Kyiv is under ballistic missile attack. Unscheduled power cut. A new EcoFlow (portable power station) was delivered a few minutes ago as the previous one was saying goodbye. Life.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Today I took warm socks out of the drawer. The woollen ones the Lady with Golden Hands knitted in the last years of her life. Every time I pass the place where she used to sell them, I sigh. Her smile... It's getting colder in Kyiv.

Drone debris falls on Kyiv like steel rain. The mayor keeps us informed about the damage it causes. We pretend we have umbrellas to hide under. Saturday evening. Drone attack again. I look out of the window to check whether it’s raining or not.

Grey morning in Kyiv. What a joy to learn that metro trains cross the Dnipro River over ‘my’ bridge again. Yesterday, it was quite a challenge for me to get to the right bank of the city. But I met interesting people and brought rainy beauty in the pockets of my phone.

Thank you, Denmark🇩🇰🫂🫂🇺🇦 Denmark has transferred over 50,000 rounds of ammunition for F-16s to Ukraine — they are already being used to shoot down jet drones, – Ministry of Defense ​ These are 20mm rounds for fighter jet cannon.

Rainy day in Kyiv. But I do love rain. To stand under a tree without an umbrella. To listen to the heavy sound of drops falling from the leaves. You won’t see it in the media or perhaps anywhere else. There is autumn in Kyiv. Autumn.

Kyiv. Evening. I don’t like this feeling of waiting for the power to go off. The schedule says 7:30 pm. The power cut is late and could come at any second without knocking. So, I’m turning into a woman with a flashlight wondering where her power cut is wandering.

Morning in Kyiv after the night attack. I woke up early to make a warcoffee, wash and dry my hair before the power outage. My sleep was chopped up by explosions. russians hit the metro infrastructure on ‘my’ bridge. So, once again, metro trains aren’t crossing the Dnipro River over it.
