Three more days in the office and on Friday night we fly to Finland. After 23 hours travelling we shall arrive in Kajaani. Then, visiting Oulu, our new home town, selecting stuff for the flea market (Iitukka flea market 14 day + 3 extra days), packing, packing and packing the house, spreading things around. That's our July. Of course meeting some lovely friends as well, taking Toivo to neuvola etc.

Then, back to Hanoi for 3 more months with Toivo. We are already sad for leaving our great maid, Huong, who has served our family in such an emotion. Pekka is well known among the maid mafia - not many host families talk to them. For last few days he has entertained the maid mafia with kids from several countries on his fashion show - 3 new tailor made suits which have been approved by the maids. Sad, now he first have to leave this and then later on me and Toivo, too.

The weather is HOT, 40 C. Last week when we had visitors, it was RAINY. Last Wednesday was the rainiest day in a decade. After 5 pm when I was leaving the office, it was flooding, I had to take shoes off to catch a taxi. What an experience.

Well, ready for holiday and therefore the blog will be quiet until early August. Until then - wishing you all a lovely and warm summer.
