Hello Everyone! Today I will continue to tell you about Norse mythology. I will tell you about my favorite gods from this mythology.    Ymir - in Norse mythology, the first living being, the great giant, who emerged from the warm water in the abyss of  Ginnungagap .

I had to learn her schedule for the day when everything was happening at specific times, I had to remember to give her the right medicine at the right time.   Unfortunately, Lina was not very talkative, she was too weak to go out for walks, so we spent the whole day sitting at home. In the evenings when it got colder we sat together on the balcony, I often wrote letters or read and she looked into ...
