Kino-horoscope in full

From the writer's own website (and, by the look of it, from his 1999 autobiography): https://www.smekhov.narod.ru/Athos/finalm.html

I haven't attempted to do more than skim the chapter, but it appears to contain a complete transcript of the Athos poem, something I've been diligently chasing ever since I discovered there was a *longer* version, heard recited on stage but minus helpful subtitles...

(Pointless, I know, but I was really curious to find out what it said!)


Flower update: we have the first mesembryanthemum, the first feverfew (after two years) and the first marigold. The sweet peas are proving a great success, being a beautiful dark purple and sufficiently scented -- and sufficiently high off the ground -- to actually produce a noticeable perfume on the air without having to be sniffed at extreme close quarters :-)
