Last week's droplets September 14 - September 20, 2026 Part II

We are surprised by something every day. We are happy or sad about something. Something makes us angry or something makes us laugh. It's life. And she is who she is. But last week, last week..

... IN THE REPUBLIC

“Shura, look what a wonderful thing you can make out of old broken skis.”

The droplets have traveled many roads in their lives and seen all sorts of signs. Sometimes these signs lead to where to go. Better not go.

Last week, IA "Respublika" with reference to the Kosomuksha sports school told about one very interesting object-indicator that appeared in the city of miners.

There was a sign made of old decommissioned skis! Having served his sports equipment is now nailed to the pole and it is marked with directions and distances to Moscow, Sochi, St. Petersburg, Vologda, Kazan, Belarus, Switzerland, Elbrus and other interesting cities, lands and states.

Now every athlete, looking at this pole, can dream of new peaks and imagine where his ski will lead. Here the "Drop" absolutely agree with this clarification. Sometimes the skis will lead you where you will not leave.

Created such an interesting index employee of the sports school Dmitry Ryshkevich for what from “Kapelek” he respect and low bow.

I remember the legendary carpenter, the master of building everything without a single nail, the peasant Nestor, having finished another work, grumbled: “Nothing goes away from skillful and kind hands.”.

And our Olesya... It's so hot in Serbia!

Heat Plus Forty Gradus, and to her - fragile Karelian beauty - a hundred meters with barriers to run... I ran through! How did you run!

Last week, a few days ago, literally, in Petrozavodsk school number three reported that their pupil at the open championship of Serbia in hemathlon glorified Karelia so that our republic will be remembered for a long time in the Balkans.

Olesya Barysheva, remember that name. Our girl took first place in heptathlon at the open championship of Serbia in the city of Kralevo in the group of juniors under twenty.

She did something incredible. First day. Yeah, heat: plus forty. Our Olesya ran a hundred meters with barriers in 14.57 seconds, jumped to a height of 172 centimeters, pushed the core of 11.40 meters, ran 200 meters in 25.67 seconds. The stands are cheering!

On the second day of the long jump - 5.65 meters, throwing a spear - 35 meters, and ran your favorite 800 meters in 2 minutes 31 seconds.

Olesya is beautiful!

Participants of the first in the history of the Olympic Games, which took place in 776 BC in Olympia, on the Peloponnese peninsula, wiping each other's sweat from their backs laughed: "Bold soul - beautiful appearance.".

IN CITY P

Why is Karelia not Japan and Petrozavodsk not Kyoto?

Twenty-five years ago, droplets in Kyoto sat in the ancient Japanese capital of Kyoto in the Garden of Stones and meditated. It was fun.

Last week, “Drips” from IA “Respublika” it became known that the real Garden of stones will soon appear in Petrozavodsk. The Japanese-Karelian contemplative miracle will appear in a few weeks in the historical park "Governor Garden" of the city of P.

What you can contemplate there has already been shown to the Head of Karelia Artur Parfenchikov and the senator from our republic Igor Zubarev by the organizers of the psychedelic territory from the Prionezh Mining Company.

In the Petrozavodsk Stone Garden there will be stone sculptures and a mysterious labyrinth. The stone garden projects impressed Arthur Olegovich so much that he reached the highest level of sincerity: “Very many childhood stories are connected with this place. It’s great that we’re going to put all this in order, it’s great. We will tell our children and grandchildren how it was and how it became.”.

The foundation of the garden has already been built. And there will be paths, and lights, and benches. And the trees will be kept nearby.

Once in the third century AD, the ancient Roman clever writer, scientist and even statesman Pliny the Elder wrote about stones on the earth: “As if the stars fell to the earth and froze in immutable forms.”.

Aircraft, passengers and mannequins

Imagine: you fly off on a beautiful airliner from Petrozavodsk, and you immediately see - once! - and the beautiful comes across. Or you fly to Petrozavodsk, go to the airport and then you meet such beauty. . It's not fiction, it's what we already have.

Last week, the Ministry of Economic Development of Karelia said that at the airport “Petrozavodsk” will meet and escort passengers. mannequins. Three have already installed and dressed them in costumes from the collection of our designer Maria Seliverstova. All this action in the building of the “air gate” of the city takes place within the framework of the national project “Effective and competitive economy”.

As art historians from the ministry assert, “Maria Seliverstova’s style is a dialogue of traditions and modernity.” In her collections, elegant classics are harmoniously combined with ethnic motifs, the spirit of freedom of the hippie style and expressive elements of luxury. How!

Old Russian couturiers once, having finished sewing another caftan, were condemned: “One outfit for a feast, and for the world, and for good people.”.

A DROP FROM ME

The fact that the alarm clock didn’t go off has already changed many human lives

Friends, as the saying goes. Because the alarm didn't go off -- or we didn't hear it -- someone was late. Someone didn't have time to do something... And we never think that such a small incident over the clock with a bell broke someone’s life, changed the fate of people. And in general, perhaps the world turned wrong because of an alarm clock that did not ring in time.

This brilliant phrase belongs to Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller. A woman who would have turned one hundred and thirty-six this week, September 15th. " Who is this Miller? someone will ask. "I don't know any Miller." You know, of course. You know her and almost all of her literary characters. Agatha Christie. Queen of the world detective.

By the way, if you think that the great Agatha valued her literary talent above all else, then you are mistaken. More than anything, she loved to do housework, dig in the garden and cook. Christie hated washing dishes: Washing dishes is the most idiotic thing in the world. But it is during the washing of dishes that great stories come to my mind.”.

The girl Agathu, who was born in 1890 in the English city of Torquay, Devon, was waiting for a difficult personal and literary life. In addition, she did not know how to place letters in words in the right order. But her imagination, amazing tenacity and incredible talent overcame everything. She kept going. By the way, she was well versed in poisons and it helped her to come up with incredible twists of her plots.

It was Agatha Christie who said, “If your dreams don’t come true, it’s much better to acknowledge it and move on instead of focusing on broken hopes and hopes.”.

Sixty-six world-famous novels – remember at least “Murder on the Orient Express”, “Ten Negroes”, “Murder in the alphabet”, “Death on the Nile” – fourteen collections of stories and plays. Among the plays, of course, the famous “Mousetrap”, which has been staged in London continuously since 1952. Four billion. This is a print run of her books. They are translated into more than a hundred languages of the world. Incredibly huge filmography. Her wonderful Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.

“Droplets” have repeatedly confessed their love for good detectives. But the work of Agatha Christie can not be measured by the category “I love – do not love”. It's just space. An infinite mystery - like her books - the cosmos.

Our great classic Leo Tolstoy seems to have written about it: “Talent I call ability: in verbal art it is easy to express your thoughts and impressions and notice and remember characteristic details.”.

Take care!
