    Yesterday was a working day, so there were few people.
    The weather was excellent. You can have an idea how Russian autumn looks like.

    I hope I understood pretty good the meaning of your Mr. Blue - sad, dull, bleak, dismal, despondent, gloomy. Wrong?

    Context is wrong. His sentence indicated it as a clear positive my friend. -Tyr

    Welcome back, Balu! Good to see you.

    Let us know in a separate thread what you think about your Mr. Putin's latest foray into the Middle East. A lot of us here like to compare him favorably to our own spineless President.
