It’s honestly not worthwhile postponing the decision to buy something. I found a fabulous bag and decided to hint to T on my upcoming birthday. Went to the store to show it to him, and there were none left. I was told there wouldn’t be any. So yesterday I bought another one instead. Today I passed through the store, and what do we have there? The exact bag I wanted in the first place! Good thing I hadn’t used the other one yet so I can return it. But still, all the fuzz…

I look out the window at the rain and stormy wind and can’t believe it’s only July 31^st. It smells of autumn too! Since I’ve been working the whole summer, the relatively *humid* weather hasn’t really bothered me, though. But I guess it’s going to be hard getting adjusted to the Spanish heat in a couple of weeks? Last summer it was different. The awful heat throughout the summer made me get used to it and Italy, even Rome, was nothing.

I love seeing the tourists around Helsinki. It’s fun listening to them talking, speculating about people and the sights :) Also plenty of Finnish tourists. It reminds me of not taking my surroundings for granted. This young girl exclaimed in the tram that “I’ve only seen such big ships in my dreams,” when sighting the Silja Line cruise ship to Stockholm.
