nice days

this is how it looks like on most mornings now

there's been some especially nice days, i haven't reported.
i finally had a private date with F, went to Helsinki only to meet her. and her new baby B, who was mostly sleeping. i'm happy nothing happened to us even though we have lost the extremely regular meetings we used to have. i guess we will manage, and have a grown-up relationship. even if they would move to Sweden at some point. i remember from childhood how we always visited my mum's friends here and there on holidays or weekends.

i'm knitting a hat for me, for once. and i found a cute little woolen skirt for V - she always gets presents from town, i can't help it. here she's taking a photo of leaves, when we had a trip to Karkkila. (two wonderful flea-market finds there!)
she's using my beloved Ricoh GR1s, with real film. (only under supervision though)

yesterday we planted flower onions, or bulbs, and had soup, cake and pie with a friend family who came for a visit. it was a pre-party. i was born on a Sunday afternoon 34 years ago.

oh, and our neighbour's house is still for sale, now it's empty, and so beautiful.
