Day: July 6, 2015

The last few days have been pretty full. And as we like to say – unexpected situations are quite expected. This applies twice as much in Georgia, and as some of you may have heard, a really huge flood struck Tbilisi few weeks ago. The flood caused at least 30 casualties and half of the animals in the Tbilisi Zoo ended up either dead or on the loose. The last missing tiger has been found dead on Sunday, which means there should be no more escaped animals in the city. Since we are staying next to the bank of Vera River, we can see the damages, as well as the volunteers and military cleaning the debris on daily basis.

I tried to kill myself in the early months of this year

I didn’t then and still don’t now, realise the full magnitude of that decision. But if you asked me what happened, I could clearly tell you the voice of the man on the emergency line and the first words I uttered  to the medic. In fact, it went like this:

Him: “What are you doing out here, mate?”

Me: “Oh, you know – the usual.”

Seriously? Did I seriously say that? At 3 in the morning, in a short-sleeved top and yoga pants, I had the decency to crack a joke?

As much as I could tell you what happened that night and on the ride to the hospital, I couldn’t for my life…
