When did the summer end?!

I opened my eyes this morning, it was still a bit dark and hrr-freeezing!! Windy, rainy and only +10 degrees. What happened? Few weeks ago it was hotter than in southern Europe! I have the answer. It's autumn. I waited this soo much, but now that it's finally here, I'd kill to have the sun back, as well as an opportunity to lay on the beach.

International my life or what? I had two guys, originally from Pakistan staying at my place for a weekend. So enriching to discuss the differences between our cultures, and if I may say - there're lots of those! Still such funny boys!

Next guest will arrive on Saturday, Livio - my lovely friend from Napoli, Italia (living in Bremen nowadays though). He's staying for two nights, during moving our secondhand store Estheco to a new place to the centrum of Jyväskylä. Busy weekend ahead, but one couldn't be more excited!

My advise for this busy time of the year: 'Focus on those things that you love!'

Rally just keeps continuing..?

What a week! So much international flavour. Already on Wednesday, after having a dinner in restaurant Food with old friends, there was an incident in the centrum, don't know what happened though..



On Thursday started then the actual contest. My good friend, Joni also participated Neste Oil Rally, for the first time in his life. And he really made it! 53th place and reached the goal - which is already a big deal in this specific rally. Here's a pic of Joni's car before the rally..



The party after the rally on Saturday night was amazing, fireworks greater than ever. Sadly I was working. Though I was able see the real heart of the party.. survived without partying!




But does it ever end? It's the following week, still fast cars and foreign people can be heard and seen around the city. Hot-over+30-weather is reaching again central Finland coming weekend, so let's enjoy AUGUST!


Peace love and warmth, S
