Second day

Party-day in brief.
Coffee in the morning while I wrote a card to a friend. It was Rasmus birthday so we went to drink a glass of exclusive champagne, and it was sooo good. Wish I could have afford a bottle.
Then we met up with friends in a park. We drank wine, ate strawberries and played mini-crockett:) Unfortunately the weather wasn't so warm so we went out to a bar later on.
It was a fun day!

Berlin: the first day

We arrived early in the morning to Friedrichshain where our friends now live. They have a really nice flat, wish I could move in.
When we visited them last winter they lived in Kreuzberg but had to move away because of a leaking rooftop.. I wrote about that in this post.

I had slept very poorly the night before on hard benches at Helsinki airport (!)
So I took a two hour nap and then we went out walking around their hoods.
It rained, we bought "some" wine and I met a sweet dog named Don:)

And it was only the beginning.

Back!

I'm back! Berlin was OH so great. I already miss the city, the people and the liveliness.
I took a lot of pictures. Think I'm gonna post many of them here, but for now only this picture.

I also met Sandra! It was so nice to see her after following her blog many years. She was just as nice in real life too:)

More Berlin pictures will be up here tomorrow.

Hope you are all fine:)

Blossoms

BAH I must bore you with all these nature pictures. I just think it's so fascinating to see how it's summer again (after again a looong winter) And I do think it's beautiful.

But be ready for some concrete soon, Berlin calling! :)

Tearing down the house

Suddenly they started to tear down a old abandoned house next to where I live. While I was eating icecream and taking pictures, of course.

Celebration

Two of my cousins got their matriculation exam yesterday!
It was party day and night with family and friends, fun fun!

Hope you all had a nice weekend.

A day off

Figs, yum. Breakfast today was turkish yoghurt with figs, chia and sunflower seeds + agave syrup.
I went to our allotment to sow some coriander and more salad. Friend E had been there almost the whole day, and it looks so nice there. Everything has almost been planted.
Now it's waiting, watering and keeping the weeds away that counts!
Luckily we got some huge redcurrant bushes on the lot, looks like we'll be getting a lot of berries! There are also blackcurrant and raspberries, yay:)
A new green smoothie: Coconut water, spinach and mango (I used frozen mango cubes) + a little agave syrup for sweetness.

Nice to have a day off like this. One day work tomorrow and then it's w e e k e n d.

7 days

- it's getting greener and greener!
- time for summer food!
- tomatoes + tomato mozzarella salad
- a new/old jumper for late summernights, just in case it gets chilly..
- I made a little cheramic "thing" for a necklace
