Here again!

Well, I’m back, Tired, but pleased.
Been busy all day: washing clothes (one does sweat a lot in the sun…), looking through photos I took during my vacation, reading newspapers in Finnish (I did look at the news in the TV, but my Spanish isn’t that good –una cerveza, por favor is the most I can manage).
A whole week without the Net!

And tomorrow work. It’s raining, it’s grey, but I know now for sure that the sun does still exist! She’s just too damn lazy to travel here!

I’ll be visiting your blogs in some days, now I have to get some sleep. Meanwhile, enjoy photos from my trip:

See you later!

I’m leaving the country for a week, travelling to somewhere there hopefully is going to be sun and light.

Meanwhile, enjoy my Egyptian photo story until I’ll come back with new photos.

The Evident

The days are getting longer. There is no light, though. The greyness just lasts for longer, and the black hours are fewer.

How to survive autumn, how to cope with winter, how to live through the dark time, how to get by all the moody, gloomy and desperate hours until spring comes? These were the ultimate questions for me in September, in October, in November, in December, in January. Now it’s February, and I have my answer: I have survived, once again, but in honest: year after year those long months grow heavier, and already, although I’m heading towards light, sun and warmth, I’m horrified of the thought of the coming of a new fall and winter.

Pessimism? Maybe, but also a realistic. I know what’s waiting for us, for me. That won’t come as a surprise. The warmth of the summer, the night filled with whiteness won’t lure me. The glory of the long, hot summer is just a prologue to an endless time of the darkness.

Oh, I suck.

Sweet Sunday

Sweet Sunday,
sweet dreams linger in the shades,
sweet softness of your skin
still sleeping in the sheets.
Sunday, Sunday, the laziness remains
in my limbs,
whispers caress my ears
and I know there won’t be
Monday.
Sunday, Sunday,
come and lay beside me,
two in one,
let us melt into the nothingness
of everything.

Choose

If you're thirsty,
you'll need a drink.
So choose.
The drinks and the laughs on me.

In Love

I love to see your funny face,
your beaming eyes,
the curve of your lips
smiling at me.

The joy of you.
The pure delight in knowing
that you love me.

The happiness you give me
by simply being here.

For me.

CakeWalk

I like to take photos about those silent princesses in the shop windows. Imagine what it would be to stand there, day after day, and not being able to even pick your nose!
Hmm, maybe they don't have any urge to do that.

Anyway, here they are:

Sunday

I spent Sunday day in Suomenlinna,
took photos and made a video,
which you can see here.

Inferno

Where is hell,
pray, tell me,
so I’ll see,

trying to beware
not to find there

myself.

Is it in self?

Black Coffee

Let’s make some coffee,
she said,
that was her way to say she felt pity
for me, coffee made things better.
Let’s have some coffee,
that’ll do us good,
was the cure for everything
when I was a child.
Still is.
Black coffee,
and time to think, time to take a brake,
time to gather strength.
Coffee. Black coffee. Let me make you some.

Organisation of Humanity

Better safe than sorry.
Better forever than never.
Better yesterday than no tomorrow.

Listen: history is here, organised in your genes, your mind, your body, your memory.

Sex and drugs and rock'n roll

I wish…having had trouble with my back for some weeks, I can assure you, there haven’t been much sex lately.
And no rock’n roll for me either. My head cannot stand any noise for now.

But drugs, oh yes! Pills for head ache, C-vitamins, painkillers for my aching ear, strong tablets for my sore throat, syrup for my cough and lots of hot drinks.

I have the flu.

Luckily, Ian Dury in his time had it better.
