mehr berlin

All the more reason to look at Berlin pictures as the weekend brought us snow -- a lot of snow. Dislike. The weekend was nice though. A new dress, dinner at friends', friends for dinner. Another week is starting. It starts to feel like working life is no picnic. And studying at the same time. Dealing with all those people. And all those kids. But I still do like it.

one year ago

Almost one year ago we left for Japan. It was such an anticipated trip and it was wonderful and then it was done. And then one year passes. Spring, summer, autumn and winter. We're on skiing holiday now, but there's no snow, just ice and water puddles. And we're off to Berlin. 

Packing and cleaning for the cat sitter. Little V sleeping in the pirate ship (kitchen sofa) and V preparing a note book for the trip. All is well, except the weather.

These photos are from Kagoshima, Nagoya, Tokyo and Kamakura.

2 movies I liked recently: The Late Quartet (RIP PSH) and Bones Brigade.

Snow. Neige. 雪. 

Winter arrived, with a bit of snow and a lot of minus degrees.

This house, my beloved house, is very cold, colder than last year. 

Or maybe we were away for the coldest part of winter. 

It feels a bit unbearable, but we wear a lot of wool and we have very warm blankets.

I've been having a very nice week, but today something not so nice happened. 

I will have to talk about it and then I hope it will be ok. 

I have so many roles these days. 

I have a little sister and she's going to have a baby!

I have a little brother too, and his baby is 3 months old.

My babies are big and I love them soooo much. 

How is it possible that one gets the best babies in the world.

Good night

明けましておめでとうございます。

Happy new year! Bonne année! Gott nytt år! Gutes neues Jahr!

New year always makes me think of Japan a lot. We should have a new year's card workshop and send wishes to everyone we ever met. I'm not sure how that's gonna happen as THE HOLIDAY IS OVER!! School, work and kindergarten start tomorrow. Also my studies continue and I will have a translation job too. So full steam towards spring 2014. 

In these photos there is Akane at her grandparents' house, V photographing sakura, little V at a train station. (Still, I never did anything with my photos and the no-space-situation on my computer...) I miss Japan.

Onnellista ihanaa rauhaisaa uutta vuotta! Ehkä vähän pakkasta ja sitten pian kevät?
