Eternal Memory

Yuriy Magera was a musician and arranger. For more than 30 years, he worked in the field of culture in the Kostyantyniv community in Donetsk region.

He was talented, bright and charismatic. He always smiled, loved to joke.

"Yuriy Petrovych knew how to transform sounds into living emotions, giving joy and inspiration. His music was an echo of his soul - big, open, full of love. Happy moments come to life in memories: rehearsals, conversations, recordings in the studio," said colleague Kristina Vasyliuk.

Yuriy died in Kostyantynivka on September 5, 2024, when he was hit by a Russian projectile. The man was 74 years old.

"We have lost a friend who knew how to give light even in the darkest times. A mentor who could see talent," added Kristina Vasyliuk.

Yesterday I got a bit done on the woodpile. I want 40 banana boxes in my shed and 20 in the house by winter. I don't use the wood stove all winter. Spring and fall plus if the temperatures drop to around 0⁰. The rest of the time I prefer the wood furnace. Load it at 9PM and again at 9AM. And not much splitting. Everything 12 inch diameter or smaller just gets pitched in.

I switched to long pants yesterday. Sammie has interesting habits. The came along when I first sat down, but declined an invite to my lap. I noticed she had a few burrs. She went off and cleaned herself. Then she hopped up.

Good morning Resisters. Started the morning at 49⁰. They say we have a hurricane coming. As far as we are from the coast, it just gives us torrential rain.
