Dear friends speaking English, this is an home-made blog. I have no money to pay a professional translator, so I write English post by myself and – as you can see – I can’t write English language very well. So you can find a lot of mistakes in the articles: I beg your pardon. My English language level is: F(unny)! Will you pardon me?
