the club about it, but they don’t believe! He asked me to confirm it, I do, but the expression of doubt is still on their faces. So when next the possibility appears he has asked some of his friends to come to us for a visit the next time we spend the winter in Siberia.
Alina, you mentioned in your last message that you visited a church. What church was it?

elenayork
Yes, indeed, the winters in Russia, and Siberia especially, are truly cold. I do not blame the Londoners for disbelieving you and your husband

As for the church - we attend the Evangelical Baptist Church in Union, NJ. It is a church that has a Russian and American congregation, so whichever language the sermon is preached, it still has to be interpreted into the other language!

Hi, girls, I've missed so many interesting topicks!!!!
Jez your son is so qute little fellow!!!! It' s so sad, that you should work all the time, and not to have alot of time to spend whith him! I adore every moment I spend whith my daughter now!
Splatie we going to selebrate my daughters second birthday in december.
Nataly this theory about food colours and health benefits is very interesting, I would be glad to get more information about it, especially because I love fruit, and dried fruit are first among them!
And you asked me about black pudding, I buy it sometimes in supermarket or butcher shop, it's nice on grill, or just pan-fried whith eggs and backon, it calls here " Tradicional Scottish Breakfast" I can hardly eat a half of portion, it's sooooo big!
Elena nice to meet you! I can confirm, that many UK residents could be very surprised, then you tell them, that it was -30 in Latvia, because here, if the temperature does down, and starts snowing- the life simply fades. childrens do not go to school, bus service stops, and you can't use your own car, because nobody knows about all-season tyres, and sumer tyres just useless! I really miss snowy and cold winters!

Alina
Firstly, your new picture is very nice...you are a beautiful couple.

No, it isn't. There is a lot of information in internet about these barries .

Thanks a lot
On the pictures there are: my husband's sun (wearing red hat), my sun (by ocean and night Perth) and I....of course there are comments on the subject whete I put these fotos.
Elena actually if you want to see beautiful pictures, you sould look at "Царство орхидей" в теме "Мой отдых". It is really wonderful sight.
I would like to recomend it everybody for good mood

NatalyS
I see you were really happy with the meeting...that's great!

Just a few wold else.....about Russian winter
There are many people from Asia and Africa in Australia.
Most of them have never seen snow and it is impossible to them to imagine cald weather even like 0.....what about -40. In Perth tempirature has never been below +1

As for me I'm looking forward to seeing new pictures presenting Great Britain
