MUUTOKSIA

Heips,

Blogini tulee lähiaikoina läpikäymään muutamia muutoksia. Ensimmäisen muutoksen huomaa varmasti kaikki blogiani joskus lukeneet. Eli kirjoituskieli vaihtuu suomeksi. Tämä yksinkertaisesti siitä syystä, että haluan ylläpitää äidinkielen taitojani. Monet kieliopillisesti lahjakkaat tulevat saamaan monia harmaita hiuksia (sori), sillä omat kielioppitaidot ovat hieman hakusessa.

Mutta, tarkkaile tätä blogia, niin huomaat mitä uusia tuulia täällä puhaltaa!

:)

It's a busy time of the year

Hi again everyone!

I've been keeping busy but having fun with it as well!

November 22. G and I went to check out a Scandinavian Market in London. The event was held at and organized by the Finnish Church.  It was cool, although crowded and expensive.  But I needed my salmiakki and pulla! :)

My loot

Some pulla

I also ate a rye bread with some salmon and G ate a hotdog the size of this head!
Later that evening we went to watch the Arsenal game in a local pub.

Last weekend I surprised everyone and myself by getting in touch with my inner domestic goddess!
But that's a story for another day.

Last weekend

Hello,

Last weekend I traveled to London to see G. I love taking the train but didn't take any pics because I got to talking with my colleagues and then read a bit of Margaret Atwood's The year of the flood.
G lives in New Cross, I like it there. It's big and busy but friendly and clean at the same time.
We chilled out most the weekend, but on Saturday we went hunting for some food in the local Sainsbury's. Naturally we took some pics!

Basically I love my style. It's quite basic but it still sort of reflects who I am.
And yes, I was trying to get a thigh gap and was contorting myself into weird positions by Sainsbury's parking lot. :)

G was my partner in crime, he took the pics! <3

We also visited a Farmers market, but we were a bit late to leave the house, so we only got the tail end of the action.

Saturday night we went to 12 Bar Club to the Antifolk festival and it was... interesting!
I had never been before so I had no idea what was happening. G's friends Nathan is in a band and we heard them play, they were very good! Other than that, it really wasn't my scene and I don't think I understood what was going on..

Sunday came too soon, as it usually does and before I knew it I was on the train back to SoS. 

That was my weekend. Next weekend I'm back in London for more fun and games! And yes, I will take my trusty camera with me. :)

New start - again

Hello,

I'm back again. It's been nearly a year since my last post and so much has happened!

I've moved a few times since and the last move was just a few weeks ago. I moved to Essex, to Southend-On-Sea for a job.  But not just any job, but my dream job! I'm really excited and happy about it, although I did leave everything I'd gotten to know behind -  again. But S-O-S is a nice city, much bigger than Abbot and although it's always tough in the beginning, I'm sure it'll all be fantastic in the end!

I also have a new beau in my life! I've suddenly gone from being single, living in Abbot and working in Heathfield to being in a relationship, in my dream job and living 50min away from London. All within a space of two months, nearly three.

Here's some pics..

 

As my more avid readers will notice, I am still very much into my artsy fartsy photos! :)I don't take them deliberately, I just happened to notice it when I was uploading them. 

The amazing thing about SOS is the fact that it's by the sea! Not only does it make the climate colder but also it is beautiful and mysterious and wonderful! 

If you don't believe me, believe your own eyes! 

This is all for now, but I promise more will come! x x

News and pics

Hello, 

I'm back after what seems like a lifetime!
I'm still in the UK, still loving every second of my adventure!
But..

I've moved house. I live with a lovely couple, I have my own room and I love it! The couple are really nice and in a bad situation I feel grateful to be here. Another good thing is that we're still great friends and help and support each other..  :)

But yeah, interesting turn of events. On one hand I'm scared and feel uprooted on the other hand I know we made a good decision. And I do still feel like the world is full of opportunities for me. Lol, it's something I didn't feel in Finland. 

The good thing is that I can throw myself into work and the beautiful group of people I am honored to call my colleagues. It serves as a great buoy and helps focus on times when things are again more stable. 

Well, enough of that. Here's  a few bullet points of what's going on at the moment.

- Christmas, it's BIG here! 
 on Wednesday 4th December the town has it's first late night shopping day and it's Victorian themed. I'll be there! Pics or it didn't happen, as usual. Also, first ever Christmas away from my family and in a warped reality, I'll be at work when my family sit down for Christmas dinner.

-We have our company's Christmas party  Friday 6th December. It should be wonderful, we're having it at a beautiful Thached cottage. Prob no pics as it's posh! 

-Build-a-Bear. Pics, most definitely! Also, visit http://www.buildabear.co.uk/  I'm treating myself to a bespoke bear. I'm traveling to Exeter this Saturday to build it! :) I can hardly contain myself. 

-Winter.  Down here it's a piece of piss so far! I'm loving it, every single second of every single day. It's beautiful, crisp and chilly but not Kill-me-cold or pitch black depressing darkness. Of course I'm spending more time indoors and enjoying candles but it's more to do with the fact that I don't have much else to do on a work week. 

-Holiday. I've booked the first full week of January and the last week of January off.

Enough chatter, here's some pics. 

There we are! Quite a lot of pics, I know. But I love every single one of them! #Bighead..

I'm really getting into this photo business, I have fun doing it and it's not harming anyone, so why not!  :D

Ok, I gotta go, work night etc..I'll start posting more often again now that I'm settled in and finding which way is up again.
