What a weird, busy and wonderful Sunday it has been in the countryside, you wanna hear about it? No, okay, I'm gonna tell you anyways because I like the sound of my own voice.
I woke up early, around 7am to take my Sunday Polaroids because I knew I had to be social for the day and I would have no time to be alone after the morning. And I was right.
After the pictures I bundled up in a wool knit and headed to breakfast downstairs. The rest of the family had just left for work and I stayed home with out guest. We spend the morning looking at airplanes in the radar he set for us, that was weirdly entertaining!
We spend a few hours just chilling, talking about tech a little and just random things. Right around noon we made a shift change with mom and I went for some manual labour for once! I definitely needed that because these days I spend soooo much time hunched over a laptop. We were working on a peat bog with dad and little bro for a few hours, while mom and our guest went to meet relatives. Once I got my part done in the bog, covered head to toe with peat, I hurried back home to cook us all dinner.
I made a simple ground beef sauce, pasta and a hefty salad, while everyone was arriving home for once at the same time! I don't remember when we had a dinner with this many people sitting around the same table at the same time. It was really good and fun, we chatted about our day and ate.
I has promised my grandma the day before that I'd visit, so right after dinner I went for a coffee to her house. Hadn't seen her in a while so we chatted for a good few hours. She had better coffee than we have at homehome, the place of tea drinkers. She also had some cake for me. As I have a sweet tooth, when I got home, mom was just putting a pannukakku (pancake in English, but it's not quite the same thing) in the oven and we had that with fresh berries she and our guest had just picked up while I was at grandmas house.
We had some evening tea and pancake, and three of us were with our laptops at the same time. I was going through my best nature pictures from the past year with mom, because she hinted at me that the annual Christmas newspaper is in need of pictures. I made a folder for her to submit in my behalf for the paper, so if I'm lucky, I could get something published in a real paper. It's not really a big deal, this is a tiny town, but still, would be cool! I'll definitely let you know if that happens.
My brother heated the sauna for us, third day in a row, so we could get rid of the peat and sweat, and relax after a good day. I had so much fun but I am quite exhausted now for all the socialising and running around. I'm a little sad that I didn't have time to take pictures today, other than these two phone snaps, and some in the peat bog, but those are for my dad for possible business purposes. I won't have more time to take pictures here this time, because tomorrow I'm heading back to the city, first thing in the morning. I think we are running some errands with mom, so more socialising ahead!
