Waiting for Vappu

Sitting in the sofa waiting for Stefan and Phillip. Phillip has just arrived from Germany, he was an exchange with Stefan, 3 years ago already! Time flies! I'm waiting to see him and relaxing for Vappu! Let's hope we get some better weather than today...

Faro met his first love today, a golden retriever. First time he was interested in girls in you-know-what-way:-D

Let's hope after Vappu I have some time and energy to upload some pics.

Alice, Wonderlands and other stuff

I started with Ashtanga yoga again since I found a course in the work building. After only a couple of times I can feel how good it is for my back since I sit all day at work.

We're gonna also start a puppy course with Faro soon, let's see how that goes :-) He is usually obedient but when there is other dogs around he don't really concentrate, basically we hope he will learn this is in the course. let's see how it goes. I did some fetching with him today in the forest and we lost he's toy in the wet snow. it just disappeared under the snow and neither me not Faro could find it anymore, I have no idea what happened there but it seemed it vanished. :-)

Today I had to work for reporting, even if it's a official holiday, but to compensate we went to the movies afterwards. We saw the new Tim Burton movie Alice in Wonderland. It was not exactly what I expected, maybe I had to much expectations since so many people said it was so good. Neither I could see the point of 3D that everybody was saying was fantastic. The 3D glasses also annoy me. I wish it was possible to buy them in your own size as I have to always keep pushing them up my nose during the whole movie.

Anyway, I got a bit curios on how all the different versions of this tale differs and found a this article. It would be interesting to now see the old Disney version again, it isn't many years ago I read the book but I've managed to forget what happens in the original version. Somehow I can relate to this Alice and her being a bit distracted by her own thoughts all the time, but then again my middle name is also Alice :-P
