Juhannus Fun

Two days ago as usual hubby told me out of the blue that we were spending a night at my in-laws on Friday. He had forgotten to tell me that earlier. Not that I mind too much, but sometimes I do love being told much earlier so that I can plan what to cook and when to cook and if I want to bring something for them, I have time to plan what I want to make or bake.

But as I had expected, we had a GREAT time together he he he he...I'll tell you later what kind of game we played outside, but for now
let me just share some flower pics I took.


This one below is my fave. I also took a pic of this flower from other angles.





A MAGNIFICENT field of yellow flowers. They seem to grow everywhere in any field in Kelujärvi.




Also found some bugs he he he he he...











These roses below are actually MUCH prettier in reality as there are some orangey colours on the petals, but unfortunately they're not really vivid here.











Last but not least, here's a pic of me in my in-laws boat HE HE HE HE...


I'll blog hop tomorrow. Now it's time to watch a movie with hubby ho ho ho ho ho ho...

Juhannus Again!

After another 6,5 hour work cleaning the shelves in the store today, I came home exhausted again (read: collapsing on the sofa with my smelly feet - well, what do you expect after doing hard work with my socks and shoes on?), but my heart feels light, because tomorrow is a holiday for me HUA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...Finally my body can have proper rest!!!





One good thing about this kind of job training is that I can come home and think of nothing. I don't have to think about my undone tasks or the grumpy people I've met (because I've only been dealing with things, not people) and I've been burning calories.

I joked to Arttu today, "If I don't lose weight after doing this for 15 days, I'm going to S-C-R-E-A-M!" LOL LOL!!! I do want to lose weight, by the way, before I go to Indo, because I'm 1000000% sure that I'm going to gain weight when I'm there HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...

Now I get sidetracked...Speaking of this training, NO, it's not a permanent job. It's just a compulsory training that the course asks us to do for 15 days. Besides, I'm not sure that they have a job to offer and I don't think I want to do this kind of job even if they ask me to he he he...

Anyway, Midsummer Day (this coming Saturday) is a big day for everybody here, so tomorrow most places are only open for a few hours. Funnily enough, in our course we're taught that on Midsummer Day, people party a lot and they build a big campfire and roast sausages there, but I've never seen one yet, even though I've lived here for about a year and 3 months.

Tomorrow hubby and I are going to my in-laws. YIIPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE!!! Last week we didn't go there, so I miss them already. Other than them, I also miss the kind of serenity that their place has to offer. A nice walk to the lake, their sauna, their warmth...playing cards with my MIL and hubby...I LOVE routine like this!!!





And I can't wait to see her blooming flowers, though I'm slightly afraid that tomorrow it'll rain again just like today he he he...If "summer" here keeps on being rainy and gloomy, I'll be SO SO SO SO glad that we're going to Indo in October when it starts to get dark again, because then we can enjoy the sun there HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

OK, time to watch a movie and relax.
