päivi is gone off to iceland and london for 16days. i am here on my own for all that time. so the next few days should be fine, before i descend into primordial behaviour – i’ll start to make a fort in the bedroom out of socks and old tshirts. then i’ll somehow form my own rudamentary religion based around the worship of the union of bread and cheese in heated toasting machine furnace.

thankfully thomas is here sometime next week for a month, then alice the week after for a week, then sara for a weekend (and our first annual wine and cheese party) then my cousin fionnuala is here for five days.

here is a cd i made for päivi to enjoy. she rang me a little while ago and said that she nearly fell asleep cos of it on her way to tampere airport. good or bad sign?. dunno.
