🇬🇪💔 Georgian football player Khvicha Kvartskhelia again became one of the best players of the tour in the Italian Serie A and paid tribute to the memory of the girl who died in Tbilisi.

He went to the match of his club Napoli with a bandage on which was the innoscription "Marita" and an infinity sign, in memory of 13-year-old Marita Meparishvili, who died from an electric shock in a fountain in Tbilisi. The player dedicated an Instagram post to her: “This day was for you, little Georgian hero ❤️🕊.”
⚽️ Napoli won 3-2 and secured the first place of the Italian championship.
“Kvaratskhelia is a genius, and he paints frescoes similar to Michelangelo. He laughs at his opponents with dizzying movements,” wrote the influential Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

🕯🧯Georgian officials urged the public to ensure the safety of their heating devices in anticipation of the incoming winter season across the country.

“With the onset of cold weather, everyone should check their heater before turning it on. There is still a risk that gas equipment may not be properly installed in a residential area. This is a safety culture rule that is useful to introduce into our lives,” Energy Ombudsman Salome Vardiashvili said and reminded residents that checking gas equipment is free for them.

☎️ You can call the employees of Tbilisi Energy by number +995322404004. Residents of other regions should contact local gas distribution companies.

🐶 Georgia intends to ban breeding of some dogs, and the right to walk dogs of certain breeds can only be given to persons over 16 years old.

Work on the bill has already begun. A list of dogs of aggressive breeds will be created, and if Parliament passes the bill, the import of such breeds into the country will be prohibited. Authorities are also considering criminalizing owners of dogs that have harmed a person.
❗️A new round of discussion began after several tragic incidents in the country. On October 15, a pit bull attacked passers-by in the center of Rustavi. Four people were injured. They were taken to the hospital with wounds. At the end of September, another dog of a fighting breed attacked three people in the Varketili district of Tbilisi. Earlier, another pit bull terrier bit a 9-year-old child in a suburb of the capital.

🌨 It is mid-autumn in Georgia, and snowfalls have already begun in the mountainous areas.

Eyewitnesses reported a couple of weeks ago that it was already snowing in Gomis Mta and Svaneti, and these days it began to remind more and more in some parts of the country that "winter is coming." The video shows snowfall in the north-east of the country, in Khevsureti, and the photos were taken in the mountains of Gudauri. In most regions, the forecast for October is favorable, sub-zero temperatures will be rare and not for long, but from November it is already worth preparing warm clothes and winter tires for the car.
🚘 It's up to you to put special tires or not. I “change shoes” and prefer winter tires, as we like to travel as a family around Georgia in Gudauri, Bakuriani or Svaneti, and there is nothing to do without it. Whoever is planning a trip through Upper Lars in the coming weeks, I advise you to carefully watch the weather forecast and navigate according to it. Most likely, you will calmly drive through the pass in October on the “summer” tires, but from November you need to be more prepared.
ℹ️ I will have the fifth winter in Georgia and, in general, the winter in Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi offers the comfortable temperature from +5 to +15. Snow rarely falls in most regions and melts quickly. This, of course, does not apply to the mountains. A ski season in Bakuriani, Gudauri, Svaneti and Gorderzi usually begins on December 15-25.
