And we continue laying paths, at a price slightly cheaper than gold.

It rained this morning, but we’re still digging curbs.

The wheelbarrow just can’t go uphill; the mud quickly wraps around the wheels, and it stops. We have to carry curbs on our backs.

As luck would have it. There was no rain all summer. Everything was wasted. And then, in November, the sky doesn’t close.

Sometimes it feels like too much has been taken on, and from the outside it seems unreasonable and excessive. But anyone familiar with the current situation in Ukraine and understanding how challenging these four days have been in Odesa will understand.

Rain, drones – it doesn’t matter! We have to do it! So we don’t have to trudge through the swamp and drag mud on our shoes to the cats, so the wheelbarow can run and everything is clean.

And these aren’t just whims. I’d like to remind you that the enclosures are cleaned twice a day. And the amount of waste generated per day is five wheelbarrows.

We’ve already completed a third of the work! We must continue, no matter what!
