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!
