Special Guests?

Well, it wasn't really that they stayed at mine's, but they came in the morning and we walked and talked and I did kick a dog. This means, Keijo and Virve (HC, CS) came from Joensuu to visit Helsinki area for 3 days. Virve messaged me in the early wednesday:"What we should do?" I invited whole family (Viivi and Keijo and cute Niila, lappish dog) to visit my house. And they came. I played with Niila and talked with Virve, drinked coffee with Keijo and we walked around the city until Niila got thirsty and we got hungry.

Fast trip to the shop and then to home to make some delicious food. I cooked rice, vegetables with coconut cream, Virve doesn't like coconut, so they made some sausage-stuff for themselves. And then again a bit of coffee. They left in the early evening and I slept good long night dreams.

We saw eachother again on Thursday. I had settled a meeting with some friends in the evening in Suomenlinna, so did Keijo and Virve with Teemu and Alisa. I went to meet whole gang. Couples together, I feel so welcomed in that kind of crews. Anyways, day went fastly. We had good talks about life and things with others. At home I was fastly checking out the mails and talked a bit with Kliment (HC, CS) and he told that we is moving soon, so someone needs to take care of booze what he has at home. I helped him with taking a good care of booze: bottle of sparkling wine, red wine and vodka. And in the evening of Thu came Katja (my finnish friend from Tampere). She was ready stay at mine until today. So she did, with small changes.

On Friday we spent lazy summer day in the city. Walked around, bought some small stuff: I got some cd (Nina Simone) and books (Jules Verne, comics) as a bday presents for myself. Friday was also the Night of the Art. There was lots of happenings around the city. We went to Like bookstore and Stupido recordshop. After that a beer in Loose and then to home through Lasipalatsi (Glass Palace) where they showed Casablanca on a huge screen. I was planning to see Strange Fruits show. They performed at 00:00 next to the Parliament House. Suddenly the day changed to Saturday, my bday, and I opened a sparkling wine (small bottle) on a yard with a sight of a nice performance. I walked home, tried to get contact with Katja and ended to home for a small chat on the internet. I slept when Katja tried to call me. In the morning I was already at work just after 7:00.

After works, I had to bake a cake, I had invited some people to visit me for coffee and cake, so there was a delicious cake with banana and strawberries. At four came Sami (HC/CS/BW) and at five Tiina and Katja. Later on again Sami with his friend, Kaisa, Jenni, Riikka and Julieta. We celebrated a bit with red wine and continued to the bar at 20, came back before 23. I had small chat again and fall a sleep early while Katja wanted to meet some friends on the city.

On Sunday we needed to wake up early. I got an cruise ticket to Tallink new boat as a bday presents from my uncle, so we decided to use it right after the fest. With Kaisa, Katja and Tiina we went to Tallinn, stayed there some 7h, walked around and came back to home. Today was first day of this years academic life. I guided rookies and will do the same for 4 days in a row now. That's all about hosting right now. Next guest will be right after the coming weekend, which I will spend in Savo on our family autumn festival.
