Most people seem to take pictures only at their holidays, and at birthdays and when someone marries. That makes for an odd archive of your life, doesn't it? Likewise most news, and a huge portion of blogs focuses on accidents and large disasters. No, i don't think we should pretend there aren't problems, but this hung-uppedness of the tragedy of life makes for a very odd archive of our lives, doesn't it?

Metro no metro
Woop woop, with a bang and a whizz the small mall reopened, only half a year late. And yes, we can now see the metro signs, and the stairs going down undergrund. But we have no access. The metro is delayed, following a delay, that came on top of another delay. Also, the main road in front of the mall is a bumpy one, to state it mildly. Yes, i know all these gripes are of minor importance, that there are larger fish to fry, but these issues affect me every day. They are a part of my existence, and so i think i can whine about them, at least a little bit. Because in so many ways life is both about the little things, and the big things, all mixed up. Know what i mean?
Coffee time
So, finally the island has gotten some decent cafées. It tended to become rather monotonous to always meet up at Mutteri. But now olipa kerran kahvila at Gyldénintie (next to the metro entrance) and Makers Cafe at Heikkiläntie (next to Shell) offers a cosy atmosphere and good coffee. Both are, interestingly enough, focusing on raw food, ecological ingredients and sustainable solutions. That said they then diverge into two very different paths, which is reassuring.

it has been almost 2 months since i enjoyed the soft sand of the little beach in lauttasaari, the one below the path towards little mokki houses.. one evening i was there alone and took my sandals off, feeling the sand between my toes, when a lady walked by and asked if i have lost something..her dog was also looking at me and wanted to play. I told her what i knew to say in finnish: Ei. Kaunis and pointed to the horizon. I think she understood and smiled. I miss that so much, the view, the wide sea separating me from my country and making me believe one day i will stay in Lauttasaari forever.
Thank you for deciding to write, and i have noticed you have put photos in your blog, and when i looked at that sunset it made me feel so sentimental..
Please write more, tell me when the leaves begin to fall off the trees and the first rain beings, it will make me cry because i am not there to see it, but tell me anyway..
