Haggis and Whisky

Going to Edinburgh today, back on Friday. Heard the train ride is supposed to be really neat.

Ladybird of Luck

It appears to be ladybird season right now. I saw several while cleaning the clothes line in our backyard, with all kinds of dot combinations. I wonder if they consider it beautiful to have super many or super few dots. Or maybe something in between, or a certain amount. would that amount be six, as the amount of their legs or seven for the days of the week?

Sweet, Damp Home

We survived! The trip went really well, except for very minor misshaps, such as having to wait for our luggage for some time, and the traditional welcome to England rain. After moving a mountain of mail, we found ourselves in the house. It was cozily redecorated by spiders (i.e. cobwebs in the strangest of places), but otherwise pretty much as we left it. A really nice surprise is a leaking kitchen tap. Not leaking in the drip drip sense, but in the I'M BLEEDING TO DEATH (meaning water gushes out from all the wrong places when you turn it on) sense.

Now the exciting question is: can we get it fixed before going to Edinburgh the day after tomorrow?

Fiuuuuuu!

Going back to England today. Hopefully all goes well and we'll all be whole and well and arrive in Canterbury in a timely manner.


And check out my new red boots! Cool huh?

Summerummerummer

Look, I have a blog! I've been in Finland for exactly one month today. This blog will probably be more or less hibernating during that time, due to me working, seeing people, enjoying the summer and so on.

Thanks for putting up with me though it's been slow on this front. Sometimes it's hard to find balance when a new daily project comes into the picture. Sometimes it just feels as if nothing particularily interesting happens, apart from saturday meals I forget to take pictures of because I'm too busy eating them. (:

Anyway, have a great summer, you. Unless anything really cool happens, and I realize I could write about it, I'll post again in September.

Tomorrow

Flying to Finland tomorrow morning, just letting you know that I won't be reachable by my English number until the middle of September. For you Finns out there: See you soon! :D

Still kicking!

Last couple of weeks just have been crazy and riddled with deadlines, visitors, trips and other whatnots. Maybe I'll be able to pull myself together and write something longer than four sentences after tomorrow's last deadline.

Until then - Cheerio!
