Whaaat?! TEN days ago since I last wrote?!?
WHOA, that time went like a jetplane on speed. Gawd!

Not that much extra has happened acctually. This week has been full of trainings and deliveries and drop in's and health stands and.. Just plain stressful. But today was quite a quiet day in the office, so no worries there.

The D day is even closer now.
And my birthday is coming up.

No plans for the weekend. I have the house to myself though.
Maybe a party for all my friends here in Oxford? Wow! One so far :D

Going home for two weeks.

Okay, the Day with capital D is closing.

On friday the 18th of December, I'm catching a plane to Stockholm Skavsta and then I'm taking the morning boat from Stockholm towards Åbo.
"Huh? Why not fly directly to Finland" you might ask?
The only answer I will be giving is there is a reason for it (obviously).

Gonna say hello to my friends in Pargas, some of them will probably be pretty surprised to see me. Hopefully at least some of'em will be glad :)
The ones I've spoken to about my plans have been very positive to the idea, seeing as they've thought I wouldn't be coming home a all during the year.

I'm waiting for the holidays like a little child is waiting for Santa. Who wouldn't?
I haven't seen my friends for four months, and then the special little twist I might talk about some day. I remember sitting on the back entrance's stairs of my old work place, talking with my colleague about me "only having 70 days of employment left". That' quite a while ago... :)

And WILL I go out partying with them? Sure will! Let's just hope I can sleep somewhere :D

Halloween in London

So. Last weekend was Halloween. Just a few days before the weekend, my cousin asked me if I wanted to come to London for a fancy dress party. Since it was only a few days before, and I had no idea what to wear and I recently lost my wallet with all my credit cards in it, I had say no. Then she came up with the brilliant idea that I should dress up as Håkan Hellström, a Swedish singer/songwriter.

“Just put on one of those hats of yours, and write ‘Ta mig till kärlek’ on a white t-shirt or a piece of cardboard, and that’s it!”

That persuaded me, I loved the idea of being dressed up at HH! And so, I bought a return ticket to London and went out scouting for a nice white shirt and a t-shirt. This after looking on pictures of Håkan, so I could get the best available clothes.

When I came to London on Friday night, I met up with my cousin and we went for a glass. We watched a bit of A clockwork orange when we got to my cousins boyfriends house. Interresting movie.

On Saturday morning we went out hunting for braces, the only thing my dress didn’t have yet. Took a good few stores before we found some nice green ones.

When we got back to the house, there wasn’t much time left before we had to leave to the party. Neither one of us knew what size of a party it would be, but once there we got surprised on many people there were. We saw everything from the devil and Wednesday Adams to an Egyptian Pharaoh and a dead nun. Oh, and not to forget, the party thrower. He had the best Joker make up I’ve ever seen, and had a nurses dress on. Priceless! I had a really good time on the party, talking with random people about.. well, anything that came to mind.

Some people tried to pronounce the text on my T-shirt, some of them actually got it quite right, but no one understood what it meant, and thought they were being stupid. The sentence “It’s Swedish for ‘Take me to love’” made a few light bulbs glow..

On Sunday we watched the last bits of A clockwork orange and then I had to start packing so I wouldn’t miss my bus back to Oxford.

This Halloween was the best one 'I’ve ever had! Thank you Sofia and Ant, for everything! I owe you big time.

This is me as Håkan Hellström

This little beauty sat outside the main door.

PS. My cousins blog. Mainly in Swedish. A few posts back there are more photos from the party, but take your time and read som other posts aswell :)

PPS. Sorry for the bad image quality. Someone should take their time and teach me how to do it properly.
