Tomorrow I’m having the medical procedure that I’ve mentioned recently. We have to get up early to get there on time, and I’m not allowed to eat or drink. Sigh. I don’t like waiting, and this will involve a lot of waiting. Also I don’t like not knowing how it will go. Last time I…
I’m thinking I need to change my Motivember plans. Because so far it is not going too well. I’ve been blogging, which is a good start, and keeping my spending relatively well under control, but other than that…
Motivember is always a challenge for me. That’s kind of the point. But this year it might be a bit difficult. For one thing, these first couple of days we had a friend visiting, so of course we’ve been spending our time with him rather than working on Motivember. Which hasn’t got me off to…
Today we visited a chocolate factory. Or at least, the visitor centre for a chocolate factory. We didn’t see any Oompa Loompas, but we did see a giant rabbit made of eggs. We were told all about the history of Fazer, went into their little tropical garden where they have cocoa beans, vanilla, chillies, ginger…
It’s November, which means it’s the time of year when I challenge myself to a bunch of things! This year my goals are as follows:

Well. I thought once I got home.from my trip to England I’d do a better job of keeping up on this blog, but I haven’t posted once! It feels like I have a million things going on. I know several people would say I’m doing too much… I think it should get easier now though.…
Hey look, I missed another day! It’s nice being busy away with family. Doesn’t leave a lot of time for blogging though! Let’s see if I remember to post later today. Love, Lady Joyful
Today was my grandfather’s funeral. It’s the reason for my visit to England. I wish I were here under better circumstances. It was a good funeral, as far as funerals go. It was nice to be able to see the family, and to meet my almost 3 month old twin nephews for the first time,…
If you’re new here you may not be aware that I am a Brit living in Finland. I’ve lived in Finland for coming up to nine years now, and I can speak Finnish passably though I still struggle with it, in part because my jobs have all involved using English so I don’t have a…
