We came home yesterday and were very tired after staying awake for about 24 hours. Too bad the renovation people started drilling something here at 7.30 a.m. today and continued doing that for 10 hours. So, I'm still tired. perhaps next night (or morning) will be better ( Read more... )

Duka din veranda till fest, för en långväga gäst
I landet lagom är bäst
Vi skålar för en midsommar till
färsk potatis och sill
Som om tiden stått still

Happy Midsummer everyone! There is always something magical about it, although I'm never a huge fan of big national holidays (except for Christmas...). Last Midsummer we were bathing near Tokyo in ( Read more... )

Mikä riivaa tieliikennettä ja autoilijoita Suomessa??? Ei tunnu menevän päivää, ettei jossain kolahda ja pahasti. En kohta enää autolla kulje minnekään. Jos itseensä luottaa ja menee oikeesti sääntöjen mukaan, ei paljon auta, kun ihan kaikki vastaantulijat ei näin tunnu tekevän...

Last week I spent some days at my parent's cleaning up my old closets... Oh dear, at least two big garbage bags were filled with stuff I didn't consider saving anymore. How weird, I have no idea why I thought it was wise to save them 10 years ago :) . Not all of the memories were thrown away though, there are still quite a lot of things which I ( Read more... )

Back to the 80's ja voi jeesus. Paavo paukapää ja Ilkka irstailija ministereinä taas...! Taidetaan muuttaa Suomesta ja tulla takas seuraavalle vaalikaudelle... ;( . Ihan tosissaan hävettää, eikö sitä Patea ois voinu kerrankin kunnolla näpäyttää ja jättää koko touhun ulkopuolelle. APUA.

I think I've said this before but I suppose I kind of like my work since I'm never too desperately waiting for the holidays and the end of the holiday doesn't make me cry either.

J didn't have any holiday so I went to Tampere for a few days on my own. Went to my "old" (the best) hairdresser, spent the night at friends and met another friend and ( Read more... )

We didn't see enough of Japan last year so we decided to buy tickets for Tokyo again... This time we'll fly directly there (no need to go to Nagoya now) and make another trip from there to somewhere. We might ask our Japanese teacher for advice. We'll be gone right after Midsummer and stay 11 days there (plus almost 2 days traveling). And... the ( Read more... )

At first we had no winter, now we have too much of it. This morning -36 celcius degrees. But it's only a matter of clothing, I should say. I didn't even feel cold in the morning when I was waiting for my colleague to pick me up. 3 warm pants and 2 shirts and a heavyheavy (Michelin-man) jacket. Everything was just fine. But I can't say that I ( Read more... )

Maybe it's the Finnish Idols that makes me live again (here in LJ) or the spring... but I'm still here. No special big things have happened, life is just the same, I guess ( Read more... )
