My week was also marked by an important event: my partner, my three oldest children and my goddaughter came to visit. They arrived in Star City on Wednesday, and these three days with them have really brightened up my week.

The children found my small apartment and my little bicycle very funny! They were also fascinated by all the stages of my training and took the opportunity to visit the premises while they were in Star City.

We had some nice moments together as a family, including a spaghetti dinner at the cottage where my documentary crew is staying.

Yesterday, we arranged with our teacher for a simulation, in which we had to put on our fastened-up spacesuits. The children thought we looked like the Michelin man, which they found very amusing! They even sat in the Soyuz, and they just couldn’t take it all in!
