Mini vacay – Heippa! Mulla on nyt vĂ€hĂ€n pitempi vapaa niin tulin kĂ€ymÀÀn mun vanhemmilla tÀÀllĂ€ Oulun lĂ€hellĂ€. Awsin oli tarkoitus tulla kans, mutta sillĂ€ onkin töitĂ€ sillain, ettei se pÀÀssytkÀÀn. HyppĂ€sin eilen puolilta pĂ€ivin junaan yötöiden jĂ€lkeen. Mulla oli siis ma-ti yö töitĂ€, lensin yö-Alicanten. Itse lento ei tuntunut pahalta, mutta kotiinpÀÀstyĂ€ olikin eri fiilis. Kun pÀÀsin aamulla kotiin, tiesin, etÀÀ ehdin nukkua vajaat kaks tuntia ennen kuin pitÀÀ lĂ€htĂ€ junalle. Voin kertoa, ettĂ€ niiden kahden tunnin tirsojen jĂ€lkeen oli aikamoinen olo 😀 Junassa en saanu nukuttua, mutta viime yönĂ€ nukuin ihanasti varmaan 12 tuntia.

TĂ€ytyypĂ€ antaa muuten hyvÀÀ palautetta VR:lle. Eilen ennen junan lĂ€htöÀ menin aikaisin asemalle, koska halusin siirtÀÀ ne Awsin junaliput toiselle ajalle, ettei ne jĂ€is kĂ€yttĂ€mĂ€ttĂ€. En ollu ehtiny juuri katella aikoja ja junia, joten ajattelin ettĂ€ helpointa olis siirtÀÀ ne liput siellĂ€ asiakaspalvelussa. Mulla oli 35 minuuttia aikaa ennen junan lĂ€htöÀ, mutta mun edessĂ€ oli 40 asiakasta, joten en olis millÀÀn ehtiny tehĂ€ siirtoa asiakaspalvelussa. Soitin siitĂ€ sitten asiakaspalvelunumeroon. Heti vastattiin ja ystĂ€vĂ€llinen asiakaspalvelija luetteli mulle vaihtoehtoja haluamalleni viikonlopulle. Varmaan viidessĂ€ minuutissa siirto oli tehty, siirtomaksu maksettu ja homma kunnossa! Ja puhelukin oli ilmainen! Ihanaa, kun asiat joskus sujuu helpommin kuin olettaa 🙂

Nyt oon siis loppuviikon tÀÀllÀ porukoilla. TÀnÀÀn aijon ainakin pestÀ mattoja! Nyt ainakin paistaa aurinko, niin pitÀÀkin mennÀ ÀkkiÀ ulos ennen kuin sÀÀ ehtii muuttua. Kivaa keskiviikkoa!

Mini vacay – Hello! Now I have a little longer time off so I came to visit my parents here near Oulu. Aws was supposed to come as well, but he has work so that he couldn’t come after all. I jumped on the train yesterday around noon after a night of working. I had a night-Alicante on the Mon-Tue night. The flight itself wasn’t so bad, but the feeling after coming home was a little different. When I got home in the morning I knew that I have less than two hours to sleep before I have to go to catch the train. I can tell you that after that nap I was feeling quite horrible 😀 I couldn’t sleep in the train, but last night I slept around 12 hours. Lovely!

I have to give good feedback to VR (the train company in Finland). Yesterday I went to the station early so I could have time to go to the customer service to change the date on Aws’s ticket. I wanted to change it to another date, so it wouldn’t go to waste. I hadn’t had time to check any schedules or anything, so I thought it would be easiest to do the change in the customer service. I had 35 minutes before the departure, but there were over 40 people on the line before me so I couldn’t have made it. So I called their customer service number. They answered right away and this nice customer servant listed all the options on the dates I wanted.Within 5 minutes we had the change done, the little payment paid and all good! Even the phone call was for free! It’s so nice when things go smoother than expected 🙂

Now for the rest of the week I’m here at my parents’. Today I will at least wash carpets! Note to the non-Finnish readers, washing the carpets or rugs outside is a very traditional summer thing to do. Google “matonpesu” if you don’t know how it looks like 🙂 It is sunny now, so I’ll better get going before the weather changes! Have a nice Wednesday!

annimarian AmericanoAmericano – Heippa! Mulla oli tĂ€nÀÀn töitĂ€ ja tulin iltapĂ€ivĂ€llĂ€ takas kotiin. LĂ€hettiin siitĂ€ sitten aikalailla heti pyörillĂ€ Aurinkolahtea ja Uutelaa kohti. Ostettiin matkalla evĂ€stĂ€ ja mentiin sinne merenrantaan nauttiin kesĂ€illasta.

NĂ€mĂ€ kuvat on kuitenkin eiliseltĂ€, kun nĂ€in mun serkkuja keskustassa. KyllĂ€pĂ€s tuntui oikein kesĂ€ltĂ€, kun auringossa oli ihan kohtuullisen lĂ€mmin ja keskustassa oli vipinÀÀ. Ostin kesĂ€n ensimmĂ€isen jĂ€tskin ihan kioskilta! Parempi myöhÀÀn kuin ei milloinkaan… Maistoin myös kahvin tuollaisesta kahvikojusta, hyvÀÀ oli.

Huomenna on kai taas tulossa lÀmmin pÀivÀ ja mulla on töitÀ. No, meen vasta iltaan niin ehkÀ ehdin aamupÀivÀllÀ nautiskella auringosta takapihalla!

Americano – Hello! I had work today and I got back home in the afternoon. We took our bikes and rode to Aurinkolahti and Uutela right after my work! On the way there we bought drinks and snacks and went to the beach to enjoy the summer night.

These pictures, however, are from yesterday when I met with my cousins in the center. It felt like a real summer day, it was pretty warm and there was a lot of people in the center. I even bought my first ice cream from the kiosk this summer! Better late than never I guess… I also tried a coffee from this bike coffee kiosk-thing. It was good!

Tomorrow it is supposed to be a warm day again. I have work. Well, I’m going to work in the afternoon, so maybe I’ll have a chance to enjoy the sun before work in the backyard!

Smells like sun and tanning oil

annimarian Smells like sun and tanning oilSmells like sun and tanning oil – Heippa! TĂ€nÀÀn pÀÀsi ottaan aurinkoa, jee! Mulla oli tĂ€nÀÀn vapaapĂ€ivĂ€ ja sattuipa tulemaan hyvĂ€ sÀÀ. LĂ€mpömittari ei nĂ€yttĂ€nyt kuin alle 20 astetta, mutta aurikoisella paikalla pihalla meinas tulla ihan kuuma. Aloitin vasta lukemaan tuota Keplerin Hypnotisoijaa, joka vaikuttaa tosi hyvĂ€ltĂ€. En kuitenkaan malttanut sitĂ€ tĂ€nÀÀn aurinkoa ottaessani lueskella, vaan puuhastelin taas uuden kĂ€sityöprojektin kimpussa. Heti kun saan sen valmiiksi, esittelen sen tÀÀllĂ€kin!

Huomenna mulla onkin taas aikainen herÀtys, koska mulla alkaa pÀivystys kello 5 aamulla. AamupÀikÀt ei todellakaan oo mitÀÀn herkkua, koska puhelua odotellessa ei millÀÀn jaksais olla hereillÀ tai tehdÀ oikein mitÀÀn, mutta nukuttuakaan ei saa. YleensÀ laitan itseni ihan valmiiksi ja sitten torkun sohvalla (selÀllÀÀn, ettei meikki mene pilalle), mutta ei siinÀ yleensÀ saa nukuttua. Ja jos sattuu nukahtamaan, niin sitten nÀkee ihmeellisiÀ unia siitÀ, miten puhelin menee rikki eikÀ soi tai jotain muuta vastaavaa. Katotaanpa saanko mentyÀ ajoissa nukkumaan. Wish me luck!

Smells like sun and tanning oil – Hello! Today it was warm enough for some tanning, yeeesss! I had a day off and the weather turned out to be so nice. It was actually less than 20 degrees, but in a sunny spot in the garden it was almost hot. I have started to read that Kepler book quite recently and it seems to be very good. However I still didn’t read it today while tanning, because I was so busy with my newest handicraft and sewing project. I will show the results here once I get it finished!

Tomorrow I will have a very early morning again, because I’m on a standby starting from 5 am. The morning standbys are not the nicest, because it is hard to stay awake while waiting for the call, but it is also hard to sleep. I normally get all ready and then try to sleep on the sofa (on my back, so the make-up doesn’t get ruined), but usually I don’t get to sleep. And if I happen to fall asleep for a moment, I get the weirdest dreams of the phone breaking down and missing the call etc. Let’s see if I manage to go to sleep early tonight. Wish me luck!

annimarian Midsummer through my phoneMidsummer through my phone – Heippa! Paluu arkeen ja töihin koitti tĂ€nÀÀn, mulla oli lento Budapestiin. Postauksen kuvat on puhelimella napsittuja kuvia juhannukselta! Oltiin siis mökillĂ€ perinteiseen tapaan. SÀÀ oli aika kylmĂ€, mutta ei satanut, joten en valita! Lauantaina pĂ€ivĂ€llĂ€ oli jopa hetki aurinkoista. Just ennen juhannusta palasin New Yorkista ja mun flunssa vĂ€hĂ€n innostui uudelleen siinĂ€ paluussa. Liekö leparilla sitten ollut vĂ€hĂ€n kylmĂ€ vai mitĂ€, mutta levon jĂ€lkeen kun palasin töihin oli kurkkukipu taas palannut. Juhannuskin meni sitten vĂ€hĂ€n vaihtelevassa olotilassa, mutta eipĂ€ tullut ainakaan juhlittua liian ankarasti.

Juhannuksen ohjelmaan kuului, yllĂ€tys yllĂ€tys, hyvÀÀ ruokaa ja juomaa hyvĂ€ssĂ€ seurassa. Juhannussauna ja perinteinen juhannuspĂ€ivĂ€n karaoke piti flunssaisen olon takia skipata. MeidĂ€n suvun juhannuksesta ei kyllĂ€ omaperĂ€isiĂ€ ohjelmanumeroita puutu! Viimeinen kuva antakoon vĂ€hĂ€n suuntaa… EhkĂ€ siksi aika meneekin aina niin Ă€kkiĂ€! Huomenna lennĂ€n Brysseliin. Kivaa viikkoa!

Midsummer through my phone – Hello! Back to reality after Midsummer. Today I flew to Budapest and back. The pictures in this post are from my phone taken over the Midsummer weekend. We were traditionally at the summer house. The weather was quite cold, but since it didn’t rain I don’t complain! On Saturday it was sunny for a moment. Right before Midsummer I came home from New York and I think my flu didn’t like the flight. Maybe it was a little cold in the crew rest area, because after the rest my throat was sore again. During the weekend the flu was kind of on-off all the time, so I took the celebrations quite easy.

The Midsummer was focused on food and drinks in good company, as always. I had to skip the Midsummer sauna and the traditional Midsummer day karaoke because of my flu though. The Midsummer with family and relatives is always full of fun (and maybe weird) activities! The last picture can give a little hint… Maybe that’s why the time always flies. Tomorrow I will fly to Brussels. Have a nice week!

Midsummer

annimarian MidsummerMidsummer – Heippa! TÀÀllĂ€ valmistaudutaan jo kovaa vauhtia juhannukseen! Yks juhannuksen parhaista antimista nĂ€kyy kuvassa eli juhannusjuusto. Niiiiiin hyvÀÀ! Ollan nyt tÀÀllĂ€ mun vanhempien luona ja myöhemmin tĂ€nÀÀn siirtytÀÀn mökille. MökillĂ€ on menossa pikku remontti, joka on vielĂ€ kesken. Saa nĂ€hĂ€ kuinka valmiiksi se saadaan ennen iltaa 😀

KĂ€vin eilen illalla vĂ€hĂ€n penkoon varastossa ja löysin taas ihanat farkut. VĂ€hĂ€n pitÀÀ fiksata niin tulee tĂ€ydelliset. NykistĂ€ ei löytyny sopivia, mutta vanhempien varasto pelastaa! Äiti on joskus ostanut kasoittain LeviksiĂ€ ja muita farkkuja kirppareilta kĂ€sitöitĂ€ varten ja siellĂ€ seassa on aikamoisia helmiĂ€!

Nyt lÀhen tekemÀÀn vÀhÀn kuntopiiriÀ ennen juhannusjuhlintaa. En varmaan kauheasti pÀivittele blogia tÀssÀ pariin pÀivÀÀn, mutta Insta storyyn tulee varmaan juttua. Kivaa juhannusta!

Midsummer – Hello! Here we are getting ready for the Midsummer! One of the best things about Midsummer is seen above, the “Midsummer cheese”. For those of you who don’t know, it is made by boiling fresh full fat milk for hours with a few drops of this liquid that makes the milk to turn into cheese. It is soooooo good. Now we are here at my parents’ place and later we will go to the summer house. The is some renovations still going on at the summer house, so we’ll see if we can get them ready before the night 😀

Last night I went to the warehouse to look for some jeans and I found a lovely pair again! Just a little bit of fixing and they are perfect. I didn’t find jeans in New York, but my parents’ warehouse saves the situation. My mom has bought piles of Levi’s and other jeans from second hand stores for handicrafts and among those jeans there are some amazing ones!

Now I’ll go and do some sports before the Midsummer celebrations. I might not be updating the blog too much for a couple of days, but some stuff will be on Insta story anyway. Have a great Midsummer!
