Wednesday is the best day of the week. Here's why: we only have a half day of classes, after which we head to the nearest Столовая* to fuel ourselves before traipsing off to our chosen cultural activity of the afternoon. In order to keep our interests varied, instead of a stroll through the grand rooms of the Hermitage, we sought out a small temporary Moomin exhibition in the State Library of Foreign Children's Literature.
Yes, I am aware of how incredibly unusual that combination of words is and it is one of the many reasons I am so fond of our Wednesday routine.
After reading aloud various excerpts in order to fully appreciate the Russian rhyming, we undertook some impromptu translation for the library staff and browsed through the library's extensive French children's books section. Very high brow indeed.

*A Столовая is a very typical Russian canteen where one can purchase an extremely satisfying and wholesome lunch for approx £3. Ah Mother Russia...
