Volunteers Day of Het Groninger Landschap 2017 - in Dollard, Reidehoeve.

Once in summer time it happens that our great provincial NGO (actually a foundation, but very much people-based) - Het Groninger Landschap - organises a volunteer day. With diversity of activities and talks and much more. This time I made myself a very strange / unusual choice: that I join the group that will be painting at the dike. Really quick, two hours max... Well, that's us - painting at the dike.

Start migrating to here from all different blogging spaces?

I have no idea how long it takes, but it seems I came to a moment I stop writing in Russian blog on Livejournal and on the copy I made in Dreamwidth.

Have to answer first for myself: why do I write whatever blog? It was formerly a sort of a diary for many very real and very dear friends - but now it happens it is read by people I do not even know.
Time to give a short stop and to reconsider - what are the values of the things I do, investing my own time and hours of my own life?

With this just said - what a surprise, I do use another open space since April - trying to accumulate there my thoughts / impressions / info - about apples.

But for the time being - this place happens to be the most comfortable.
And all my friends and family and former colleagues - Russian, Dutch, international... - can read English. Why don't I switch myself to English as No.1 blogging language? Just talking to myself.

You will see what happens.


Photo to draw attention to words - from a folder with yet unfinished story: how to make this flower carpet in the garden. Yes, initially I planned it for the blog in Russian.

Ради интереса пересспрошу по-русски - пробую для себя переосмыслить личные мотивации - зачем то я все-таки писала же по русски в ЖЖ-блог? Исходно для заметок типа дневника - чтоб по 10 раз одно и то же не перессказывать многим дорогим знакомым. А теперь то зачем? Кому-то еще русские блогозаметки важны? Может проще по-английски все-таки?
