AA, when I look out of the window, I can only see white, and snow, and COLD. Yeah, back in good-old Finland, enjoying the cold breeze (-10c to -23c), and the great and awsome white christmas. So, only 2 days till chrismas, and its already white as white can be, usually before christmas its almost greyish, as its "warmed" and when the snow comes down, it almost melts. The winter, and the cold breezes have, for the past 5 years, moved more and more away from christmas. But not this year. I ACTUALLY had a cold and white welcome when I came back to Finland, last thursday (17th, dec) and I have to say "YEAAH!!". Side note, england had its snow on the next day (18th) and almost every train, plane and facility was closed or delayed because of it. And I heard that if I would've traveled a day later, I would've been late atleast 6-8hours. :)) Planes didnt go up, because of 5cm of snow on the ground. :) hehe.. geesh

So christmas ahead, and leisure time.!NOT, I still need to write before the 12th, an essay for my Tourism in the City course (only 3000-4000words). hmm. when Will i FIND the motivation for that.. ..anyhow, pictures are up, a few from lincoln and then a few from Finland. and of course of Buusteri :) our awsome dog!

btw, I saw Christmas Carol (with Jim Carrey) in 3D last week and it was magnificent, brilliant.. almost touchable! :)) 3d..wheezzz and the action jackson flick Law Abiding Citizen

Long time again...

Sunday going on very smoothly and thinking on what food I'll make for today, at the moment turning to wraps and some meat sauce and salad inside. But will see. Also uploading some photos from my trip to Savonlinna and some pics from my mom's new dog, Buusteri (Smooth Collie). He's now only 8weeks old, so chewing up everything and bitting everything plant he can find outside. hehe. .

Buuster :))

Also, like I said earlier that I went to Savonlinna, I saw my cousins there and ate some VERY good food. I visited Retretti last thursday also. Its a place, gallery/museum, thats built underground in caves and caverns, and they hold gallery showings and music performances there. A Very cool place have to say. I attended the Olavi Day at Savonlinna on the 29th, which is like a huge day for that city/town. Heeps of things to do, from eating contests to live music perfomances. Also we were lucky enough to have a good day, weather wise, almost clear sky and warm and sunny.
