ihanat häät oli eilen mutta hääparin jo poistuttua paikalta ja bändin lopetettua, tuli joku sivumökistä huutamaan et "suomi sai ruotsilta täydet pisteet!" ja loppukonkkaronkka rynni sinne takkahuoneeseen. siellä oli meitä vieraita vielä n. 30 ja sellasesta sardiinipurkin kokoisesta telkkarista hihkuttiin pisteenlaskut loppuun. olihan siellä enempi ( Read more... )

Alkaa vuosi loppumahan ja vaikka kuinka opettajien lomista oltais kateellisia ni ONNEKS on pitkä sellainen edessä. Vaikkei kauheen raskasta henkisesti ole ollutkan ni hommaa ihan tarpeeksi eikä oikein vloppuina kaikesta pääse eroon ainakaan ajatuksen tasolla. Ja ihan kiva olla pari hetkeä niin, ettei tarvi seisoa hela tiden vähintään viidentoista ( Read more... )

We got our first hints of the lovely Engrish they speak in Japan after booking the hotel for the summer. It's not a luxury hotel in any way but quite fine since a friend's mother already slept there some weeks ago. What counts more now is the location, it's in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo, in one of the city "centers" if you can find such a thing ( Read more... )

I'm so glad to have three days off again :) . At this time of the year you can see that the pupils want to have a holiday someday too... The teachers as well! I still have 145 tests to go through in the next few weeks. One sixth class have already done "everything" important this year and we made a deal that we'll do something else in the last few ( Read more... )

Nothing terribly special has happened (well it never does)... except that I found out last Thursday I can work in the same school next year as well. The "real" teacher's husband has got a job for the next year in another city so they won't come back (yet). J already started to find out the options for a civil service starting this year. Since I'm ( Read more... )

Not that I'm terribly interested in the Eurovision song contest but finally the Finnish people have shown that they (or at least some of them) consider the whole competition as a joke. The Finnish representative 2006... Lordi. Jesus Christ what the f***?!

Well, at least they're different...

We surprised my parents on Friday by driving there without letting them know in advance. Well, I did call my mom some 30 km before her work place just to ask if she might get out of work any earlier (and could drive with us). The (driving) weather was great and we had our skis with us (which we also used on Saturday and it was great!). Both parents ( Read more... )

talkkari-isännöitsijä-mikälie soitti yli puol tuntia sitten ja lupas näyttää j:lle meiän pistokepaikan. se mikälie-setä varmaan on kidnapannu j:n ku ei se vielkää oo tullu takas... kuinka kauan autopaikan näyttämises voi kestää?

jack nyt.

I'm on holiday ;) . But I suppose I like my work a lot since holidays "just come" and I don't seem to wait for them like mad. I've cleaned up the house a bit, been to the hairdressers' and so on. I would like to ski more too but it's been rather cold here, again. Strange weather (I think they call it soon-to-be-spring) when the temperatute is -20 ( Read more... )
