Impossible is nothing

So...6 days in, I'd say the detox is going pretty well so far! Played floorball on Sunday, went to the gym after work on Tuesday, did Thai on Wednesday and I'm about to go swimming this evening :) Equally, there have been no trips to demonic places such as Hesburger and McDonalds! Not to be made more than 4 times a year, in my humble opinion.

I'm slightly distressed because my stock of Tetley teabags is rapidly running out...it may require a phonecall to ma mere for her to send me some Scottish Blend this time! tihi!

I'm being a bit of rubbish daughter since this Sunday is Mother's Day in the UK and on Monday it's Dad's birthday and I still haven't sent anything for either occasion. I have however got the gifts in my possession...sorry Mum and Dad! They will be winging their way to you very soon, promise!

I think I need to get a haircut soon, sometime before my trip to Ostrava would probably be good, and advisable!

So, the weekend has finally arrived! This week has been somewhat slow, certainly in comparison to last and probably because the office is quite empty at the moment with various people being on holiday. Nothing much really happened. Had my Finnish class twice this week though, which is nice. My teacher is sooo funny, really smiley and sooo enthusiastic, which makes all the difference! There's nothing worse than a dull teacher, how would you ever get motivation to learn anything. Ultimately, I can talk about myself in more detail, where I live, where I work, what my hobbies are, how old I am, where I come from etc etc! All of those things which would have been nice to know 5 months ago, but never mind! It's really good to know now. The odd thing with the state of my Finnish is that I think I actually know a lot of random words, but I don't know how to use them, so it's still very passive. However, this is changing thanks to the lessons because they are focussed of speaking the language! We just need "sisu" to get through it and master this beast of a language ;)

Well, I'm looking forward to the weekend cos I'll be taking a trip down memory lane, so-to-speak. It's time for the Aiesec cottage weekend in Ruovesi again. I participated in it shortly after I first arrived in Finland and it was a first in many senses for me, Finnish Sauna, Finnish lake swimming, Finnish forests etc etc...so this time I know the script at least and I can be a bit more prepared. It also coincides with the 60th anniversary of Aiesec in Finland so I expect there will be some serious partying to be had!

Righty ho, off for a cuppa and then for a swim!
Hyvää viikonloppua jokaiselle :=)
