Finally...

Ok, it's slowly starting to feel like a holiday. Although I did get up first time before seven (before 5 my time), I had the brains to go back to bed. Second time I woke up around nine which is much more suitable time to get up while on holiday, and after some morning yoga my mom had prepared a wonderful breakfast with succulent Finnish strawberries (best in the world), melon slices and dark rye bread with mature Edam and Finnish metwust (best in the world). A long breakfast with interesting conversations followed, and then it was time to drag Dragon out of the bed as he was going to go and see his grandmother. I then proceeded in finding a bug in my parents newly furbished shower, which my dad proceeded in fixing (I just can' let go, it seems).

In the afternoon we had a slow walk to the closeby village shop with my mom, and we cooked lunch together. We stopped every now and again to look at flowers on the roadside - Finnish nature is so beautiful, and the climate is so mild at the moment. The air is soft, and it's warm - it's so different to what we have at home. I think it was on that walk back from the shop that I finally started relaxing and feeling that I was somewhere else, letting go.

Nap helped too - I just love napping but I don't seem to have the luxury nowadays. I was woken up by my dad builing a spice rack for my mom, banging on the other side of the wall. Still - it was a nice nap and I'm starting to get ready for the now traditional evening get-together in Blockila.

Mmm.... holiday.
