Okay, let's try...


I've seen people doing this in their Blogs often, to cheer them up, to make them see what are the best things in their lives at that moment. It seems to work too, so I'll give it a try! A happy list.

Mine has a little twist to it though...I'd like to call it a motivational list. A "Motivational Monday list"( yes I know it's thuesday now, but I was supposed to do this yesterday...). I'll try to gather up all the things that could motivate me on a dull Monday things to be happy about, and things that prepare me for the new week.

I've had a shitty day today. I have a terrible cough and a terrible headackhe. I wen't to the doctors yeasterday and got some nice white pills and some horrible tasting cough syrup(that doesn't work). Now I'm anxiously waiting for the pills to kick in! Being ill all the time time is starting to get old.

Oh yes the list...
Things that keep me going this week:

This is it movie on Wednesday - fun weekend in Tampere - My home - sewing - going through old photos - taking photos - searching trough the internet for schools I might apply to.


That's it for this week. A bit lame start in my opinion....I'll try to do better next week. But at this state of mind, finding something motivating is a triumphant succes, believe me! But you know...this list making kinda helped. Now I'll get my self some Earl Grey tea and curl up to the sofa. <3

It was so much fun! London always delivers! Good friends, good mood, fine dining, partying 'till the morning, no worries, shopping, excellent hotel, a date, sightseeing---perfection.

We wen't to Brick Lane area which is located in the eastern London. I had never been there before, but sure will go again! That was my kinda place. Laid back people with good attitude and style. Lot's of cool shops and few vintage and desing markets on a weekend. Here's few places worth visiting there: Absolutely Vintage - went mad there, too much good stuff to choose from, Pop Up Market - full of designer stuff made from vintage materials a heaven on earth (shopping wise), Not UK Cafe (couldn't find a website)- best sandwiches I have found in London and the atmosphere is perfect.


Sure we did all the sightseeing and Madame Tussauds too, 'cause this was L's first time in England. Trafalgar square at night is gorgeous. I could go on about my trip for days, but instead I'll keep it in my heart and feel happy!

Fountain on Trafalgar Square.

Absolutely Vintage

This necklase I bought from the Pop Up Market...I LOVE IT!





Go to London...I guarantee that if you keep your eyes open and try new things, you'll have the time of your life!

Need a good laugh?


Once again, I've been on a sick leave from work...because of my back this time. It's getting better allready I think, but that keeps me stuck inside my apartment. Few of my friends have kindly taken the dogs out, so I don't have to. Thank god for them!

The problem is that it's really boring just to hang around the house by myself, so I decided to finally order Fawlty Towers DVD box from CDON.COM. They had sale too so perfect timing. I got the DVD's today. Such a good decision to order it! I can't remember when, for a while, I'd have laughed this much! The show hilarious!! I've watched it at my sisters place in England, and I think it has aired in Finnish TV sometimes too, so I knew what I was buying.

Fawlty Towers is a BBC production from the 1970s'. The plot goes basically like this:

"Inept and manic English hotel owner and manager, Basil Fawlty, isn't cut out for his job. He's intolerant, rude and paranoid. All hell frequently breaks loose as Basil tries to run the hotel, constantly under verbal (and sometime physical) attack from his unhelpful wife Sybil, and hindered by the incompetent, but easy target, Manuel; their Spanish waiter. Written by Rob Hartill "

Very simple, but oh so entertaining! If you ever get the chance to watch it, do it! I thinks this DVD box will save my day many times in the future.



Here's one excellent episode that I laughed straight through!
