Blog Notes

Blogging’s likely to be slow until month’s end, as I’m leaving for Russia later this morning and won’t be spending much time on line. The guest bloggers may drop by now, and don’t forget to check out the blogroll. I’ll be back March 2nd. Try not to break anything.

    Beautiful place full of interesting history and some really nice people, well unless its Moscow, which attracts the same sorts of lowlifes as all capital cities.
    Enjoy and we look forward to your report back.

  4. “Say “Hi!” to Vlad for us.”
    Aye, and tell him we agree that Obammy is a yellow putz…but that he (Putin) is still a dickhead.

  5. Have a safe , interesting and enjoyable trip Kate ! A small aside . The Bomber wants another billion of our money and will LIKLEY get it. Does anyone but me think we need an environmental review of how much co2 these jets will be contributing to the environment ? Right ! Ha ! Ha . Not bloody LIKLEY !

  6. Have a good and safe trip but watch what you say, while freedom of speech may be disappearing in the west it has never existed in Mother Russia.

  7. safe travels.
    As a cynic I do wonder, why visit Russia? Just sit still Justine is bringing modern Russia to you.
    Oligarch or Liberal friend, whats the difference?.
    Enjoy Russia, I have always wanted to take the Trans Siberia Express.

  8. Oh…..so you’re leaving the country and it’s gonna be OUR fault if something happens? Something like a large party, or a small fire, or somebody almost gets their eye put out? You just have a good time and don’t worry your pretty little head. We’ll be just fine. I really mean that.

  9. Enjoy yourself, Ms. McMillan. No Political Correctness there! And gold crosses everywhere.
    For an artist the Hermitage in St. Petersburg is inexhaustible, but the Tretyakov in Moscow is a must if you are there.

  10. So, top secret undercover operation smuggling champion Schnauzer semen to Russian Wolfhound breeder in diabolical plan to dominate the canine show circuit??
    You are one demented lady!
    But hey…. if it works for you…
    Good travels!
