I'm starting to realize that I don't have much time left here at all before flying away.
Woooooo. . .
I came up with one more thing for The Wishlist: A wall calendar would be quite nice to have.
It's raining outside, quite cozy. We watched Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, I think it was okay and that he has an important point, but living in England has made me posh, so I couldn't help but hear his southern state accent. Oh well.

The Wishlist (updated!!!):
Essential, serious stuff:
Stick blender
Stavmixer
Sauvasekoitin
Won't need that many of them, I hope.Crisp rye-breadSurskorpor
Hapankorppuja
You simply can't find essentials like this in the UKMoneyPengarRahaa Quite essential.BicycleCykelPolkupyörä Might be best to give me money for this one. Quite difficult to ship.
Can opener
Konservöppnare
Purkinavaaja
The normal, sane, cheap version. I'm sorry Brits, but you've got this all wrong.

Cash
Fyrk
Mammonaa
I can't stress this enough.Money for artist's materials (going to order markers online)Pengar för konstnärsmaterial (tänker beställa tuscher på nätet)Raha taiteilijantarvikkeita varten (tilaan netin kautta) For messing around on paper.
Nice, sharp, big kitchen knife
Trevlig, vass stor kökskniv (eller förskärare)
Mukava, terävä, iso keittiöveitsi
Needn't be that fancy, but preferably one that actually functions properly.
The set of knives we bought isn't the best thing that has happened to us.
The knives are whetted so that the edge is askew, in a way we're not used to have knives,
so we find them really hard to use. What I'm trying to say is that in order to
cut something straight, you have to hold the knife at a strange angle.
We don't like that. The big knife from the set is impossible to cut harder things,
such as potatoes or carrots with.
Small, handy external hard driveLiten, praktisk extern hårdskiva
Pieni ja näppärä ulkoinen kovalevy

to fill the fridge with nice expensive stuff such as cheese, meat, cake,
chocolate pudding, cheese, meat and pastries.
No pressure.(Of course it would be nice to show other parts of the house also.
If lucky, I might even show something else than the supermarkets over here!)
