Since, and, well, because.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, ( Read more... )

As might be self-evident, I managed to fill my days with work and not writing. Plenty o'work here. Silly, really. Evidently Xmas-time is hectic at the City Hall. I'm staying here the next weekend as well, so no rest and recreation for jukkahoo this weekend. Money is such a poor excuse for a loss of freetime ( Read more... )

Plus 962 words. OK, I'm in a slump.

Tomorrow, even less time to write than today. Gotta babysit the Lord Mayor to Sipoo asukasilta... Strong fighting words, thems.

Weekend ended with 3649 words. I'm ahead! *sigh* This is where it normally stumps. Early success, followed by days when there is simply no time or effort to keep up with the pace of 1667 words per day.

This is truly a happy occasion and I believe ALL our readers will join Sari and me as we wish all the best for the happy couple!

Marriage is a big step in any relationship. It ( Read more... )

Weeks like this are really, really nice. Last week wasn't bad either. I quite like working weeks that end by Thursday. Likewise, I'm more than fond of working weeks that begin Tuesday. Now, if only we'd get more of these.

It is an absolute delight to wake on mornings and realise: "Hey, I don't have to go to work! And the same goes for tomorrow, too ( Read more... )

Easter. Apparently someone died a while ago and workers get few days off because of. Thanks.

I've been mostly thinking about the Åcon2 programming, book reviewing and murals. A mural, to be exact. I've been painting this big red cat, but I really need to get better brushes in order to finish the work. It looks good enough for now, but I'll be ( Read more... )
