| Stay and home dads and blogging |
| 2011-10-09 22:37:48 |
Four of five years ago, I would have been horrified at the thought of writing a blog. I am a very private person and thought blogs were done for self publicity and for attention but I know this is not true. There are millions of blogs on the Internet, people blog about everything from sailing to sex. I only started this tiny blog because I love writing and I had nothing to do when I first arrived in Moscow. I thought a blog about being a full time father at home, looking after a baby in...

Today after teaching a plump, rich, lazy Russian boy English, I went into a supermarket in Moscow called Seven Continent. My mission target was to get some vegetables and a bottle bitter lemon, hardly a big shop and an idea that I would later regret.
It took me less than five minutes to weigh and bag my battered and bruised vegetables and to get my bitter lemon, but it took me thirty minutes to pay for them. The queue, or as Americans call it the 'line' was a total nightmare. We will...

| Day dreams and zoos |
| 2011-10-07 11:13:54 |
We drive silently to the zoo, I'm working as a nanny today. My bottom is gently caressed by the soft cream leather of the back car seat. We are driving on a fluffy mattress of utter loveliness, as driven by the queen of England and by rich Russians. The Rolls-Royce is very comfortable and sound proof to the outside world. Child X sits next to me making raspberry noises and looking out of the tinted car window. Mrs X sits in the front seat. Her red painted nails gently tap on her ipad...

| A tale of two doctors |
| 2011-10-07 11:12:19 |
In Russia, perhaps the best way to get fast medical treatment is to put your hand in your pocket and pay hard cash. I had an ear problem that went on for about six months without being cured. I would keep going back to a clinic and see an ear doctor. At the clinic, I found that the older the doctor was, the least they seemed to care, perhaps they are tired and underpaid? Eventually, I found a younger doctor at the same clinic who cared and who was professional. The clinic I use, is not...

| The bear returns |

Yesterday, I went running with my kid down to the Olympic stadium by the river here in Moscow. I pushed my kid in his pushchair stroller. He sits there happily eating a chocolate bar looking at the river as his father pants and sweats behind him. I get bewildered looks from Russian's not used to seeing a man with a pushchair or a man running with a child. Both fairly alien concepts in a place like Moscow. We often do this run and both enjoy it. The stadium is a vast Olympic area with...

| Costa del Moscow |
| 2011-10-05 12:33:39 |
Our flat in Costa del Moscow, gets on my nerves. I call it Costa del Moscow to make it sound funnier than it is. We have a female landlord. She is the owner of our flat. We fixed the rent for three years and pay her in Euro. She comes round each month to the front door, to collect the rent in cash. We know she does not pay any tax on the rent. Bank transfer for rent payment is unusual in Moscow. She is a nice enough woman, although typically Soviet and Russian old school in attitude. She is...

| Moscow on a bus |
| 2011-10-03 13:47:15 |
Typical bus for getting around
Being a closet snob, I have always hated and tried to avoid using public transport of any kind. I try to only use it if the public transport is exotic like a Tuk tuk in Bangkok or a river boat trip down a lily covered river. Marshrutka's the yellow buses (also available in white) are a cheap way to get around Moscow. I am only human and therefor forced to use buses and like everyone else, I have to share my private body space with others to get around...

| How to drive in Moscow |
| 2011-09-28 13:17:35 |
Driving
Driving in Moscow requires a change of what you have ever learned at driving school in your own country. Throw away your rule book and learn new ways of driving. When pulling out or turning, do not signal or use any form of turning signal, pull out sharply and speed away. If another driver protests at your lack of signal, hoot at them or give them the finger. When driving on a main Moscow road, do not respect your lane but in the spirit of community, lane share and make face...

I was forced to join a new gym here in sunny Moscow. You may rightly assume that a gym is a luxury and only for those with spare money and spare time and I would usually agree with you but here in Moscow if you want to keep fit, then a gym is your only real option. This is because of the long icy winters, where running outside would be unsafe, the parks have some wild dogs in them and drunks that shout abuse at you as you run by. A gym is a necessity rather than a luxury. I was...

| Moscow marathon 2011 |
| 2011-09-20 22:47:33 |
It was a sunny day on Sunday, perfect for some light exercise. My mission, was to run 10 km in the Moscow marathon, not a long way but long enough for a beginner. I met with some friends at the starting point. A band was playing brass band music and the atmosphere was happy and relaxed. We left our backpacks in a tent and pinned on our race numbers onto our running tops. Everyone began to run from the start and people cheered and smiled as they began the marathon. At the start of the race...
