Things I like, November

That you can get a whole bag of Kiss-Kiss. A Whole Bag! Buy it for you kids, for your friends, for yourself – I think Fazer has created world peace – you just eliminate all the bad alternatives.   Gooseberry-carrot (krusbär-morot) jam. Bought from a church fair. Next year – homemade!   Work of art. [...]

helsinki

So I was in Helsinki last weekend. And during those three days I managed to get hooked on coffee – again. Spent most of Wednesday with a terrible headache until I gave in and had my fix. 15min after that cup of coffee I felt just fine. Imagine that… When I told Matteo of my problems [...]

I have seen the future

If there were more guys in church… Instead of the very thin version of the Bible that preachers like to carry around, they would all have iphones. You just insert a search word and the Bible verse you’re looking for will automatically pop up. This is the case at our church’s mini conference where my [...]

Let’s play the game of…

Two slightly disturbing pictures

I have something in my eye that says ok. I fried a worm today. I was so hungry that I decided the Estonian mushrooms I was about to cook were clean enough to put straight in the frying pan. Not a good idea. I managed to fish out some needles (barr) as well but I wonder what’s [...]

My week in words and pictures

First a word of warning: Do not eat ginseng chocolate! It tastes like potato cellar – I kid you not! I don’t know if the dirt in Korea tastes different from the Finnish version - but I can’t come up with any other explanation to how they can like this disgusting inedible thing. However, Korean cabbage chocolate is very nice, [...]

Chocolate chip cookies!!

So I’ve said it before – the best thing with travelling is the food! In Scotland that was the enormous chocolate chip cookies, fresh from the bakery, soft in the middle with crunchy edges and like 100% chocolate.  Here is a picture: Did I mention the size! Enormous! So naturally I wanted to enjoy these [...]

Today’s Friday

Today they photographed my eyes causing me to look like I was high on drugs from 8 to 12 am. The nurse who gave me the eye drops said that the pupil of dark eyes tend to dilate slower – I wonder if it takes longer for it to return to normal too… Then I got a coffee [...]

Christmas in pictures

I went home and spent my Christmas doing what I’ve done for 27 years now. We watched Donald Duck on Swedish TV. And the traditional family photo was taken - courtesy of Olle. We ate lots of leftovers. We took the ferry to Bergö to visit my grandparents. There was singing – that was interrupted by my [...]

Today I don’t feel like an idiot

Three things that made me happy today: 1. I aced my interview for the PhD school. I was so good that I even made them laugh!! 2. I was so incredibly smart that I put some rubber finger pads on when I went to inject my mice. They could bite all they wanted but to [...]
