Morning! It is Friday Friday Friday again!

A friend is holding a party tonight so I made something to bring with me; a quiche lorraine. The quiche looked really nice, I don't know about the taste yet, but I'm sure we shall see (or taste) about that in the evening :) Yeah food poisoning everyone, that's the way forward -and probably the last time I get an invitation to any get-together. Oh well, such us life.


What else? Yesterday evening our lovely, helpful downstairs janitor brought light into my kitchen -literally. I was trying to fix up a ceiling lamp myself  (with the help of an instruction leaflet). Everything went really well until I got on the page 14 "connecting electrical ground wires" I was staring at the black and white guidebook in front of me and I had six rainbow-coloured wires hanging from the ceiling. Great. So I phoned the janitor and asked if he knew how to do electrical installation work and if he'd have time to come up and take a look.   Two hours later, he rang the doorbell and everything was done in 10minutes. So yes, now I can actually see what I'm doing in the kitchen after it gets dark outside and that's probably why I was in a mood for cooking all of a sudden and made that quiche :) The janitor also promised to come back on Monday and hang a heavy wooden shelf on the kitchen wall. He is a star. 


Now, off for a run!

Tässä pitäisi päättää millaiset baarituolit ostaisi tuonne keittiöön. Tällaisia olen vähän ihastellut :)

Kello on vähän yli seitsemän aamulla ja aurinko paistaa. Kahvinkeitin purputtaa aamukahvia ja minä voin pahoin. Kyse ei siis ole aamupahoinvoinnista vaan ihan vain jokin sortin pöpöstä, joten nyt on parampi jäädä kotiin.

Tosi harmi, että näin pääsi käymään nimenomana tänään, koska mulla olisi ollut illalla töiden jälkeen jalkahoito ja sitten on sopinut, että näen kaverin tämän jälkeen. No ei mahda mitään, täytyy vain siirtää.

Mulla on uusi polkupyörä ja tänään tuli testauttua, että sillä pääsee tosi lujaa! Mun vanha pyörä sanoi adjöt, joten uuden fillarin osto olisi ollut edessä ennemmin tai myöhemmin. Tää mun uusi kaunokki on ihan perusfillari, 7 vaihdetta, käsi-ja jalkajarrut, tarakka ja lokasuojat. Tästä ei kyllä pyörä varmasti enää polkupyörämäisemmaksi muutu ja hyvä niin. Tärkeintä on että pääsee kätevästi paikasta toiseen ja kaikki pelittää niinkun pitääkin. Nyt täytyy vielä ivestoida kypärään -sattuneesta syystä ;)

What has my week been like?

Hey lovelies, I thought to tell you about my week. It has been rather hectic, but I have enjoyed every single day. You know, speaking on enjoining your days, I do have to say that after experiencing tremendously hard time for ten months without a break, this summer has felt like dancing on rose petals. It has been just so great because it hasn't been about sorrow or sadness. I mean, obviously, each day has goods and bads in it, but at the same time, once you have gone through difficult times and managed to get over them, positive things in your life just taste extra sweet. You appreciate them so much more. Maybe it is partly because the hardship is still fresh in your memory and you know that things could be a lot worse. And maybe it is because you have an attitude that this time around only good things are going to happened to you and there is really nothing that could stop them coming along in the future too. Ok, but that's that. I just felt like saying: thank you.


On Monday, I had an amazingly good dermalogica facial at Elegia Day Spa. The dermatologist who did it was really funny, but very professional. Yeah, she was just truly wonderful and knew what she was doing. I even had to ask her to write her name at the back of the Spa's business card, because she was so good. So then I got myself a personal dermatologist :) Great!

 

On Tuesday I had a really good aerobic class. I was aching for the rest of the week because of this! Loved it!
And also probably needed it as much as I loved it,  due to a week's break from doing anything. However, I had a good reason for it. I was in the UK ;)

On Wednesday I had a sleepover at a friend's house. We made good food and had a little bit of wine (and sparking wine too). I made mozzarella parma ham salad and mushroom risotto. Delicious.

Thursday, I had a yoga lesson after work. It was so relaxed and I felt good and energetic afterwards. Then saw another friend for a quick dinner just before we went to see a Finnish film called Vares.

On Friday I saw a third friend who I hadn't seen for almost a year. Three hours flew by in a blink of an eye, and after four glasses of wine and two empty salad plates we agreed to have a weekly Friday club from now on until the rest of this year. Ah, thank you darling, having a chat with you was just what I had needed.

Saturday, during the day I checked out a few outlets and later had the world's worst sushi for lunch. Everything in it was just wrong. I also managed to spill soy sauce on my beige trousers. Great. I was not impressed, I can tell you that :) In the evening I had the week's second sleepover. I love sleeping over at someone's as much as I like having someone sleeping over at mine's. It is just something that people don't do that much anymore, and I think people should. It is definitely worth it. Also, watched a film called Win-Win yesterday evening.

Statement necklaces with pearls, I've been eyeing on these beauties for a while..

Moves Like Jagger -happy autumn

Noniin eiköhän jatketa taas bloggailua kesäloman jäljiltä!
Tän tahtiin nyt siis murut!

I love weekend mornings. I always have. So far my Saturday morning has been fantastic, even though I have been awake for an hour or so. Maybe that's why ;)

I woke up at 6.30am at first, but since today and tomorrow I can officially sleep longer than during the week, I went back to sleep. I have noticed that during the week I sleep too little. I get only 6,5 or 7hours a night and to my that is not enough. Too little sleep makes me wake up really tired in the mornings and I feel that I need to have a lot of coffee within the next two hours in order to get a day started. And that is not good in a long term. I think people should always try to take care after themselves the best possible manner - physically and mentally.

So during the weekends I easily have 8 to 9,5 hours a night. And that feels pretty fantastic.

I put both yesterday and today's HS on a living room table, carried breakfast on a tray to the living room too and made myself a comfortable little nest on the sofa. Loving my life so much at the moment<3

I wouldn't mind a bit of rain now. It's been so humid over the past week or so. The skies have been changing from dark to sunny all the time and yeah, rain, please.

In fact, a proper thunderstorm followed by a heavy rain would be amazing now. I'd just unplug the TV and read something in the bed. That would ace! Yeah, I reckon I really chose well to live in England, as I'm asking for rain :)

But on the other hand, in England, you hardly ever get proper thunderstorms. You do get different types of rain for sure. Like Finland has different types of snow, England has different types of rain. Finland has only one type of rain. Water falls down from the sky and it is always the same. Oh hold on, no, maybe Finland has two types on rain to think about it. Heavy rain (called normal rain in England) and one form of drizzle. In England you get at least three types of drizzle and two types of rain.  At least.

Oh bloody hell it is getting sunny again. I guess I can't avoid going to the shop to buy some milk now. My splash of milk turned into a ball of cheese this morning in my coffee cup, which was STRANGE as the milk had nothing wrong with it yesterday morning. Disgusting, I know. On the other hand, it was funny at the same time as the milk sunk at the bottom of the cup instantly and formed itself into a little dice-sized mozzarella ball. No need to say, I didn't have morning coffee at home.

Tänään on ollut aika täydellinen päivä ja ilta varsinkin omalla parvekkeella viinilasin ja lehtien kera rauhallisen musiikin soidessa taustalla on ollut mitä rentouttavin tapa viettää lauantai-iltaa. Hei ihmiset, elämä on aika ihanaa.
