I've been fairly busy again, but in the best possible way so it's all good! :)
Work keeps me busy but it also gives me so much, I like feeling like a part of a community and contributing to the society. And also I still catch myself feeling like the luckiest person in the galaxy! It all just feels like such a beautiful dream come true!
It is also more and more mind boggling to realize on a day to day basis that I live in another country and speak another language and this is not the world I grew up knowing. I feel it sometimes puts me in an awkward place. Because I know the language and sound like an English speaker people tend to dismiss me as stupid or taking the mick if I don't know something. So I feel I might be slightly better off if I had a bit of an accent or a tinge of broken English.
Oh, new things I've done in the UK, I had my hair cut! I got quite fed up with my MacGyver-style mullet and finally walked into a hairdressers in Newton. I don't exactly know what I was worried about, it went well and I'm pleased with the do! I do worry about things like that, but it's probably because I'm so aware of all the things I took for granted in Finland. Like knowing a good hairdresser or knowing how to go to the dentist etc.
Speaking of which, I have a dentists appointment tomorrow as a part of my wisdom tooth has chipped off. So I'm having it checked out tomorrow just in case. The only thing is, that I didn't like dentists in Finland and sure as sugar am not going to like them any more in the UK! On the one hand I do want it fixed but on the other hand I'm just gutted that it had to happen to me. And no, I do not think I'm the only person in the world who's had to suffer through a broken wisdom tooth, but I revert into a two year old when it comes to pain I have no control over.. And one thing I know for sure, Dentists HURT, always! And of course my reasonable side will take over tomorrow and get it all done. But my unreasonable side will be crying in a fetal position at the back of my mind.. LOL!
I love the town I live in, Newton Abbot! It's such a beautiful town with such picturesque features. I mean, I'm not a photographer and my camera is just a basic point and shoot-Nikon. But look at these photos! :)
Also, I'm happy to announce that I'm back to crafts! It has been a shock to the system to change everything and only recently I've allowed myself to enjoy the things I did back home. I'm actually that simple minded! No, I think it's more of having prioritized other things, like getting a job, making some friends and knowing where I am. So now that I'm getting more "at home" I can go back to living and not just surviving. If it makes any sense?
But yeah, I've bought some beads to make jewellery and am having my brothers bring my knitting needles over.
I'm also in the throws of a DIY-project but I don't want to tell about it too much as it's not ready and might easily still fail..
And here's some more pics of my beautiful home town!

I am so excited to have my brothers come over and to show them everything! My good friend Sanna came over earlier and I smothered her with everything a bit.. Sanna is cool though, so she just told me to sit down and shut up and let her see and experience for herself. <3 |

And here's some more pics, I've been busy! I always take my camera with me where ever I go. |

| Here's a pic of a spider I saw and under that there's pics of a dead pigeons I saw in the park. It looked so peaceful and almost like it could just jump back up (after the nap it was so clearly taking with it's eyes open!). It's advisable to inform everyone who reads this blog, that I had nothing to do with the deaths of the pigeons, I just came over after the fact to document their demise.. |
