Day 50-51, Mar 19-20, Temp -6 - 10C
The weather these past few days was described as CRAZY! There were blizzard-like conditions for the two days, strong "gale" for the whole week...
Blizzards are really interesting here... the sky is blue and clear for a while, then suddenly in ten lightning minutes the sky becomes overcast. It then becomes really windy (gale) and chunks of snowflakes the size of your thumb starts falling like crazy! Strong wind and snow= Blizzard!! After snowing for twenty minutes the whole landscape falls back into winter scene: White! Then the clouds pass again and the sky becomes clear:D Then twenty minutes later, the sky becomes overcast and this time... it was really interesting, there was HAIL! It was the size of tiny ball bearings and the funny thing was the they were bouncing and rolling down the road:D Very interesting sight!
This is unfortunately the last winter storm before winter loses its strength and Spring comes it! The weather forecast is as follows for the next week: 4C on Tuesday, 6C, 8C, 9C, 10C, 11C, 13C for the following days. Oh yes, what a big jump! Spring is short here, only a couple of weeks! Today's temperature was already 10C under the sun! However, due to the really windy conditions, it felt like -5C.
Managed to buy some toilet paperi to wipe my ass! High quality "Lambi" on offer- at 4.40E for 12 rolls!WHAT A BARGAIN! And What I really respect is their transparent and "honest culture" in advertising ads. If the toilet roll says it feels like wool... IT DOES!! But to me it really felt like SILK:D Imagine wiping your ass with silk... HAHA MAKES YOUR DAY!:D:D And of course, those cheap ones, makes going to the bathroom an everyday hell as its as rough as sandpaper!!:...(
Work has been great as usual. Tuula the "Tomboy Aunty' found a bag full of injection syringes with blood and all... VERY CREEPY... I think she is the best person to work with!! She didnt' understand English and she speaks to me only in Finnish. Of course I have to play Pro so I always use "Joo, Kylla, Ei, Noniin" (Yes, ok, no, ok) hahahaha and other times we make actions like :make the bed action, clean the toilet action, arrange the tables action, time for lunch action etc etc + lots of weird sounds HAHHHA!!' Its eally FUN!:D
My bicycle is dead... I got fed up and left it somewhere on the street, didnt bother to find it:) Walking is better!!:D But I think its time to get another one soon! And I managed to get a job, woking at Fransmanni Ravintola Kitchen:D Im operating the dish washing machines, replenishing plates, do the bread butter etc etc." Its hectic but its definitely great FUN! Plus I have to wear a 'chef's" uniform and get paid a really handsome salary hehehehe:D I really hope I can earn my money back and lead a normal life here!!"
Oh yes Oh yes hahahah today something really funny happened!! There was a conference goin on and I was at the next room arranging tables and chairs. Once everything was done, I walked out of the room and switch the lights off! SUddenly, people in the next room were creating a commotion... Thinking they were having team building games, I walked off. Then someone came out of the room looking lost. I turned back and CRAPPPPP I accidently switched the lights off in the other conference room as it was pitched black LOLLLLLLLLLL!! I was so embarrassed and hid at one corner. When she walked back into the room, I hurriedly ran back to the room next door and switched the lights on!!! *Claps and cheers* once the lights came back on:D It was so FUNNY:D
Thats all for the week folks!!
