Last weekend I visited my sister, Maris and his newly born daughter Marta. It’s quite strange feeling to be an uncle now.

Winter is come to his end and 2 weeks ago I take part in skiing championship of Riga city. Of 10 or 11 competitors in elite group I finished in 4th place, and quite far from podium, but I satisfied of my result, because later looking up at competitors names in competition protocol I saw that 5 of them represented different skiing sports club. On 5 km of skiing I lost 2 minutes. So I will try to improve my results in hard training in summer. I already buy roller skiis for that.

My cousin Igors will going to be married and he invited me to his weddings in next month. I hesitated for a long time because he live in Belarus 600 km from here and different more formalities with visa and insurance i should pass.

Last two days I spoiled my nerves with such laptop my coworker asked me to repair. Bloody laptop had a partly damaged HDD, which was not being visible from Windows XP formatting tool and many others “fix and repair” tools, but was seen in BIOS. Strange but Windows 7 saw this HDD and I was able to format and save users files this way. Fortunately Windows 7 is not required huge PC parameters, and I ought not to try leave Win-XP on it

After done reading my first English book Memoirs of Geisha I fall into fancy to read one after another. Elza granted me one as a present, and later I bought one more, but unfortunately they is written in extremely complicated language with so many American idioms and complex sentence structure , that I could barely understood context of few introducing chapters and then I just discontinue reading. Probably I should start reading some easily understood books as Harry Potter or Lord of The Rings.
