I had a nice project:
Making a bunch of these colorful cans into more muted colored ones. And I think I did a pretty good job, as you can see :)
Thanks to blogger I got this idea!
We went on a bike trip in Helsinki:
A visit at the movie theater (morning movie is a lot cheaper for students).Lunch at Sundmans Krog, bicycling in Suvilahti, a ride with the elevator to the Olympic stadium's tower, minigolf (which I won), and some fooling around in Sibelius park.
A bad tasting dinner at a Chinese restaurant, some sitting and watching the sunset in Hietsu, and a visit at my work place for glasses of my favorite wine and a dessert.
And that was just one day. We also went to Imatra Big Band Festivals opening, visited our summer place, went for Kotka's Meripäivät.
My summer has been pretty much just working, but I don't mind. I've seen my friends, family, cousins (I forgot to mention a nice picnic in Suomenlinna with cousins and my brother and his girlfriend), washed laundry, cooked and have done just normal everyday-life things.
A day off from work. Grocery shopping (boring). Today I just didn't like to go to the store and buy groceries, but I had to. You compare the prices and have no idea what to cook as you forgot the list at home. Not fun. Frustration is the feeling. You ride the bike home with the shopping bag hitting on your bike, it annoys you. Few more meters until home. Then you have to take all the stuff from the shopping bags and organize them nicely in the fridge (as there isn't much space).
A hotel and flight reservation for two at the end of October - here we come Malta!
I have a problem with my heel. I saw the doctor after a week of pain in the heel. Doctor's order was to use high-heeled shoes and eat medicine. I got a good reason to go and buy new shoes. :) It has bothered me, but I know that I need time and patience with it. Resting. Resting and more resting. I know. But I still had the urge to go to Prisma again to buy some spray paint for the last can. And I realized that I'm missing an electronic mixer for baking, so I bought that also. It's time for baking!
We picked up some black currants from my boyfriend's mom's backyard and now I'm planning to make a pie!
I took a bus to Prisma and back. An old man asked me in the bus: "How are you?" I found it a bit awkward but answered him that I'm okay. After that he left. I don't know why someone would just ask a simple question like that and then turn away. I think it tells how mysterious life can be. If you imagine life as being build up with small mysteries, you realize that you, a person, are a tiny influence to the mysteries happening in your life.
