Today began at 1:20 a.m. with an air raid siren. I sat in the shelter and thought, “Damn, today at 4:50 a.m. we’re going on duty in the kitchen…” Today was a tough day. We worked in the kitchen from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m… At the end, we were barely able to finish what was left to do. And now I’m sitting under the starry night sky, after a shower, and listening to the crickets with pleasure.
