Having too much money…

…obviously. Went out this Saturday. Not in the evening though (30.4) as I avoid moving through the minefield that is hundreds of drunken Finns. But during the day to find the most amazing candy shop, Sweet Shop, and Turku’s cutest design store Polkka Jam. Bought a pillow with a print inspired by some of Turku’s older houses. Went [...]

The most wonderful phone bench!

This is for you Anna-Karin. Have you seen anything more beautiful (only that I’d given the chair a bit different upholstery…)

Afterwards you could actually see the size of the garden but it felt like I had [...]

Done

Here is the result of my labour – it took me a lot more hours than I first thought it would – but now it almost looks like I’ve painted the words on the wall instead of just using an adhesive plastic film. The weather is still lovely. I was out walking for over 2hours yesterday [...]

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, [...]

Warm outside warm inside

The little nasty creatures attacking my body thought it would be a good idea doing it during our first (and hopefully not last) heatwave. Outside it’s 27 degrees Celsius – only 10.5 degrees below my own body temperature. Went to work today, where it’s cool and wonderful, but did not have the strength to go to [...]

mini vacation

This Friday I’ll take the boat to Sweden. And I sure need the break. Today was another of those days where you wonder why you went to work at all. Everything failed and I have to do the same PCR for what feels like the trillionth time… After finishing my PhD I’ll have the patience [...]
