やはり、3月18日でしたか・・・
驚きです
その後が、4月15日にきているので、要注意。
http://20050105.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2013-04-15
今回は、去年の春の嵐の経験と台風の経験を生かして、対応しました。
その結果がこちらです。
ベランダの上に置いてあった植木は、避難で片付けていたのとプラスティックの鉢は、飛ばないようにしていたので
セーフ。ほうきやちりとりは、こっちにきちゃってました。ジョウロも。
そして、奥にある白い棚が、倒れていました。
まあ、この程度で済んだので、あとは、元に戻すだけ
復旧後
目障りなバケツは、あとで片付けます(バラ用の入れ替え用土を入れているのです。)
戻すのにかかった時間は、約20分。
これなら上等です。
さて、明日の夜からスキーなので、自動水やり機の設定をしておかないと。。
2日に1回にしておかないとまずいかな。明日は、寒そうなので、水やりはなしですみそうですが。
午後には、帰ってきてセットして準備して5時には、新幹線にのりますかねー

ウクライナのクリミア半島の編入について [ -Ukraine]
プーチンの演説。英語でのっているので、下記紹介。出展は、こちら。
http://eng.kremlin.ru/news/6889
Vladimir Putin addressed State Duma deputies, Federation Council members, heads of Russian regions and civil society representatives in the Kremlin.PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA VLADIMIR PUTIN: Federation Council members, State Duma deputies, good afternoon. Representatives of the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol are here among us, citizens of Russia, residents of Crimea and Sevastopol!Dear friends, we have gathered here today in connection with an issue that is of vital, historic significance to all of us. A referendum was held in Crimea on March 16 in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms.More than 82 percent of the electorate took part in the vote. Over 96 percent of them spoke out in favour of reuniting with Russia. These numbers speak for themselves.To understand the reason behind such a choice it is enough to know the history ofCrimea and
what Russia and Crimea have always meant for each other.Everything in Crimea speaks of our shared history and pride. This is the location of ancient Khersones, where Prince Vladimir was baptised. His spiritual feat of adopting Orthodoxy predetermined the overall basis of the culture, civilisation and human values that unite the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The graves of Russian soldiers whose bravery brought Crimea into the Russian empire are also in Crimea. This is also Sevastopol – a legendary city with an outstanding history, a fortress that
serves as the birthplace of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Crimea is Balaklava and Kerch, Malakhov Kurgan and Sapun Ridge. Each one of these places is dear to our hearts, symbolising Russian military glory and outstanding valour.Crimea is a unique blend of different peoples’ cultures and traditions. This makes it similar to Russia as a whole, where not a single ethnic group has been lost over the centuries. Russians and Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars and people of other ethnic groups have lived side by side in Crimea, retaining their own identity, traditions, languages and faith.Incidentally, the total population of the Crimean Peninsula today is 2.2 million people, of whom almost 1.5 million are Russians, 350,000 are Ukrainians who predominantly consider Russian their native language, and about 290,000-300,000 are Crimean Tatars, who, as the referendum has shown, also lean towards Russia.True, there was a time when Crimean Tatars were treated unfairly, just as a number of other peoples in the USSR. There is only one thing I can say here: millions of people of various ethnicities suffered during those repressions, and primarily Russians.Crimean Tatars returned to their homeland. I believe we should make all the necessary political and legislative decisions to finalise the rehabilitation of Crimean Tatars, restore them in their rights and clear their good name.We have great respect for people of all the ethnic groups living in Crimea. This is their common home, their motherland, and it would be right – I know the local population supports this – for Crimea to have three equal national languages: Russian, Ukrainian and Tatar.
Colleagues,
In people’s hearts and minds, Crimea has always been an inseparable part of Russia. This firm conviction is based on truth and justice and was passed from generation to generation, over time, under any circumstances, despite all the dramatic changes our country went through during the entire 20th century.After the revolution, the Bolsheviks, for a number of reasons – may God judge them – added large sections of
the historical South of Russia to the Republic of Ukraine. This was done with no consideration for the ethnic make-up of the population, and today these areas form the southeast of Ukraine. Then, in 1954, a decision was made to transfer Crimean Region to Ukraine, along with Sevastopol, despite the fact that it was a federal city. This was the personal initiative of the Communist Party head Nikita Khrushchev. What stood behind this decision of his – a desire to win the support of the Ukrainian political establishment or to atone for the mass repressions of the 1930’s in Ukraine – is for historians to figure out.What matters now is that this decision was made in clear violation of the constitutional norms that were in place even then. The decision was made behind the scenes. Naturally, in a totalitarian state nobody bothered to ask the citizens of Crimea and Sevastopol. They were faced with the fact. People, of course, wondered why all of a sudden Crimea became part of Ukraine. But on the whole – and we must state this clearly, we all know it – this decision was treated as a formality of sorts because the territory was transferred within the boundaries of a single state. Back then, it was impossible to imagine that Ukraine and Russia may split up and become two separate states. However, this has happened.
Unfortunately, what seemed impossible became a reality. The USSR fell apart. Things developed so swiftly that few people realised how truly dramatic those events and
their consequences would be. Many people both in Russia and in Ukraine, as well as
in other republics hoped that the Commonwealth of Independent States that was
created at the time would become the new common form of statehood. They were
told that there would be a single currency, a single economic space, joint armed
forces; however, all this remained empty promises, while the big country was gone.
It was only when Crimea ended up as part of a different country that Russia realised
that it was not simply robbed, it was plundered.
At the same time, we have to admit that by launching the sovereignty parade Russia
itself aided in the collapse of the Soviet Union. And as this collapse was legalised, everyone forgot about Crimea and Sevastopol – the main base of the Black Sea Fleet. Millions
of people went to bed in one country and awoke in different ones, overnight becomin
g ethnic minorities in former Union republics, while the Russian nation became one
of the biggest, if not the biggest ethnic group in the world to be divided by borders.
Now, many years later, I heard residents of Crimea say that back in 1991 they were
handed over like a sack of potatoes. This is hard to disagree with. And what about
the Russian state? What about Russia? It humbly accepted the situation. This
country was going through such hard times then that realistically it was incapable of
protecting its interests. However, the people could not reconcile themselves to this outrageous historical injustice. All these years, citizens and many public figures
came back to this issue, saying that Crimea is historically Russian land and
Sevastopol is a Russian city. Yes, we all knew this in our hearts and minds, but we
had to proceed from the existing reality and build our good-neighbourly relations
with independent Ukraine on a new basis. Meanwhile, our relations with Ukraine,
with the fraternal Ukrainian people have always been and will remain of foremost
importance for us. (Applause)Today we can speak about it openly, and I would like to
share with you some details of the negotiations that took place in the early 2000s.
The then President of Ukraine Mr Kuchma asked me to expedite the process of
delimiting the Russian-Ukrainian border. At that time, the process was practically at
a standstill. Russia seemed to have recognised Crimea as part of Ukraine, but there
were no negotiations on delimiting the borders. Despite the complexity of the
situation, I immediately issued instructions to Russian government agencies to
speed up their work to document the borders, so that everyone had a clear
understanding that by agreeing to delimit the border we admitted de facto and de
jure that Crimea was Ukrainian territory, thereby closing the issue.
We accommodated Ukraine not only regarding Crimea, but also on such a
complicated matter as the maritime boundary in the Sea of Azov and the Kerch
Strait. What we proceeded from back then was that good relations with Ukraine
matter most for us and they should not fall hostage to deadlock territorial disputes.
However, we expected Ukraine to remain our good neighbour, we hoped that
Russian citizens and Russian speakers in Ukraine, especially its southeast and
Crimea, would live in a friendly, democratic and civilised state that would protect
their rights in line with the norms of international law.
However, this is not how the situation developed. Time and time again attempts were
made to deprive Russians of their historical memory, even of their language and to
subject them to forced assimilation. Moreover, Russians, just as other citizens of
Ukraine are suffering from the constant political and state crisis that has been
rocking the country for over 20 years.
I understand why Ukrainian people wanted change. They have had enough of the
authorities in power during the years of Ukraine’s independence. Presidents, prime ministers and parliamentarians changed, but their attitude to the country and its
people remained the same. They milked the country, fought among themselves for
power, assets and cash flows and did not care much about the ordinary people.
They did not wonder why it was that millions of Ukrainian citizens saw no prospects
at home and went to other countries to work as day labourers. I would like to stress
this: it was not some Silicon Valley they fled to, but to become day labourers. Last
year alone almost 3 million people found such jobs in Russia. According to some
sources, in 2013 their earnings in Russia totalled over $20 billion, which is about 12%
of Ukraine’s GDP.
I would like to reiterate that I understand those who came out on Maidan with
peaceful slogans against corruption, inefficient state management and poverty.
The right to peaceful protest, democratic procedures and elections exist for the sole
purpose of replacing the authorities that do not satisfy the people. However, those
who stood behind the latest events in Ukraine had a different agenda: they were
preparing yet another government takeover; they wanted to seize power and would
stop short of nothing. They resorted to terror, murder and riots. Nationalists,
neo-Nazis, Russophobes and anti-Semites executed this coup. They continue to set
the tone in Ukraine to this day.The new so-called authorities began by introducing a
draft law to revise the language policy, which was a direct infringement on the rights
of ethnic minorities. However, they were immediately ‘disciplined’ by the foreign
sponsors of these so-called politicians. One has to admit that the mentors of these
current authorities are smart and know well what such attempts to build a purely
Ukrainian state may lead to. The draft law was set aside, but clearly reserved for the
future. Hardly any mention is made of this attempt now, probably on the
presumption that people have a short memory. Nevertheless, we can all clearly see
the intentions of these ideological heirs of Bandera, Hitler’s accomplice during World
War II.It is also obvious that there is no legitimate executive authority in Ukraine now
, nobody to talk to. Many government agencies have been taken over by the
impostors, but they do not have any control in the country, while they themselves
– and I would like to stress this – are often controlled by radicals. In some cases,
you need a special permit from the militants on Maidan to meet with certain ministers
of the current government. This is not a joke – this is reality.Those who opposed the
coup were immediately threatened with repression. Naturally, the first in line here
was Crimea, the Russian-speaking Crimea. In view of this, the residents of Crimea
and Sevastopol turned to Russia for help in defending their rights and lives, in
preventing the events that were unfolding and are still underway in Kiev, Donetsk,
Kharkov and other Ukrainian cities.Naturally, we could not leave this plea unheeded;
we could not abandon Crimea and its residents in distress. This would have been
betrayal on our part.First, we had to help create conditions so that the residents of
Crimea for the first time in history were able to peacefully express their free will
regarding their own future. However, what do we hear from our colleagues in
Western Europe and North America? They say we are violating norms of
international law. Firstly, it’s a good thing that they at least remember that there
exists such a thing as international law – better late than never.Secondly, and most
importantly – what exactly are we violating? True, the President of the Russian
Federation received permission from the Upper House of Parliament to use the
Armed Forces in Ukraine. However, strictly speaking, nobody has acted on this
permission yet. Russia’s Armed Forces never entered Crimea; they were there
already in line with an international agreement. True, we did enhance our forces
there; however – this is something I would like everyone to hear and know – we did
not exceed the personnel limit of our Armed Forces in Crimea, which is set at 25,000,
because there was no need to do so.Next. As it declared independence and decided
to hold a referendum, the Supreme Council of Crimea referred to the United Nations
Charter, which speaks of the right of nations to self-determination. Incidentally, I
would like to remind you that when Ukraine seceded from the USSR it did exactly the
same thing, almost word for word. Ukraine used this right, yet the residents of Crime
a are denied it. Why is that?Moreover, the Crimean authorities referred to the
well-known Kosovo precedent – a precedent our western colleagues created with
their own hands in a very similar situation, when they agreed that the unilateral
separation of Kosovo from Serbia, exactly what Crimea is doing now, was legitimate
and did not require any permission from the country’s central authorities.
Pursuant to Article 2, Chapter 1 of the United Nations Charter, the UN International
Court agreed with this approach and made the following comment in its ruling of July
22, 2010, and I quote: “No general prohibition may be inferred from the practice of
the Security Council with regard to declarations of independence,” and “General international law contains no prohibition on declarations of independence.” Crystal
clear, as they say.I do not like to resort to quotes, but in this case, I cannot help it.
Here is a quote from another official document: the Written Statement of the United States America of April 17, 2009, submitted to the same UN International Court in connection with the hearings on Kosovo. Again, I quote: “Declarations of independence may, and often do, violate domestic legislation. However, this does not make them violations of international law.” End of quote. They wrote this, disseminated it all over the world, had everyone agree and now they are outraged. Over what? The actions of Crimean people completely fit in with these instructions, as it were. For some reason, things that Kosovo Albanians (and we have full respect for them) were permitted to do, Russians, Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars in Crimea are not allowed. Again, one wonders why.
We keep hearing from the United States and Western Europe that Kosovo is some
special case. What makes it so special in the eyes of our colleagues? It turns out
that it is the fact that the conflict in Kosovo resulted in so many human casualties.
Is this a legal argument? The ruling of the International Court says nothing about
this. This is not even double standards; this is amazing, primitive, blunt cynicism.
One should not try so crudely to make everything suit their interests, calling the
same thing white today and black tomorrow. According to this logic, we have to
make sure every conflict leads to human losses.I will state clearly - if the Crimean
local self-defence units had not taken the situation under control, there could have
been casualties as well. Fortunately this did not happen. There was not a single
armed confrontation in Crimea and no casualties. Why do you think this was so?
The answer is simple: because it is very difficult, practically impossible to fight
against the will of the people. Here I would like to thank the Ukrainian military – and
this is 22,000 fully armed servicemen. I would like to thank those Ukrainian service
members who refrained from bloodshed and did not smear their uniforms in blood.
Other thoughts come to mind in this connection. They keep talking of some Russianintervention in Crimea, some sort of aggression. This is strange to hear. I
cannot recall a single case in history of an intervention without a single shot being
fired and with no human casualties.
Colleagues,
Like a mirror, the situation in Ukraine reflects what is going on and what has been happening in the world over the past several decades. After the dissolution of
bipolarity on the planet, we no longer have stability. Key international institutions are
not getting any stronger; on the contrary, in many cases, they are sadly degrading.
Our western partners, led by the United States of America, prefer not to be guided
by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun. They have
come to believe in their exclusivity and exceptionalism, that they can decide the
destinies of the world, that only they can ever be right. They act as they please: here
and there, they use force against sovereign states, building coalitions based on the principle “If you are not with us, you are against us.” To make this aggression look legitimate, they force the necessary resolutions from international organisations, and
if for some reason this does not work, they simply ignore the UN Security Council
and the UN overall.This happened in Yugoslavia; we remember 1999 very well. It was hard to believe, even seeing it with my own eyes, that at the end of the 20th century, one of Europe’s capitals, Belgrade, was under missile attack for several weeks, and then
came the real intervention. Was there a UN Security Council resolution on this
matter, allowing for these actions? Nothing of the sort. And then, they hit
Afghanistan, Iraq, and frankly violated the UN Security Council resolution on Libya,
when instead of imposing the so-called no-fly zone over it they started bombing it
too.There was a whole series of controlled “colour” revolutions. Clearly, the people
in those nations, where these events took place, were sick of tyranny and poverty,
of their lack of prospects; but these feelings were taken advantage of cynically.
Standards were imposed on these nations that did not in any way correspond to
their way of life, traditions, or these peoples’ cultures. As a result, instead of
democracy and freedom, there was chaos, outbreaks in violence and a series of
upheavals. The Arab Spring turned into the Arab Winter.A similar situation unfolded
in Ukraine. In 2004, to push the necessary candidate through at the presidential
elections, they thought up some sort of third round that was not stipulated by the
law. It was absurd and a mockery of the constitution. And now, they have thrown in
an organised and well-equipped army of militants.We understand what is happening;
we understand that these actions were aimed against Ukraine and Russia and
against Eurasian integration. And all this while Russia strived to engage in dialogue
with our colleagues in the West. We are constantly proposing cooperation on all key
issues; we want to strengthen our level of trust and for our relations to be equal,
open and fair. But we saw no reciprocal steps.On the contrary, they have lied to us
many times, made decisions behind our backs, placed us before an accomplished
fact. This happened with NATO’s expansion to the East, as well as the deployment of
military infrastructure at our borders. They kept telling us the same thing: “Well, this
does not concern you.” That’s easy to say.It happened with the deployment of a
missile defence system. In spite of all our apprehensions, the project is working and
moving forward. It happened with the endless foot-dragging in the talks on visa issue
s, promises of fair competition and free access to global markets.Today, we are
being threatened with sanctions, but we already experience many limitations, ones
that are quite significant for us, our economy and our nation. For example, even
during the times of the Cold War, the US and subsequently other nations restricted
a large list of technologies and equipment from being sold to the USSR, creating the
Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls list. Today, they have
formally been eliminated, but only formally; and in reality, many limitations are still in
effect.In short, we have every reason to assume that the infamous policy of
containment, led in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, continues today. They are
constantly trying to sweep us into a corner because we have an independent
position, because we maintain it and because we call things like they are and do not
engage in hypocrisy. But there is a limit to everything. And with Ukraine, our
western partners have crossed the line, playing the bear and acting irresponsibly
and unprofessionally.After all, they were fully aware that there are millions of
Russians living in Ukraine and in Crimea. They must have really lacked political
instinct and common sense not to foresee all the consequences of their actions.
Russia found itself in a position it could not retreat from. If you compress the spring
all the way to its limit, it will snap back hard. You must always remember this.Today,
it is imperative to end this hysteria, to refute the rhetoric of the cold war and to
accept the obvious fact: Russia is an independent, active participant in international
affairs; like other countries, it has its own national interests that need to be taken
into account and respected.At the same time, we are grateful to all those who
understood our actions in Crimea; we are grateful to the people of China, whose
leaders have always considered the situation in Ukraine and Crimea taking into
account the full historical and political context, and greatly appreciate India’s
reserve and objectivity.Today, I would like to address the people of the United States
of America, the people who, since the foundation of their nation and adoption of the Declaration of Independence, have been proud to hold freedom above all else. Isn’t
the desire of Crimea’s residents to freely choose their fate such a value? Please
understand us.I believe that the Europeans, first and foremost, the Germans, will
also understand me. Let me remind you that in the course of political consultations
on the unification of East and West Germany, at the expert, though very high level,
some nations that were then and are now Germany’s allies did not support the idea
of unification. Our nation, however, unequivocally supported the sincere,
unstoppable desire of the Germans for national unity. I am confident that you have
not forgotten this, and I expect that the citizens of Germany will also support the
aspiration of the Russians, of historical Russia, to restore unity.I also want to
address the people of Ukraine. I sincerely want you to understand us: we do not
want to harm you in any way, or to hurt your national feelings. We have always
respected the territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state, incidentally, unlike those
who sacrificed Ukraine’s unity for their political ambitions. They flaunt slogans about
Ukraine’s greatness, but they are the ones who did everything to divide the nation.
Today’s civil standoff is entirely on their conscience. I want you to hear me, my dear
friends. Do not believe those who want you to fear Russia, shouting that other
regions will follow Crimea. We do not want to divide Ukraine; we do not need that.
As for Crimea, it was and remains a Russian, Ukrainian, and Crimean-Tatar land.I
repeat, just as it has been for centuries, it will be a home to all the peoples living
there. It will never follow in Bandera’s footsteps!Crimea is our common historical
legacy and a very important factor in regional stability. And this strategic territory
should be part of a strong and stable sovereignty, which today can only be Russian. Otherwise, dear friends (I am addressing both Ukraine and Russia), you and we –
the Russians and the Ukrainians – could lose Crimea completely, and that could
happen in the near historical perspective. Please think about it.Let me note too that
we have already heard declarations from Kiev about Ukraine soon joining NATO.
What would this have meant for Crimea and Sevastopol in the future? It would have
meant that NATO’s navy would be right there in this city of Russia’s military glory,
and this would create not an illusory but a perfectly real threat to the whole of
southern Russia. These are things that could have become reality were it not for the
choice the Crimean people made, and I want to say thank you to them for this.But
let me say too that we are not opposed to cooperation with NATO, for this is
certainly not the case. For all the internal processes within the organisation, NATO
remains a military alliance, and we are against having a military alliance making itself
at home right in our backyard or in our historic territory. I simply cannot imagine
that we would travel to Sevastopol to visit NATO sailors. Of course, most of them
are wonderful guys, but it would be better to have them come and visit us, be our
guests, rather than the other way round.Let me say quite frankly that it pains our
hearts to see what is happening in Ukraine at the moment, see the people’s suffering
and their uncertainty about how to get through today and what awaits them
tomorrow. Our concerns are understandable because we are not simply close
neighbours but, as I have said many times already, we are one people. Kiev is the
mother of Russian cities. Ancient Rus is our common source and we cannot live
without each other. Let me say one other thing too. Millions of Russians and
Russian-speaking people live in Ukraine and will continue to do so. Russia will
always defend their interests using political, diplomatic and legal means. But it
should be above all in Ukraine’s own interest to ensure that these people’s rights
and interests and fully protected. This is the guarantee of Ukraine’s state stability
and territorial integrity.We want to be friends with Ukraine and we want Ukraine to
be a strong, sovereign and self-sufficient country. Ukraine is one of our biggest
partners after all. We have many joint projects and I believe in their success no
matter what the current difficulties. Most importantly, we want peace and harmony
to reign in Ukraine, and we are ready to work together with other countries to do everything possible to facilitate and support this. But as I said, only Ukraine’s own
people can put their own house in order.Residents of Crimea and the city of
Sevastopol, the whole of Russia admired your courage, dignity and bravery. It was
you who decided Crimea’s future. We were closer than ever over these days,
supporting each other. These were sincere feelings of solidarity. It is at historic
turning points such as these that a nation demonstrates its maturity and strength of
spirit. The Russian people showed this maturity and strength through their united
support for their compatriots.Russia’s foreign policy position on this matter drew its
firmness from the will of millions of our people, our national unity and the support of
our country’s main political and public forces. I want to thank everyone for this
patriotic spirit, everyone without exception. Now, we need to continue and maintain
this kind of consolidation so as to resolve the tasks our country faces on its road
ahead. Obviously, we will encounter external opposition, but this is a decision that
we need to make for ourselves. Are we ready to consistently defend our national
interests, or will we forever give in, retreat to who knows where? Some Western
politicians are already threatening us with not just sanctions but also the prospect
of increasingly serious problems on the domestic front. I would like to know what it
is they have in mind exactly: action by a fifth column, this disparate bunch of
‘national traitors’, or are they hoping to put us in a worsening social and economic
situation so as to provoke public discontent? We consider such statements
irresponsible and clearly aggressive in tone, and we will respond to them accordingly
. At the same time, we will never seek confrontation with our partners, whether in
the East or the West, but on the contrary, will do everything we can to build civilised
and good-neighbourly relations as one is supposed to in the modern world.
Colleagues,
I understand the people of Crimea, who put the question in the clearest possible
terms in the referendum: should Crimea be with Ukraine or with Russia? We can be
sure in saying that the authorities in Crimea and Sevastopol, the legislative
authorities, when they formulated the question, set aside group and political
interests and made the people’s fundamental interests alone the cornerstone of their
work. The particular historic, population, political and economic circumstances of
Crimea would have made any other proposed option only temporary and fragile and
would have inevitably led to further worsening of the situation there, which would
have had disastrous effects on people’s lives. The people of Crimea thus decided to
put the question in firm and uncompromising form, with no grey areas. The
referendum was fair and transparent, and the people of Crimea clearly and
convincingly expressed their will and stated that they want to be with Russia.Russia
will also have to make a difficult decision now, taking into account the various
domestic and external considerations. What do people here in Russia think? Here,
like in any democratic country, people have different points of view, but I want to
make the point that the absolute majority of our people clearly do support what is happening.The most recent public opinion surveys conducted here in Russia show
that 95 percent of people think that Russia should protect the interests of Russians
and members of other ethnic groups living in Crimea – 95 percent of our citizens.
More than 83 percent think that Russia should do this even if it will complicate our
relations with some other countries. A total of 86 percent of our people see Crimea
as still being Russian territory and part of our country’s lands. And one particularly important figure, which corresponds exactly with the result in Crimea’s referendum:
almost 92 percent of our people support Crimea’s reunification with Russia. Thus
we see that the overwhelming majority of people in Crimea and the absolute majority
of the Russian Federation’s people support the reunification of the Republic of
Crimea and the city of Sevastopol with Russia.Now this is a matter for Russia’s own political decision, and any decision here can be based only on the people’s will,
because the people is the ultimate source of all authority.Members of the Federation
Council, deputies of the State Duma, citizens of Russia, residents of Crimea and Sevastopol, today, in accordance with the people’s will, I submit to the Federal
Assembly a request to consider a Constitutional Law on the creation of two new
constituent entities within the Russian Federation: the Republic of Crimea and the
city of Sevastopol, and to ratify the treaty on admitting to the Russian Federation
Crimea and Sevastopol, which is already ready for signing. I stand assured of your
support.

中国西安出張 [ -China]
もか車と茶々車 [ -茶々もか(3年目)2014]
2014年3月初旬のベランダと甥っ子と猫 [Gardening]
3月に入って、
ペチュニア、去年の6月からずーーーーーと咲いているんですが、いいんでしょうか?
豪華できれいです。
レモンも収穫して はちみつレモンに。妹が風邪をひいたので、甥っ子に持たせました。
植えつけないとね
期末テストで、かなりいい点が取れました。
英語を教えている私としては、何より。
この嬉しそうな顔が一番のプレゼントかな。
いつものように今日のランチは、ピザをかってきていろいろともりつけて焼いたもの
フルーツのピザは、最後に焼いて
ブルーベリーをトッピング。
どれもこれもおいしかったです。
大満足w
そして、茶々もかも
甥っ子も風邪をひいていたので、お昼食べたら横になってゆっくり
女の子らしからぬ体勢ですが、、
何とかとりましたw
こんな休日は、最高ですね☆
