I had wanted to go roller-skating, but Mortum crushed this plan by offering to go to the city centre (thanks God it wasn't so boiling hot outside!). His is missing Julia and I've caught this wistful mood too =/
These days are harmonious and 'sweeeeeeeeet:)' I try to collect some thoughts in the head but all that I've achieved is making plans without fulfiling 'em:))
I need to finish cross-stiching (a birthday present). Yes. I need.

Well, in order not to be dull, I've made a translation (practice before studying! :D)
- <…> I have a photo which I haven’t shown. It was made it Moscow Zoo. There I’m standing with a red hare-rabbit in my hands.
- Indeed a ‘hare-rabbit’?!
- I don’t know for sure whether he was a hare or a rabbit. Animal itself… Living in a zoo, selling his body: for money you could take it, stroke and squeeze.
- Usual prostitution! – I laughed.
- Yeah… And for extra payment you could take a photo with him. There I did. And hid a photo. Never show anybody.
- Too risky ‘twas? – I made a fun. – The hare is naked and in black stockings?
- Hell, no, - Lida frowned. – The hare is OK. A well-fed, big-eared, fluffy dude… Simply, my face on the photo is too sweet. The happy snoot, almost childish…
- I got it. A defenseless smile, bunny in hands, baby talking – a shame! Never show whatever happens! Shall we?
- That’s it, - Lida sighed. – What does it lead to? We want to seem worse than we are?
- Probably no. Not exactly. Nothing about ‘we want’. Just embarrassing…
- Are embarrassed to show best of us,?
- Yep, that’s closer to the point.
- And how! We have realized at the same time , the we need to seem clever, ironical, prudent, cold-blood little bastards. But… Aren’t we that kind of?
- Sure we are not. We are tender, sentimental, sensitive, ephemeral pieces of internal structure. We are – oh jeez! – good and kind. It’s a shame to admit that.
*As you can see, a dialog in Russian grammar looks this way. I’m too lazy to put any quotation marks instead of dashes. Hope the text’s understandable anyway.
The text is shortened.
