You'll only hear about this for two weeks!

Giving myself another few days before I bring in the suitcase and kind start throwing things inside. Till then I'm really thinking about finding a bucket or a cardboard box and starting with that... I've made way too many lists I've lost of "Things I Cannot Possibly Forget" which include such essentials to my Finnish life as: - my bus and library cards (there is no life if they're not there) - my K-plus card (because it's always there with the other cards) - Finnish SIM card (if it still works, maybe I should check...) - collection of reflectors (a month or two till we need those all the time) - at least three of my Marimekko bags (maybe I should wash them beforehand) - super duper winter tights collection (because I'm hardcore and wear skirts when it's freezing) - soap (because why buy savon de Marseille abroad when you can bring your own) - ... (that's pretty much all I've thought of so far) I clearly have my priorities in the proper order right there. Also the other day I checked something on Reittiopas for the first time in a year and it felt like seeing an old friend again. Till then... more sunshine, more hot temperatures. This week here - sun, min 20°C, max 30°C. In Helsinki - a bit sunshine, a bit of clouds, a bit of rain, mix 13°C, max 20°C. But hey, the day is still longer in Helsinki! Sunrise almost an hour earlier and sunset 30 minutes later! ( +4 - did everyone see the transition with the bucket? )

Et maintenant à la caravane!

Sooner or later I'm bound to get to the photos of the lads of the Tour de France but before they came along there was the caravane. Now we all know why the caravane is awesome, it's because throw stuff and you have catch it (think back to our haul from Massat in 2009). Except on the Champs-Elysées either they usually run out of stuff or they just deem it too dangerous. Most likely the latter but we'll pretend that they're meanies and just didn't want us to have a few extra useless caps that one can only use to protect one's hair (kinda) while painting. Still, the huge lion got an update this year! ( +12 - from Lux to baguettes )
