Saturday 28.6.2014 Working and shopping

Hello everybody!

I'm alive, sorry you haven't hear of me long time. 

I have been at work last 2 weeks at travelling and culture info. I have made garden jobs at Välimaa's traditional cottage, taken care of 2 groups of kids and one meeting and spent quite boring time at our office because they don't have that much work to do for me. So my working doesn't have anything new. 

Yesterday after work I tested milk cheese and gluten free mud cake and after baking went to my friend's place. 


(Sorry I don't have picture of my mud cake. It was so muddy and good. I could give you a recept some day.)

Today mummy had running competition so mummy and daddy took us on the morning and we went to Turku for a shopping.

Thursday 19.6.2014 First days at work and back to cottage

Hi! 

Again some kind of check about this week.

On Monday I started working on culture info. I spent 7 hours on our office but I haven't that much to do so day was too boring. After work I went to sport field and runned kids sport club with my friend. This time our sport was long distance running. First some playes, stretching and warm up running then running excercises and technical excercises and last playes and stretching. In the evening I met my friend and spent whole evening with her. I went back home when it was sleeping time because I don't like to stay alone at home, it is boring. Before sleeping I had time with honey, it made me happy.

On Tuesday I spent more than 3 hours at traditional cottage taking places, cleaning, watering flowers,... And week ago I had planted strawberries and now there was first little berry! When I was ready I went to office and made some calls. 5pm it was time to go back to traditional cottage because it was my job to take care of one happening there. After happening it was quite late but I had promised to cut crass at gradad place. So again I went home when it was time to sleep and chatted with honey. 

On Wednesday I opened office on the morning but there wasn't so much to do. After 2 hours my co-worker came and I went to traditional cottage. There I watered flowers and made garden jobs. 5pm it was time to go grandad place, go to train station and go back to summer cottage.

Today whole family went to city for midsummer sale shopping. I bought:

NewBalance running shoes 78€ (149€)

All from Sokos midsummer sale 

Loose fit from H&M 10€ (24,95€)

Dress from H&M 14,95€

(High heels http://dontbeafraidyouwillwin.blogspot.fi/2014/06/thursday-1262014-week-news.html?m=1 )

Whole evening we watched football World Championship. Do you have favourite team?

I am going to spend midsummer at the cottage with my family. What kind of midsummer plans you have?

Sunday 15.6. Thinking from train

Hi everybody!

I am going home by train. First time alone so I hope so I will find next train also! 

Reason why I am going home now and rest of my family stay at the cottage is that my summerjob start tomorrow. Wuhuu! Really somehow I am waiting but some how... I could stay at the cottage and enjoy summer or meet friends. But work means money, money means travelling, travelling means Africa and Africa means honey! 

I get job from culture info for a month and after one month I have three days off and then traditional cottages summer week start so I will have more work. Next week I work Monday to Wednesday, I got Thursday off and Friday nobody go for a work because it is midsummer and party! Midsummer is reason I wanted Thursday off, I am going back to the summer cottage Wednesday evening.


After last post I have stayed at the cottage, (tried) run, swam, went to sauna, played card games, walked with Mini, slept a lot, read blogs,... But I haven't chat with honey that much and I am not happy about it. He has had busy because his working place got 400 guests yesterday so there have been lot of work. 

But now it is time to take second train, see you later!

EDIT: 
Right train found!

Friday 13.6.2014 Dance

Hi!

Today I will talk about dancing. It has been my hobby about 10 years. When I started it was ballet whom I did 2 years with my best friend. We didn't like teacher and when I think it now problem was that she wasn't good with little kids. My friend wasn't keen into continue anymore so I change teacher and style to jazz. And it's still my area.



This jazz we dance is not often same than commonly thought jazz music, this is more modern dance and we use pop music. Last year I had to change teacher but I like both jazz teachers.



What is dance for me? When I go to the dancing lesson it means friends and learning. When I am school and sport lesson then it means I am not hopeless because I have rhythm. When I have strong feelings I can decode them by dancing after learning lot of things. I can link some of my favourites lyrics to you, but everybody who want to dance should have own lyrics if you ask me. I like pop because it have clear tempo, beat and rhythm. I'm not so keen into about rock, country, opera,... Hiphop and modern dance are cool, I have tested both and I liked but like everything new it was quite difficult particularly hiphop. But I have to say that most difficult, almost impossible, style come from Africa, I can't find at least beat at all!


Here the songs with best beats

Pink - Just give me a reason

Pink - Try

Pink - Perfect

Pink - Please don't leave me

The Script - Hall of fame

The Script - If you could see me now

Passenger - Let her go

Passenger - The wrong direction

Passenger - Life's for the living

Passenger - Staring at the stars

Passenger - Heart on fire

Other dancers here?

Thursday 12.6.2014 Week news

Hello from Jyväskylä!

On Monday I had meeting at work. I am going to start my summer job on cultur info on Monday 16.6. so we talked what I will do and what kind of happenings we will have. In the evening me and my friend runned kids sport club. Busy day but I prefer it than lazy day without any action.


Travelling outfit on Tuesday 

On Tuesday I had driving lesson on slippery road and infact it was quite nice and went good. I also passed a lorry, first pass ever and I had driven only four hours before! After driving I went to traditional cottage to plant strawberries and water flowers. In the evening we drove to Jyväskylä to our summer cottage. Huh how well I slept I was so tired after travelling, early morning and busy day!



On Wednesday after breakfast I went for a running. Here in middle part of Finland is lot of hills and around our cottage is very good roads for running and weather was so nice. So I runned 11 km! Sure I had to walk couple times because calves hurted like a hell but most of time I runned and it was amazing. I can't remember when I last time did it! When I came back to the cottage I made some house works and enjoyed nice summer.


Today, on Thursday, was rainy day so we played card, stayed inside and went to the city. Grocery, buy train tickets for me, little shopping and dinner.



Tapas from Mekka 20€ (60€)

Saturday 7.6.2014 Last day in Amsterdam

Hello!

Also today morning I went for a running with mummy in beautiful Vondelpark.


After running and breakfast we tested canal boats and it was very nice. You should test it if you travel to Amsterdam. It's nice way to spend time outside and see beautiful old buildings other way than usually.


We also checked tulips, cheese and houseboat museums and Abercrombie & Fitch shopping place. Yes, last picture is shopping place with loud music and strong parfyme!


After nice day we took a bus and went to the airport. First flight was Amsterdam - Riga and second Riga - Helsinki. Same than when we came. 


Amsterdam is not my favourite city but I really enjoyed our trip and I think you should test this city, maybe it will be your favourite.

Friday 6.6.2014 Third day in Amsterdam

Finally sunny day in Amsterdam! 


Today we rented bikes and drive to the zoo called Artis. It was very nice place even I felt little bit bad to see unhappy and nervous animals. It wasn't so cool to see lynx next to lions. After zoo we rided by bike to Ajax football stadium. I think everybody should ride a bike if you travel to Amsterdam but you have to be carefully, really!

Wednesday 5.6.2014 Second day in Amsterdam

Hi!

Today I went for a running with mummy on the morning. After that we had a breakfast at the hotel but I have to say eating when all food has to be gluten free (and I don't like most of different foods) is not the easiest thing when you travel. But it's not impossible. Todays activities were seeing more city, science house Nemo and shopping!





Local dinner, mashed potatoes with carrot and onion + cheese croques

vanHaren 15€ (20€)

C&A 15€

C&A 25€ (30€)
