There are always "useless" essentials when packing to move somewhere for a long time, sometimes it's worth sacrificing an extra shirt or skirt to bring some else along.



This time I took this soap and some lavender with bits of lavender in it. I remember that back in 2008 I didn't bring any but then I got some during a visit. Nothing like proper local soap!

+3 - I guess these are important too )

Things I'm not doing right now: being productive. But hey, whipped out the ziplock bags and found my suitcase, that's already a start in the right direction!

Meanwhile at night... dum-dum-duuuuummmm!



+2 - yeah, that's the results of my dad's solar powered new lamps )

Today's existential question: just how much underwear do I need to bring with me? 14, a bit of an overkill? Yeah, that's what laundry days are for!

And who the hell turned up the heat? It's starting to beat a bit impossible not to sweat just while sitting doing nothing... cleaning out my closest is making me look like I've just ran a mile under 7 minutes!

At least the nights are now a tad cooler. Wait, didn't I write about this yesterday already?



+2 - having fun at night )

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? )
