This month the students are working, taking turns getting milking experience in our barn with Yana. Garry was up early and in bed late the first week, training them as they worked, but now they just come and do their thing, and then come in and use our shower, at least most of them have been showering in our bathroom and leaving their dirty barn clothes in bags in the arch room or Andrei's room, where they change.

Andrei has missed out on his turns as he has been visiting the hospital in Zaporozhye (that's how spell check wants it, its the way it is spelled on signs in English, but I can not see why they pronounce it Za-por-rose-ya) to get his shoulder checked out, he hurt it sledding while we were in Canada, and they operated on Tuesday afternoon. He is supposed to be in hospital for ten days.
Since our big outing for the month was Tuesday evening to Thursday morning when we took the train to Kiev and visited a farm show with the students he missed out on it too. The students enjoyed the excursion, after the show, which they found impressive, was over we did some sightseeing, riding the Metro (subway) and walking in a downtown park, before getting some dinner, and walking some more before going back to the train station for our 11pm train back to Dnepropetroesk. Everyone returned with us .... so a successful outing! Just joking, here are some photos. Some got out of order while loading, we are still having internet problems...
