Got home at 3am last night. The trip was pretty perfect and I shall tell you all about it once I’ve sorted through all the millions of pictures I took. Mum came over in the morning with a surprise birthday cake and flowers. Other than that I’ve just been unpacking + washing clothes and eaten a dinner prepared by Stu… Read More

So long suckers!

Can’t sleep. These kind of things… they have the tendency to remind you of how temporary this whole gig is. And how you should make more of an effort every day… more of an effort to live fully, to connect with people, to appreciate what you’ve got. Why does this kind of knowledge only last for such a brief moment… Read More

My mother’s best friend, also called Pirjo like her, passed away last night. She struggled with breast cancer and won the battle, after a full masectomy, a couple of years back. She was well for a time, but a little while ago she got ill again and found out the cancer had spread. She was preparing herself for another fight… Read More

Tomorrow night we’re driving to Tampere for the Suzanne Vega concert (and yeah she is still good even if some of you people haven’t heard… Read More

I’ve finally got new hair. 😀 Whee. You can see the colour better here. It’s not short short but definitely a lot shorter, which is lovely in this heat. My god the hairdresser’s was an endurance test though, their air conditioning was broken and sitting under a plastic cape on a plastic chair for two hours was NOT fun. 😐… Read More

So, erm… went to pick up the car from servicing… and came home with a new one. 😀 Well, it wasn’t quite that straightforward – we did spend most of the day at the dealership trying to get the price right. Ohh but it’s so nice though. Already drove to mum’s (to show it off) and boy does it feel… Read More

Did you know it’s actually incredibly hard to try to take pictures of your own sunbu… tan. 😛 And it doesn’t even look so… glorious anymore. It was so very bad (and painful) on Sunday night. But now, just as I was thinking that I was turning more brown than bright red, the skin has started peeling off. 😮 And… Read More
