Mä istuskelen just Helsinki-Vantaa lentokentällä ja odottelen lennon lähtöä. Lähtöselvityksen matkalaukkuhihnasto on viime yönä vaihdettu uuteen eikä uusi hihnasto toimi laisinkaan, joten kaikki matkalaukut odottavat isossa pinossa lähtöselvitystiskien vieressä. Se siis siitä, että oma matkalaukku ennättäisi lennolle. Täytynee siis ostaa uusi laukku paikan päältä, sillä koko Leedsissä käynnin idea oli tuoda tavaraa pois. No, sattuuhan näitä. Laskutamme sitten Finnairia jälkikäteen.
Eilinen päivä meni asunnon seinien maalauksessa ja sain jo keittiön ja eteisen kokonaan valmiiksi. Keittiön seinät jouduin maalaamaan neljä kertaa ja eteisen kolme. Edessä on siis vielä olohuone että makuuhuone. Maalasin vieläpä niin innokkaasti, että sain rakot oikeaan käteen :D

Wil Freeborn and Stuart Kerr: Drawings
I came across Wil and Stuart's website by accident and was immediately drawn into their drawings and watercolour sketch works. In fact, these guys are having an art exhibition in Glasgow this summer. Unfortunately, I cannot visit the exhibition myself, but people in Glasgow or planning to go there before 16th of June should definitely check it out.

Se olis huomenna sitten viimeinen koe tiedossa. Sitten se on neljä vuotta siinä. Uskomatonta. Neljä vuotta! Toisaalta tuntuu siltä, kun se miloin lähdin Englantiin oli vain vähän aikaa sitten ja toisaalta kun ajattelee mitä kaikkea näihin neljään vuoteen on mahtunut. Ush. Aika mieletöntä :)
Tänään käytiin Yorkin Designer Outletissa viettämässä shoppailupäivä sen kunniaksi, että koulu on melkein ohitse. Tein varmasti paikan päällä myös vuoden fiksuimmat ja ostin sen kauan kuolaamani Villeroy&Bochin salaattikulhon. En vain voinut olla pitämättä näppejäni erossa siitä. Hikoillaan sitten sen ehjänä pysymisestä myöhemmin. Oon jo vähän aikaa silmäillyt Ray Banin aviatorseja, mutta koska jokikisellä vastaan -ja sivulta tulevalta löytyy jo nenällä keikkumassa pari, ostin itselleni Fossilen aviatorsit. Varsinainen erilainen nuori puhuu täällä.

I had the most amazing evening snack just ten minutes ago. I made a little rye bread and had a few slices of that with butter. Can't wait to have rye bread at home on regular basis! Yes you carb haters, you read it right. I cannot wait to have rye bread in the house :D
I also saw the funniest thing in the kitchen today. Charlie was spooning half of a water melon out of a deep cereal bowl. He had put the melon inside the bowl, the fruit side upwards of course, and was literally spooning it out from the shelf. Genious, I say!

I had a heureka moment at 2.30am last night. I found a solution to my hideous bathroom to be problem. I'm going to paint the tiles over with ceramic bathroom tile paint and then polish the tile grouts with a special pen. The colour is now dark peach (goose bumps and shivers down the spine in a bad way!) and it is just upsetting :) However, there is a large-scale water pipe renovation coming up within a year's time so replacing the tiles now is not an option.
The bathroom itself is small anyway so I hope that by painting the tiles white would create an illusion of a bigger space. The bathroom also lacks storaging space, so I hope that by putting a few wooden shelves on the wall solves that problem temperarily and by hanging a few towels on display will make the whole bathroom appear softer. Fingers crossed :)

I think it is just silly to throw something away only because it is too old or is out of date. I'm a big believer in taking care after your things (regardless what they might be) and I believe that it is always a good idea to try to fix something first if it breaks down. If you can't do it yourself, it doesn't mean that it gives you a permission to get rid of it. Oh no :) I passionately hate it when people chuck things away without giving it a second thought. I mean, if you have something that cannot be fixed and repaired anymore or repairing itself would cost considerably more than a new one then fair enough, take your clothes, furniture, books etc. to a recycling centre. But do not bin anything that might help someone else!
Right, so now I can get to my actual point: I'd like to get an old reading chair upholstered. I'm moving flats this summer and I'm trying to reuse and adopt as many old items as possible. I have a long list of things that I need to get and I don't see the point of buying everything new. I'm very aware of the fact that for instance upholstering that old reading chair would cost me a lot of money, but having it done and having the chair there with me would be amazing. I'd love it. So now we shall see how low I can in reality bargain the price down.

Mä varasin itselleni just ajan Dermalogica kasvoanalyysiin että ihonpuhdistukseen maanantaille. Mulla on alkanut viimeisen vuoden aikana tulla ihan kamalasti epäpuhtautta leuan alueelle, joka näkyy tietenkin myös ulospäin. Katsotaan mitä mun dermalogical therapist sanoo ja mitä mulle mahdetaan siellä määrätä :)

I decided to reward myself for achieving a particular goal despite setbacks. Thus, I finally ordered myself a pair of black leather Tory Burch flats <3
Also, Redken hair care products were on sale, how convenient I thought, and added two shampoos and conditioners in the shopping basket too.
