Summary: | Conversation with Tyotya Zoya in her cabin. We drink tea the first part. She tells a story starting about 17:00 or a little after. Mics were set on wide. Valya was on my right, sitting on the bed and Zoya mostly in front of me, a little to the left. The stove is to the left. The channels were switched from original. The rustling noise is Omrilkota sliding her tarbaza along the floor. It has a seal skin sole and the floor is wood. I noticed that half of it has real wood flooring. Not sure if it is oak, but impressive. Her sons took and take care of her.
