Last Sunday we got tired of the city life and decided to go to Seurasaari, it's an island just outside Helsinki but you feel totally like on the countryside...except for all the tourists and people.
Here's some pics:
The sqiurrels were really friendly:
Almost swimming;-)

Lost Earrings and Roses
I love earrings and I have a lot of them but in the end I got super tired of always having to look for them as I am not a very organized girl. ( I admit it:-P). I've been looking around for a "earring holder" or whatever they are called but I haven't found one anywhere in Helsinki. So in the end I just fixed my own solution with a scarf and some nails:
At least temporarily it is better than having the earrings all around the flat:-D
Yesterday, we also had a little evening walk around the block in the nice weather and I couldn't get enough of the sweet smell of roses. In the end I decided to take the smell home. Instead of putting some aromatic oil in the oil burner I put some fresh rose petals in some water.
We had rosy dreams but in the morning the rose petals didn't look so nice:-P

Exercises
It's good to stay in shape so lately we have been doing some yoga;-)
We also biked 30 km from my parents place in Liljendal to Loviisa. First of course we had sauna at a friend's place and not to get tired many pauses on the way. It felt easier when we were heading for the big party in town:-P
Halfway we met also most of our parents so in the end we were a lot of people
and this weekend we did the exercise of "flankyball" in my graduation party:-D I promise it's hard exercise, but fun! At least my legs were really hurting the day after...
to get some balance to the "all" the exercise I went to see the summer theater of Lurens the other weekend, to fill my culture quota;-) This year they did the quite serious Amadeus because they have been running for 50 years, but they did it really well and it was nice being there again. I've contributed myself standing on the stage in year 2002 and 2006, in the fiddler on the roof and Sugar:-)
