Luxury lunch with the sis

Week ago, before she left, we had a lovely lunch together. Long talks, good fish and mashed potatoes. 

Marimekko F/W 2012

I went yesterday into the forest. Marimekko had their Fall/ Winter 2012 Fashion show in Helsinki. The atmosphere was amazing and maybe there were couple of garments I could imagine to wear.

Reward

I got this award from my dear friend Pyjama. The idea is to do these little tasks:

1. Tell from whom you got the award

2. Tell 5 facts about yourself

3. Give this award to 5 blogs/ bloggers.

My five random facts:

1. I've lived most of my life on an island.

2. I know how to milk the cows.

3. I don't eat meat.

4. I am very sensitive: when I get angry, I start to cry. 

5. I hate liars.

I'd like to give this award to La Mie Kwet, Lady Dada, Tubbs, Virpi and Fine van Brooklin. 

Waiting for free waters

Talents

Go and check this web documentary online. There are couple of my friends involved in this. 


I just love it. 

If I can ever give any advice

My advice to you is that never buy an apartment, where is coming a pipe renovation. 


Never ever.

Elixir

My Sunday starts with the Vietnamese instant coffee. And with the film I thought I finished already last night, but somehow I woke up, when the closing title jumped on the screen.

Helsinki - the longest 6 weeks ahead

Now I'm back in Helsinki and at work, but not in my own home. We are having the nerve-breaking pipe renovation going on and we can't live in our own home. So, our shelter or bat-cave (as J calls it) is our home for the next six weeks. The neighborhood is lovely: sea, nice cafes and restaurants.. short way to the centre. 

I guess this is the time I will start swimming "seriously" again.

Long weekend in London

Now my traveling for awhile has been done. I spent the last weekend in London with my friend and also I was lucky to meet my sister there. It was lovely and relaxing. We walked, ate and slept a lot.

The best thing was that there was already Spring. Something, what I'm missing here in Helsinki now.

Casual working day

I'm back in Finland. China and London are far behind and normal workdays ahead. This card was waiting for me here, isn't it funny!
