These days, nothing special is happening. I’m working from home, going for walks in the evenings, and visiting the pool once a week. The end of the year has been very busy, and there’s a constant feeling of not having enough time

Nothing unusual has been happening these last few days. I’ve started working again after a two-week vacation. The only notable thing is that I bought a GoPro 13 in the standard package. I also got a waterproof case for underwater filming and a small bag.

Today, I visited the pool and plan to go every week, training with my personal coach. My goal is to improve my swimming skills, especially with the breaststroke and freestyle, and also practice diving and underwater swimming.

Yesterday was an interesting day! I met someone who impressed me not only with their personality but also with their language skills. This person speaks 6 languages fluently: English, Albanian, Spanish, French, Turkish, and, what is especially pleasant for me, Tatar! It was amazing because it’s rare to meet someone who knows our native language at such a level. This person lives outside of Tatarstan, and despite that, they speak Tatar remarkably well. They are also interested in Tatar culture and have created a website to help people learn the Tatar language.

Today was a warm day, with the temperature in the car fluctuating around -1°C and 0°C. The roads were slushy and muddy, and the snow hadn't melted yet. According to the forecast, temperatures are expected to stay below freezing.

Yesterday, I wrote a post about how there’s no snow and when it will finally come, but unexpectedly, today the snow has piled up. Everything around is covered in white, pristine snow. Even the trees have snow on their branches, like little snowflakes. It feels like winter arrived suddenly!
