Look how cute they are!



Piki and Pörri greet you!

At home

Yesterday we were at Basso club in Studio 51. We started the evening by meeting and having drinks with Glenn, Jani, Jussi and Chris (Blue Mar Ten). We enjoyed L.A.O.S very much but the rest we heard was crap. We did not unfortunately see and hear Blue Mar Ten or London Electricity, because we left already at one o´clock. We were really tired.
What was reallly funny yesterday, was when we saw one guy wearing "Midnight Sun" T-shirt, but we did not know him at all.

Today we have been cleaning the house. We also re-arranged the furniture once again. This time it is going to stay like this. It looks really neat and every room has more space.

My cat collection has now a very special place.



More space in the bedroom.




We moved the chair in a different corner.




The cat tree is now in the livingroom. We will see tomorrow what Kisu likes of this new order as she returnes home.

Draw a Pig

This is my pig:




This is what it said about me.

You drew the pig:

Toward the middle, you are a realist.

Facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates (birthdays, etc.)

With few details, you are emotional and naive, they care little for details and are a risk-taker.

The size of the ears indicates how good a listener you are.

The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life.

With 4 legs showing, they are secure, stubborn, and stick to their ideals.

a Boring Sunday

Today it has been raining all day. It was kind of good because I had lot school work to do. I sat the whole day in front of computer and wrote our project work and an essee. We also walked to Kotipizza to get us something to eat. As we were walking the thunderstorm started and it lasted really long time. I had again headache, which was propably because of the thunder. I feel now relaxed. I had earlier a lot of stress about school work, but I did managed to get lot of that work done today.

Saturday at Marjaniemi and seeing kitties

Saturday continued to be full of action too. We stayed at Henkka till 2.30. I slept till 10.30 and we ate a nice breakfast with croisants, eggs, bacon and leftover cake. Johan who had stayed the night at our place left in the afternoon.
I did some school work and after that we headed to Marjaniemi to see how Paula was doing. She was doing really fine and was of course very emotional. Estelle was still there too and we had some tea and coffee. We also ate some Indian food Estelle had made earlier.
After a short visit we then continued to Kallio where Ika and Juuso live.
Ika had made an excellent salad and dates filled with blue cheese and walnuts. They tasted great! We also met their two kittens Lulu and Pekka. They were so cute. They really liked me, especially Pekka.





Friday Sushi and Henkka

This past weekend has been eventful. On Friday I did sushi and we had a guest from Sweden called Johan. Antti joined us also and we drank some wine enjoyed the great tasting sushis and finally antti got me persuaded to go to the local pub/nightclub called Henrik.
The place was as I had imagined not at all my kind of place but still we had nice time talking about stuff and laughing at some local yocals.

Sushi for dinner




Today I´m making some sushi for our Swedish guest Johan. He is an old friend of Chris. I´ve never met him before and it has been a long time since Chris has met him too. He is going to visit us today and he will be staying the night at our place.

Yesterday I finally called the vet and talked about Pörri with her. Her opinion was that we should only go to the "Aisti" clinic if Pörri gets another seizure. Pörri should be examined while she has the seizure. Epilepsy shows in the EEG only when having the seizure. She also said that if she does not have frequent seizures it should not be that serious. I really hope she does not have any more of those. It was really scary and I felt so bad for her. The MRI and EEG would cost about 600 Euro.

A Relief

It has been couple very stressful days. Yesterday Paula was in the operation. It went well. She was able to talk afterwards and everything seemed to be ok. That was a great relief. She is still at the ICU but probably she will be back in her own room soon.

Yesterday I was at school again and I met Dunja. She is an exchange student from Germany who I met through Chris´ friend last winter. She came back here to continue her studies. It was nice to meet her again.

My mom came from Spain yesterday. She was there for the last three weeks. Now she´ll be here for two months and is then going back there with Seppo.

I also learned last week that my godmother Anneli is coming to Finland on next month. She has been living in US for the past almost twenty years. She was here last time in 2003. Then she visited me in my Kallio home. Now she is going to come to see Chris and our new home and cats. She is here for only one week and she has really busy schedule.

Watch and be shocked for a lifetime.

Busy weekend

It has been quite a busy weekend. I managed to write an essay. I also had to do a presentation about the essay. I still might do some improvements on the presentation. I have two days time to do those.

Yesterday we were at Marjaniemi. We ate lovely dinner that Paula had made. Chris´parents had invited Paula´s sister Sirpa and her mom there. Ulla Paula´s friend from Vancouver was also visiting. Estelle and Matt came the same afternoon from London.

Today I studied and wrote the essay. Estelle, Matt, Paula and Art visited us briefly and took Kisu to Marjaniemi. Matt is leaving tomorrow back to London. Estelle stays here the whole week. Paula is going to have a brain surgery on tuesday, so these upcoming days are very stressfull.

It´s Friday!

I´m so glad it´s Friday. I´m totally exhausted. I had headache all day at work, which I have at least once a week nowadays.
Today I also got paid, so I have money to buy food again. Jippii! I really need to start finding a new job as I can´t live like this. My pay is just ridiculous. I would have enough stress even without these work and money problems.

Tough times right now, but I believe all will be worth the trouble.

We were at town today and went to dine at Grande Grill. This time the dinner was not so good.

I have lot of school stuff to do on weekend. I have to finish the essay and I also have to study and do the group project. We are invited to Marjaniemi on Saturday as Estelle and Matt are also there.

It´s really nice to be able to sleep a bit longer tomorrow. Last night Piki kept us up and we were both very very tired today.

We have new neigbours also. We have not met them yet. We really hope they are nice.

Onnea Nea!



Hyvää syntymäpäivää Nealle, joka täyttää tänään 2 vuotta. Laitoin kortin eilen tulemaan. Toivottavasti ennättää ajoissa perille.

Ben and Jerry's at Valtsu




Our Valintatalo has suprised us positively by selling Ben and Jerry's there. It happens to be Chris' favorite ice cream. But don't you think that 5,60 € is a bit too much for an ice cream?

Siwa instead resembles a store from former Soviet Union with it's poor selection. You don´t get shrimps or hoddog buns or even canned mushrooms there. Siwa on selvää säästöä!

Guests from London



We are having guests from London next weekend as Chris´ sister Estelle and her husband Matt are coming to Finland. Matt is leaving back to London on Monday but Estelle is staying one week. We are invited to Marjaniemi to barbeque on Saturday.

Paula is having her operation on next Tuesday and she has to go to hospital on Monday.
