(The Finnish holiday for celebrating the summer solstice)
Thursday:
I got off work, drove straight home to pick up the chocolate mousse I'd made the day before (quite delicious might I add) and then I was off to Adele's where we had a girls' night slash Milja's going away party. She left for Spain to be an au pair. She'll be back in three months but by then I'll be aupairing in Australia. Felt so weird saying bye and knowing that the next time we'll see each other will be almost a year from now. Anyhow we had a great time chatting and eating as always. We watched a stand-up comedy DVD (Sami Hedberg - Kokovartalomies) as many of us are big fans of stand-up, I included. Probably why I found it amusing that I'm flying to Australia with none other than... Aaaaair CHINAHHH XD (Just type "Air China" in YouTube if you don't get it even though you should.)
Friday:
I drove to Loimaa to visit my grandparents. Almost ate myself to death and then made a little bonfire with my brother as Juhannus is not a Juhannus without one.
Saturday:
My folks also came to Loimaa and we had a nice family day. We ate pancakes (the thin ones that Finns eat, not the thick American ones!) with ice cream and strawberries. Yum yum! When the folks headed back home I went to visit my other grandmother who also lives in Loimaa.
Sunday:
I headed back to Turku. Not home though! I decided to stop by Kaisa's. I helped her pile up some firewood in the storage and as a reward we got to take her step-dad's convertible for a spin. It was AWESOME. I don't think I've ever felt that cool in my life XD (Probably cuz I'm anything but... :D) After that we went to Bodybump.
Overall I had a great Juhannus. Had fun with my friends, a good time with the fam, slept well, ate well, even exercised a little... I'd say that my Juhannus was a success :) Now off to bed and back to work tomorrow.
G'night!
