fog day, outside

pictures from outside on that foggy sunday. i just couldn't get enough of it! and snow too. what a strange winter.
i'm so excited about having a clearer feeling that Manteli will be ready for us, and that it's going to be quite soon. i'm very curious to find out how it'll feel, to actually live there and have no small city flat to get back to. i used to only dream of living in New York. and i loved Tokyo. and i have never ever lived somewhere contently, in every place there has been something wrong, or i've just known it's going to be temporary. our 'temporary' life in this flat has lasted for 3 (short) years - it's my second longest period in one place. me in the countryside. of course the difference is just that. it's us in the countryside.





i think having a forest is so important for a kid. i remember having very funny and very exciting games following footprints in the snowy forest. we were sure there was something strange going on: we heard morse signs from far away, and noted down letters. "the train at 10 in the evening, big load." and to have the freedom to let the kid go out on her own... V was very proud and happy to go out alone already. well, there was this guy to keep an eye on her.
