Frost is the greatest artist in our clime - He paints in nature and describes in rime

What the fuck?
That was my morning reaction today as I have been taking a look outside the window. Wuhaaa, it is froggy and looks totally cold. Now on my way to university I got the proof that it is fuckin' cold. The minus degrees arrived Tampere, means -1degree at the moment. That's not too bad but it'll get worse, for granted.
The weather forecast give green light to sun at least so I guess honey and me will spent the weekend outside. If hopefully nothing happens, like illness again or something.

I haven't been sleeping well the last two nights. Okay, some might say that it is no surprise but this time it was some other reason. It is all about this fuckin' cramps in my abdomen. Yeah, every month the same fun.
Took a bunch of painkillers yesterday and wasn't able to move for hours. I felt better in the evening, even ate something but at night it started to so badly again. Until this morning at about 6 a.m. the painkiller did not work. Juhuu, means a disturbed sleep and being totally fucked up as I got up at half past seven this morning. Sigh.

Anyway I managed to get up. That's something at least. I also prepared some food for honey cos she has got a long university day today. She won't be home before 15.30 o'clock I guess. I have been baking some roll and put salami and remoulade on it, then did some tomato-mozzarella-noodle salad in a rush and put those things with her joghurt drink and water bottle into her bag. Cos she was late like always in the bathroom. Haha.
I hate not seeing her for so many hours. Hmm. Sigh.

At the moment I am sitting at university, not knowing what to do cos the lecturer is talking and talking and talking and I am not interested in it. It is the same staff like he has been telling last week. Sigh.
Fortunately it takes place in some computer class today. So I can do what ever I want at the internet, like writing this shit here. Hehe.
The course lasts until twelve and then I am off as my Newspaper Language teacher is in Canada this week. Great.

I planed to do some houseworks today, like doing some laundry again and cleaning a bit but I am not sure if I'll manage cos I need to do my online-course homework first and then I have got Finnish course later.
Let's see.


Oh by the way, I just discovered that I had the thousandth pageview yesterday evening. Sounds great.
Okay dear people, who ever is reading this, feel free to give some comments. I love to read.

No idea what else to write about. So I should stop for the moment...

Just some picture of myself left, that was taken on sunday also.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

Ok, I promised some review of the last days.
A short summary of the not that great things: University is stressing and my health sucks.


Tuesday was full of rain and nothing more. I felt bad and didn't have a good time at all that day. Except of some hours as I had a visitor here at my place and I just felt comfortable.
I don't know if it is the autumn-mood or my state of health or whatever that makes me feel that down at the moment.
Anyway, wednesday wasn't that different from the day before.
I got some visit, too. This time in the early morning. Just enjoyed it. Later I fell asleep (like almost everyday) and we went to university in the evening for our Finnish Society and Culture course.
It was ... okay. Topic was Finnish literature, so you can guess that I have been at least somehow interested.
It was sad they didn't tell anything about the current authors. Hmm...

Thursday began with university again. I managed the first three hours but then my body did not allow me anymore. I was - to say it like that - visiting the toilet and just went home to stay in bed and relax a little bit. Cos I had to go to the Finnish course anyway. Have been missing already and it lasts just two more weeks. Exam is at October, 5th.
We were honestly bored at the Finnish course because we just did simple stuff.
So the problem is definitely not the grammar but the talking. I should dare more often to use the Finnish language. Easily said...
As we were on our walk back home Dany got a phone call. A friend asked to show up and have some drinks with us.
Yay, I felt so like drinking that day. I loved him for the suggestion.
We went to the supermarkets to get our stuff, started drinking already and waited a while. Yeah, Finns. ... They show up when they are in the mood to. At about midnight he finally came along with some friend of himself.
The two guys were staying for about 3 and a half hours. We just have been talking, talking and even more talking. Had a lot to laugh and discuss about. Drank some beer, cider and in the end some Vodka.
I just enjoyed this night. And as it seemed all the others as well.

Luckily I didn't have a hangover the next day. But still felt sick. I have been sleeping very very long that day and just got up for preparing dinner.
As there was some phone call again and the question to show up at his place to have some nice hours together.
Yeah, do it, we decided. Went to his place, had some tea and juice. Watch some clips, listened to some songs, talked and laughed even more. Can't remember the last time the both of us - Dany and me - were so fuckin' relaxed. Hmm.. sigh.
Oh and I totally fell in love with his two cats. ♥♥♥ Even though the one was always crawling into the bag we were not allowed to take this beauty with us. Hrmpf...
After about four or five hours we went back home to just fall into bed and sleep. (at least dany did immediately, for me - like always - it took some time)

And today?
Hmmm........... Sigh. Nothing.
We were staying in bed, cuddling and just enjoying being together. Just went out for some little trip to the supermarket cos we needed kidneys and milk. I made dinner and we headed back to bed. Watching 'Ghost Whisperer' and held each other close.
I like days like those. ♥

Now, as it is after midnight, we have to celebrate something.
Our 1000 Days anniversary.
Yeah, I know it is stupid to count the days, but everyone else is celebrating yearly or monthly anniversary, we wanted to do something special.
Actually we planed to go out to have some dinner but as I don't feel very well at the moment I am not that hungry that I'd like to eat somewhere else.
I guess we will just have some nice walk tomorrow and at night we will go to Groove's VIP party and have some drinks.
Short: Just loving each other. ♥♥♥

In summer, the song sings itself.

We actually spent so many hot summer days within the last weeks that I haven't been able to write here regulary. We spent days in the parks, at the lake and at the balcony. Just enjoyed the sunshine and had fun.

Tammerfest happened actually without us.We were only supposed to go to two gigs but we had to skip one as we didn't get into the bar anymore. Too full. But anyway we had a nice day at Dog's Home, with the nices company ever. :)
The other gig we finally attended was just HOT. Because it felt like sauna in that little cafë.

After all, I didn't like the city to be that full and I just did not want to see anyone of those people.
So it was very very welcome that - as we had a nice hang-out at Sorsapuisto - we were invited to spent a night and day at Pälkäne at some house.

Got there with the guys and had a lot of fun and way too much alcohol to be honest.
Can you imagine that we almost managed to empty 24 beer, 32 lonkero, a bottle of Vodka and a bottle of Brandy at one night with five people?
I still feel sick when I am thinking about that.

To make it short: We drank a lot, ate delicious food, went to Sauna (NAKED!! Oo) and several times swimming (also NAKED!!!), sat outside and enjoyed the lovely summer night, talked, sang and talked even more.
I just remember that I fell asleep at about 7.30 a.m. and got up at 12 p.m. again. A bit troubled by the tiredness and maybe a lil bit hangovered.
After a tasty breakfast we went to do some 'sightseeing' and swimming again before we got home to Tampere at about 6 p.m. again.

That was the weekend I needed so much. Even though I was fucking tired I felt totally relaxed and so much better after my 'bad-mood' week.
Thanks in that case to Dino, Jaakko and also his brother Mikko. We enjoyed being together with you.

Tomato-Mozzarella-Salad and Bratwurst

Easily made and entirely tasty:

5 Tomatoes
2 Mozzarella

1/2 red paprika

green salad
Spices

4 Bratwurst

• Cut tomatoes, paprika and mozzarella into pieces and mix it with the green salad.

• Use spieces like salt, pepper and tomato-flavour-salt
• Fry the sausages and cut them into bite-sized pieces

• All together served on a plate

• If you want add some dressing or do your own

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

Aww, this beautiful girl is mine. ♥♥♥
That cute in her sleeping dress, ready to cuddle with me in bed. ♥

Short summary of the day:
An appartment-showing that was in vain.
And then a cloudburst that wet me from top to feet.
So, what else to do than going home.

We decided to have cuddling hours at home with some tasty salad and Bratwurst (btw: I can't take the Finnish language serious when they create words like: braatvursti, sorry. ^^).


[More about this Tomato-Mozzarella-Salad: HERE]


And some more episodes of 'TrueBlood'.


Niin, kinda relaxing evening and now I spent a few minutes writing some new shit and honey is lying beside me, reading her book.

Good Night, Tampere!

White Bread

It was baking time this week. As we didn't want to eat the bought bread anymore I decided to do some white bread by myself. Here is the result:

I guess it is kinda delicious and really really simple to make.

You just need:
625g flour
a lump of yeast (about 42g)
2 tsp salt

500ml water
→ everything together in a bowl and kneading
→ 200°C 1 hour

Starting to get hungry

While I am waiting for Dany, who's still at university, I have to fight with my stomach. Cos it is so fucking hungry. I didn't have breakfast or anything and I want to wait with lunch until she's back. Hopefully she's coming soon.

Because of this I unpacked some pictures from last week's cooking.

Some noodle-chicken-pan

And of course not to forget my bread backing. I didn't want to eat this ruis-leipä anymore so I decided to bake some very simple white-bread. And it tastes fucking good.


Wanna see how it is made? Check out this: RECIPE
Gotta go and bake some new one, as it is almost gone. :o)



I am still feeling a bit sick. Took some medicine today and went to bed again for some hours. It worked. I feel a lot better now. But still I guess I should take it slow, otherwise I won't make Vappu.
So I decided not to go to the Finnish Class today. I am going to tell the teacher I am ill, what's actually true.
It is not like I'd miss a lot there, since it is everything familiar to me and actually totally boring. I am just waiting for the advanced courses but they start in summer. Sigh.

And it seems also I am not going to Ruma tonight. Would love to see if the guys suck covering Nirvana or if there might be a chance I'd like them.

You never know.

You give a kiss to a good friend

Or better say a 'küsschen' ^^
Or sometimes two, or three or even more.

We received our parcels from Germany today. All three, one day. That was a hard carrying work, as we had to pick them up at Posti and at Siwa. Fuck, how my arms hurt now.

But... it was worth the carying. We got a lot of chocolate and other sweets to gain a lot of weight *sighs* :)
And all our stuff we bought in Germany and weren't able to take back by flight.
Like shoes, jackets, shirts and so much food.We unpacked all of those parcels and spread the whole stuff in the kitchen. It was so much work to get some order in it but finally I won.

We went to our lunch date with Olga and yeah I was so suprised. I really enjoyed the Russian food she did for us.


Now we'd like to cook this as well. Let's see if we'll make it.
Oh and this time it's our turn to cook for her. On monday I guess. Something German.


But actually I also realized today that we still need to make some friends here at Tampere. I mean real friends. Some people you can hang around with, go for a walk when the sun is shining, go for a coffee or a beer or to have a pizza. Not only those you meet at the weekend at night when you are drinking. I have got drinking friends, yeah. But now I need real friends.
To be honest it is not the easiest think for me to make friends, as I need a lot of time to trust someone and so on... So, niin, doesn't matter.

By the way: It was fucking nice spring weather again. Just about 9degrees today but a lot of sunshine.

I want more!!

♥

Niin kaunis päivä ♥

I love the spring days :)
For now, off to Olga's place. She is cooking for us. Let's see how Russian kitchen tastes like.
I am soo hungry. ^^"

Memories

Germany is way too long ago. I really enjoyed my holidays there. Mostly because I saw my family ♥ As you can see on the pic we had a lot of fun with my mum. The cocktail in Cologne really rocked. XD
We booked the new flights for our summer vacation yet. 31.07. - 16.08.
Still a long time to go but mummy is coming in about 10 days again to Tampere. ;o) That will be a rocking week.

While looking at the picture I realize how much I miss those days. The family, the food *hehe* and all what we did. We spent such a nice time in the bars :)


But now we do here as well. Weekend is calling. Tomorrow out at Dog's Home and maybe Tabu/Groove or something. Let's see.

Good night Tampere.
♥
