10.40 Mosco 7.40 UK

Off to see Lenin right now - mental note:- if do not want to get shot, do not corpse (and that is not an intentional pun). Strawberry hill and the seven stalinist sisters later. Experienced legendary Soviet hospitality at breakfast - serving babushka obviously bollocking me for something but I have not got the faintest idea what? Never mind.

Beatiful day in Moscow today - netween minus 11 and minus 14 yesterday but did not feel that cold unless you took a deep breath and then it got you in the lungs.

15 mins is nearly up so best be off.
