Midsummer post
Happy Midsummer Everyone!
I hope you had as much fun as I did with my sisters and nieces and nephews and sons and brothers in law. We rented a cabing from the place where we used to have children camps when I was younger. Place had changed so much. But at least the main building was the same. We swam and ate good food and swam and sauna some more and ate again good food and went back to sauna and put kids to bed. My boys were totally exhausted. Then we adults sat next to fire and talked and watched the Finnish summernight and roasted marshmallows and drank beer or cider. All in all a very good Midsummer's eve, if you ask me.
Summer has been eventful so far. It's been warm with occasional cold fronts.... Two weeks ago me and my friend went to cycle at Aland. That's an autonomic island between Finland and Sweden. It belongs to Finland, though they speak almost only Swedish in there... ANYWAY, they have awesome roads to cycle and ferries to hop from island to island. We had three nights four days trip and had very hot and sunny for the first three days. Last day it rained almost non-stop when we took our last 30 km to the harbour where our boat took off towards Finland. It was absolutely amazing trip and I had been dreaming about that for years, and now I got to do it with my dear friend too.
Last week Boy has been in soccer school and enjoyed it. And this weekend was Midsummer... This week I need to clean up my house rather deeply.. I will also get my bicycle back and need to start planning Boy's birthday. He'll be 7 soon and start school on August. My little baby is big boy already...
Brat (my youngest) is bit slow on developing his speech but somehow I see loads of develope just during last month. We started speech therapy with him, slowly, and I will try to learn Finnish sign language as well to help.
As for myself and feelings, this summer has been rather easy, so to speak. While I still feel alone sometimes, it's not that bad or crushing feeling anymore and to be honest sometimes I really feel I would do much better to stay a single as well.. Meh, well at least until I notice that in all our family gatherings I'm only single one with everyone else in relationship of sorts.
From the start of July I'll have boys with me for two weeks. We have already planned a trip to a day cruise with my sister and nieces. And then we should visit lots of relatives and try to go to couple of amusement parks at least. And then there's birthday party... After that I have two weeks solely for myself. Need to plan something. Maybe I'll go to dance or something....
