How Temperamental.

Well, I survived yesterday, and today. I'm fairly positive about that.

I was meant to go into the town to meet my friend, but she had been out all night and had become sick so she couldn't come! Today was a freezing day too. ~7 degrees. Hahaha, I remember when anything over 0 degrees was warm, but after having a week of +15 degrees 7 is shocking XD
The strange part of today was the fact that one minute the sun was shining strongly, and you could get a bit of warmth from it, and then 15 minutes later, it's pouring with rain, and the wind is very strong. It even snowed a couple of times today, much to my surprise. Probably the last time I'll see falling snow for a very long time! The other strange thing is the light.
The sun rises so early and sets so very late. When I went to bed last night, (at around 3pm) I could see the light at the horizon. It wasn't very strong at this point mind you, but it was THERE. The sun takes forever to set here these days. When I was at the neighbours house for the evening this week, we sat outside warming the spa with firewood for hours, and there was still light! It must've been around 10.00 when I went went inside, and I could see everything clearly. It's only the beginning of May! I don't know what it's going to be like in July ^^

Here's a photo I took of two swans going down the river one day.

I helped my host father switch offices today, and got to see the production rooms of his welding company. It was amazing. The machinery was gigantic, and so were the things that they were welding. The rooms went on forever, and it all looked very confusing. But it was still very interesting to see where and how giant things are welded. The company makes things like parts for cruise liners which are often built in Turku. I saw pieces of a propeller for a cruise liner.
It.
Was.
Big.

When we drove home today from the house we stayed the night at, we borrowed their car, and therefore brought it back to them this afternoon (after we washed it and vacuumed it). But then we still had to get home somehow, so my host father called one of our other neighbours to come pick us up. So he picked us up in his Peugeot 307 CC. Hehe ^^ I like that car. As we were driving back home, I was startled to see some sailors from the navy waiting at a bus stop, in full sailor uniform with their hats and everything, and therefore had this entertaining conversation with our neighbour Sami.

Me: "Oh my gosh, Sailors! Did you see them?"
Sami: "... Sailors. They get all the girls."
Me: "Oh? How do you know that?"
Sami: "...Because I was one."
Me: O.o

Well, we came home, ate some Finnish style pie and I stayed in the sauna for agggeesss. I'm still so warm from it, and it's making me sleepy! I should have an early night... I haven't slept much this weekend.
Oh oh, Happy Birthday Sara! It's my little sister's birthday tomorrow (but it's already started in Melbourne due to time zones). I LOVE HER.


That, is all.
