The uglyness of life
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010Miss 10 called me from school, crying. The class was told today that one of their friends has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. I don’t know how bad it is or is it treatable, just that this sweet 10-year old girl has a brain tumor. She’s a sweetest girl. Quiet, shy, always with very [...]
Busy days
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010For some my life seems to be rather busy these days. Well, that’s only one side of it. Yes, it’s active, with two girls and their hobbies in addition to my own interests. There’s riding, steeple chase, guitar lessons, agility… that with blogging, photography, church… plus all the “normal” stuff in life. Lorna said today [...]
How to make cotton candy/candy floss
Sunday, August 29th, 2010[linguistic rant]First, let me tell you that to me the Brittish word for it sounds like doing dental care with sugar…[/end of linguistic rant] My previous post made R and Lorna wonder how is it possible to make cotton candy at home. Well, it’s not difficult – but you need a special machine for it. [...]
This week in short
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010The autumn has really arrived. The heatwave is gone and instead we’re having cold nights, chilly mornings, rain and grey days. It’s melancholic to think that soon the birds will go, the trees will drop their leaves and the world will be dark, wet and gloomy again. But I’m trying not to worry about it [...]
mundane
Saturday, August 21st, 2010i’m sitting in mr right’s car in front of the hardware store. Didn’t bother going in. So far i’ve interviewed three sales persons about our possibilities for enhancing our wireless connections at home. Yeah boring i know.??Lorna was here for a couple a days and at least i think we had a great time. Been [...]
It is time
Monday, August 16th, 2010It says in the Bible that there’s time for everything. And we all know that the Book tells the truth, right? The time to go to bed has way gone but I’m still up. Yep. Tomorrow (actually, in the morning) it’s time for me to go to work again. And again I’ll be very tired. [...]
Celebration time
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Today is an important day – a day of transformation: Miss 9 becomes Miss 10 :) When I was less than two months pregnant with her I started bleeding. The doctors said (on the phone) that the baby is probably gone by now – merry christmas, go see a doctor after the holiday. Well, I [...]
Girl with curls
Monday, August 9th, 2010When I was a kid I had a thick, long, blonde, straight hair. Just like Miss 13 has now. I always wished to have born with dark brown curls. Over the years my hair has darkened a bit – but not really in a good way: Now they are as we say in Finland, “maantienväriset” [...]
Weekend
Sunday, August 8th, 2010It was a wise decision to start work after vacation with a two-day week. Now a normal weekend still feels like a holiday :) Monday and Tuesday we went to the riding school again, after a month’s break. It was good to see the horses and the people again – and the owner greeted me [...]
