Olen lomalla, en tee mitää ä ää ä n

My granny visited us today, and she was holding that small paper bag in which I gave her a birthday present.
"The scarf didn't really suit me, so I'll give it back."

"You didn't like it??"

"SURPRISE!!!!!!"

The bag was full of homemade bread!!! 

Apart from watching football, I've been jumping on our trampoline lately.. And sleeping. And reading.. This is what real holidays consists of: no stress, just all the nice things! I'm getting a bit bored though, even if on  most days I've had something "important" to do as well, like sorting out some school stuff etc. Too bad the weather hasn't been good at weekends, so we haven't had a chance to visit our summerhouse yet :s But next weekend we might visit a zoo though, because there's a polar bear cub and I want to see it...

This zoo was a bit different to a zoo in Finland. No polar bears, no snow...

(photo NOT related;) It was taken in Spain on 2010... I really want to go to beach now!)

The weekend: Hanging out with friends, watching movies, hanging out with friends, watching movies... It was nice to see some junior high school classmates again:)

Monday: Sunbathing! My Great Tanning Plan doesn't seem to work though, because my skin has just burned so far... I also arranged some stuff about that summer high school thingy, and in the evening I went to the city centre with my friend. And watched football! FRA-ENG and UKR-SWE...
Today: Shopping, I really need to buy some stuff before my trip!

So, after a week or so, I'll go to Keuruu in central Finland to celebrate midsummer. We hire a small cottage there, and I'll volunteer at a midsummer event held just a few kms away from there. I guess I'll get to work at a cafe or something :) Below you can see a picture which I took in 2009 in Keuruu.

After staying a few days in Keuruu, I'll go to Helsinki, stay one night there and continue my way to the summer high school which is quite close to Helsinki... In Espoo I think. And I'll stay there for a month, except one weekend that I'll get free... So I'm planning to have another shopping trip in Helsinki ;)

PS. New blog design, any opinions?:)

Lentokaaos taas kerran?

Problems with Iceland's volcanoes again...

The airspace should be still open on Wednesday when we go to Berlin, let's see how it goes... It would be ok to spend a few extra days in Berlin if the airspace gets closed while we're there ;)

Oh anyway, that wasn't the main topic of today's post! I just wanted to post some photos from Spain trip 2010 and the photos that were taken in the airplane suit the situation quite well...

The weather was cloudy for almost the whole flight but between France and Spain the clounds went away  for a while. This is France I guess.

And the Pyrenees! They are just a bit different than the Scandinavian Mountains :p

Espanja osa 1

Bye bye cloudy Finland...

And hello, sunny Spain♥♥ I miss it so much!!

Sorry for bad picture but... PALM TREES!!! I hadn't ever seen them before ;)
