Hey, yesterday I promised to tell you why we invited so many guests. I’ll try to explain it shortly. One year ago, my grandmother passed away, and today was the anniversary of that day. In Muslim tradition, after someone passes away, the family gathers on the 3rd, 7th, and 40th days, and again after one year. That’s why we invited our close relatives, neighbors, and friends.

Today the weather was very sunny and warm, and I didn’t want to spend the whole day at home. So we went to the village again. There I helped build and prepare tables for our guests. If you ask what guests, I can answer: tomorrow we invited approximately thirty guests to the village. I think I can tell you more about it tomorrow.

Good evening everyone. Yesterday I arrived in my hometown and I was very tired. I even skipped my English practice and couldn’t use Duolingo. Duolingo gave me one "freezing day". I lay down around 7–8 PM for 1–2 hours but fell asleep. I woke up at 2 AM, but by then it was already very late, so I decided to continue sleeping and finally woke up at 9 AM.

Last weekend, I visited the village of Burbashsky Sardygan, which is about 120 kilometers from Kazan. In the summer, I posted a video about this place on my YouTube channel, where I walked through the most beautiful spots. This time, I decided to walk the same paths again and also collect fresh water from the local spring, "Nurzida," since I only drink water. The walk was nice, and the nature was just as beautiful as before. You can watch the summer video at the link.

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.
