Monday: on a picnic at Suomenlinna.

And they are gone!

I am tired too (still). On the last night before leaving Sia and me stayed up talking until 2am… and then got up at six for the early plane. And then I was home alone again and it felt so weird. It was all gone so very quickly…

Now I am listening to rain and Inara George (beautiful website and music).
Somehow, without me noticing, this place has started to feel like a home (and I want to make it more so, maybe just a cheap lamp for the kitchen, painting the old dresser, something…) I want to learn how to make my own iced soy lattes and I want to get back to drawing, dancing, living…

Tomorrow I am seeing Silvia again and later on going to the Flow festival. Have a good weekend!

P.S. Floris had a good quote on courage, it went something like this:
You already have a no, so you might as well try to get a yes.

Sia and me at Bali Hai

They are here! We will be sightseeing Helsinki for a couple of days. It’s almost like I am on a holiday as well… Today we had some lunch turned early dinner at a new place called Bali Hai, and then walked to Senaatintori and enjoyed iced coffees in the inner yard of Cafe Engel. Tomorrow we get to see Silvia as well. (So I didn’t get to go to Holland this year, but Holland came to me instead… kind of)

Sia and Floris, aren’t they cute?
