Hey, friends! I wasn't here for a long time because I had troubles with accessing this site. Now I've fixed them. I'm happy that you've got lots of changes but one thing isn't so enjoyable for me. You have your online meetings on the site now and I tried one today. Well, it doesn't work with me((( I can fix my access problem to go ON the site, but it's not enough for online meetings... Pity! I miss my old friends very much-hello everyone who remembers me ❤️🤗 I see that Couch Mila is the only person who still has meetings in Zoom, but I work on Friday afternoons... Well, listening the podcasts then and answering Couch Shane's questions... eh! I hope everyone's doing great! Hugzzzzzz...... 🤗🤗🤗💓

Yesterday we celebrated not only Easter, but also World Cosmonautics Day! 🚀 65 years ago, the first man — Yuri Gagarin — went into outer space. To mark this date, I’ve put together a small collection of jokes and space oddities. I hope you will enjoy it! 🧑‍🚀✨ 🚀 Space Life: Funny & Awkward “Good night, or good morning?” On the ISS, the Sun rises and sets 16 times a day, so astronauts live by GMT. But one rookie forgot to reset his watch and fell asleep… right during a communication session with Earth. The crew commander later said: “Next time, snore in Russian — it’s louder!” “Where are my socks?” In zero gravity, clothes tend to drift away. One German astronaut launched a full‑on “sock hunt” after a missing sock hid behind the panels for a month. When they finally found it, the whole crew held a “return celebration” — with floating cookies. 🎤 Space Pranks Someone brought a rubber snake to the ISS and left it in the ventilation. When it floated out right in front of a Japanese astronaut’s face, he swore in Russian for the first time in his life (before that, he only knew polite phrases). 📡 Funny Talks with Earth “We have a UFO here!” One crew jokingly reported seeing an “unidentified object” to Mission Control. Panic started on the ground — until the cosmonauts admitted it was just some loose thermal insulation. Mission Control’s reply: “Next ‘UFO’ will count as your vacation day.” 🌍 Return to Earth: Odd moments After long stays in zero gravity, astronauts forget Earthly habits. One Russian, back on solid ground, dropped a cup and froze in horror — he was waiting for it to float away. And a Canadian astronaut confessed that the first thing he did after landing was kick a stone — just to check that it falls. 👩‍🚀 I’m not a cosmonaut, but I can spend a long time looking at the sky and thinking about alien worlds. Happy belated Cosmonautics Day! 🌌

In Russia, we’re celebrating Orthodox Easter today! Happy Easter to all Orthodox Christians out there!
