I have to confess, some British accents are hard for foreigners' comprehension (especially Russians' comprehension). When i hear people from different parts of the UK speaking,- i can't identify it as just "British accent", but i hear a whole diversity of accents, which is confusing, and some of them are more difficult for perception than others. (It's fair enough for some American accents too). Like i said previously, NZ accent(s) is/are the most comprehensible for ME, because, deep inside, it/they has/have some subtle traits similar to Petersburgian accent. Anyway, i'm trying to listen to British English as well and get used to it a little bit.
(Quite a beautiful video of aerial footages of Vladivostok,- the entire video is very pretty, but the second half is really stunning). Btw, my dad was born in Vladivostok, but they moved when he was 1y.o., because my grandpa Milya (another grandpa) was a military man, and he was sent to SPb, where he worked as a cop until retirement. Granny Nadya was a cop too, and cops are paid a little better in SPb, plus they had a baby (my dad) on their hands,- then the second baby was born.
OMG! This is the cutest fluffy ball i've seen in a long time!
Who is he? (have i missed something?)
My daughter has been waiting for a puppy for over a year. The last puppy she was supposed to get got sick, unexpectedly, and his brother turned out to not be a good match for a family with young children. So they went home empty handed. That was back in February. But this little guy is turning out to be perfect so they will be going to pick him up in two weeks! It’s pretty exciting even though I probably won’t see him much because we will still be social distancing.OMG! This is the cutest fluffy ball i've seen in a long time!
Maybe you do walks?
Yikes that would have made me nervous too...getting lost, even semi lost.
. I've been meaning to, had bought new scissors, but it was looking kinda cute - sometimes- when I just cut the back last week. But not often enough, and mostly when I used my sons gel after shampooing.

And this is for you.
Vladivostok (city & nature):
That is so interesting that you mentioned San Francisco, because they call it "Russian San Francisco"!!! (Honestly, i saw it).
The same is fair enough for NZ accent.

Aaand... i would never get mixed over Australian accent and NZ accent(s) (Australian sounds super distinctive to me).
Thanks a lot for reminding me! I watched a documentary about it a long time ago, but i remember close to nothing. It was interesting to read about it in that state of mind in which i am now. So ...i switched the article to russian language and quickly read it, because it's 4.52 a.m. here, and reading it in English would have taken me too much time, hehehe.North of San Francisco is Fort Ross. It was a Russian Fort in the 1800s. I was there once and I thought it was scenic and interesting.
Fort Ross, California - Wikipedia

It said that the history of the fortress found its reflection in a couple films, but i'll probably find something more "fresh" about it and watch to fill my leisure.
