SP 12/week 11

What is the best thing you’ve ever received in the mail/post?

I have to say my wedding ring.
I met the goldsmith in this wedding "fair" and told him what kind of ring I would like. He drew the first version on paper and it was exactly what I wanted so I asked him to make one. And b/c we lived in another city, he posted the ring. It was very exciting to receive the ring two weeks before the wedding. I have to admit that I did try it on few times :)

What Olympic event would best describe you knitting/knitting style?

SP 12/week 8 and vacation stuff :)

Question for the week 8:

What is your favorite supper for a hot summer evening?

BBQ. With some really nice salad. Chicken is my favourite. Other choice would be salmon with new potatoes.

***************************************

Okay, this is the end of my summer vacation. It's back to work on Monday. It's been fun. I went to my dad's with kids by bus. Nice adventure for the children. This week we went to Tampere by train. That trip was brilliant. We stayed in a hotel for one night (we slept like babies b/c we walked something like 6 hours during that day). We've been taking it easy. Eating berries, ice-cream and enjoying the Finnish summer.

Loma on nyt sitten tässä. Maanantaina töihin. Loma on ollut ihanan rentouttava. Ollaan oltu ja nautittu olosta. Marjoja ja herneitä sekä jädeä mennyt kauhiat määrät :) Lomareissuja tein poikien kanssa kolmestaan kaksi. Mun isän luokse bussilla ja Treelle junalla. Treella oltiin hotellissa yötä ja uni maistuikin maratonikävelyn jälkeen hyvin.
