The cottage weekend was nice and the weather showed its best side to us :) . I finally swam in the lake nearby (but after sauna again) and the water was warmer than I thought. Even J managed to dip himself although he usually won't do it if the water's not +24 or something ( Read more... )

Gee, I've got the test lenses now and they feel strange. Not in a bad way but it's just weird to see without glasses. The optician was very helpful and taught me carefully how to put them on and especially how to get them off. He said they won't let anyone walk out if they can't take the lenses off first :) . And he adviced me to start taking them ( Read more... )

J's friend said last week quite well that people go to Pori Jazz to listen to music they normally don't listen to at home... I have to agree. The day was quite nice though: lunch was great and even the "older" people (i.e. J's parenst, hahah!) were in a good mood. It was also nice to be in Kirjurinluoto, since I've never been there before. There ( Read more... )

This weekend will be mostly spent in Pori. I think I haven't been there since 1986 or something but haven't missed it either :) . We'll drive to Tampere to J's brother today and leave early tomorrow to Pori so that we won't miss the birthday lunch the uncle has planned. After the lunch we'll head for Kirjurinluoto where we'll spend the day. I hope ( Read more... )

I got the Da Vinci Code yesterday from J's brother. He and his girlfriend have both read it already. And I've heard it from so many but I still have to agree: for a long long time it seems to be a book I can't stop reading ( Read more... )

"Hello, my name is Bush, Bush the Button".

meillä ei siis ole pesukonetta. kohta on jos alakerran meno jatkuu. kone siellä on aivan loistava mutta sen kolikkomasiinan kanssa saa pelata flipperiä joka ikunen kerta. se on siis rikki. setä talossa vaan selittää, että se on vain tukossa pesuaineesta, jota kulkeutuu sinne kolikoiden (ja sormien mukana). jaa mitenkähän se on mahdollista? setä ( Read more... )

The guests left yesterday and we had fun :) . I hope they did too. It hasn't rained here much, only a bit on Friday but otherwise the weather couldn't have been better ( Read more... )

In general: the trip was nice and nothing bad happened, we didn't lose anything and were able to sleep quite well everywhere ( Read more... )

We're back but I'll write a better entry later today when J is playing tennis. Now it's cleaning-up-the-house-time...
