I tried to take a mirror self-portrait. Sometimes that works out somehow. The occasion: I did turn 38 some time ago. Birthdays call for portraits. (Little V turned 3 weeks ago and where is his portrait?? I always try to take the kid portraits on the actual day, but this time I have totally failed.)
We're painting in one place, packing in the other place. It's middle of the night, but we have a helper. Him and Y are heading to the house in the darkness. I made a packing list for tomorrow.
I come across such wonderful things while packing. All this music I have and all these movies he has and all these wonderful little unnameable things that I have hidden.
Looking forward to next week, quiet mornings and unpacking all this.

Kaaosmainen muuttoviikko meneillään. Mikä määrä tavaraa! Löydän pieniä aarteita, joilla aion vielä tehdä jotain. Aion alkaa säännölliseksi pölynpyyhkijäksi. Siellä uudessa kodissa. Olen 38 ja joitakin päiviä.
We buried our old cat in the end of last month. He slept away at the vet. Sleep away, that's finnish. I had him for 16 years, he was always there for this family. He's buried at a grassy spot in the forest where he used to sleep in summertime. At least I could give him a steady life with outdoors for the last 4 years of his life.
We're very busy with painting and packing, this is the point when it feels like the move is not possible. But of course it has to be done. It will be so good to finish the going back and forth, it's very tiring to be in between places.
I will go and attend a wedding tomorrow. Meet a lot of relatives.
I listen to Cat Power: "Sun".
We will go, we didn't go yet. Although we go there almost every day. It is called Oak corner. There's a big oak tree, well on the corner of the yard.
The house needs massive electricity renovations, that came as a surprise. The electricity fixtures are totally haphazard. We don't have to pay for the renewal work, which is good. And we got a little and cute electrician to do the job! (I really don't get it why someone who isn't an electrician would pretend to be one. The previous owners have been lucky not having any accidents.)
We talk about colours, it's way too white as it is. The house is also missing quite many final details, like the boards between floors and walls. So after all that fixing we will be there for good. Until then, back and forth.
Beautiful dancers will move into Manteli!

Valkoista on siellä, vaan ei kauan! Sähkötöissä menee kauemmin, joku on vähän fiksaillut sähköjuttuja omin päin. Tai ei vähän, vaan tosi paljon. Iso sähköremontti ennen kuin voidaan kunnolla muuttaa. Listoja puuttuu myös, mutta kyllä siitä tulee koti. Tammikulma.
