Moving house, swine flu, holidays and a tag
16 years ago
Hello!
So we finally have internet connection and therefore I'm back! We moved to our new home about two weeks ago and we're still doing some unpacking. The house is mainly awesome and I love having a conservatory and a garden. I'm really looking forward to having an orange tree and a lemon tree delivered (and
lutien is obsessed with a palm tree he ordered...). Our internet connection was disconnected rather abruptly, which is why I disappeared without warning.
Immediately after we moved, I also fell ill with suspected swine flu. I didn't grow a curly tail or floppy ears, but I was really ill. It wasn't fun while it lasted, but a course of Tamiflu and lots of rest have made me all better now. I'm still a bit tired, though.
My holiday year is coming to an end and consequently I need to use up all my annual leave. That's why in just over a week's time I'm flying to Finland for two weeks. Expect erratic internet access again, as I definitely won't have internet access for some of the time. Lutien will join me for the second week, so that I can show more of Finland to him. It will be fun, I think! And of course I will get to see my family and friends, including Charha.
Apologies to anything who have left faves, comments or watches, I'll go through my inbox now and reply to you all! ^_^
Oh, and
coillscath tagged me to do a meme, and for once I thought it might be fun to give it a try. So here goes:
1) Post these rules
2) Post 8 true things about yourself
3) At the end you must tag 4 people and post their icons
4) Go to their page and send them a message saying you tagged them
5) NO TAG-BACKS
1. Every night I take a low dose of antidepressants to help manage my chronic pain.
2. Lutien and I have just bought a house together.
3. We have a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, but someday I hope to be able to adopt a rescued greyhound.
4. I have a 5-year-old niece, who is the sweetest child in the world.
5. I'm getting married next year.
6. I've known
charha for ten years and she continues to be a great friend and a true inspiration for my art.
7. I'm really OCD about sleeping.
8. I absolutely detest mushrooms.
Right, tags... charha,

Eight very random truths. I don't feel any wiser. Nice details about yourself, though. Some made me smile.
Saas nyt nähdä saanko itse kirjoitettua tätä laisinkaan. Ei nuo memet oikein sytytä minua. Ja ne tosiasiat joita itsestäni suostun kertomaan ovat todella harvassa tai ovat todella triviaaleja. Mutta joo, saas nyt nähdä...
Welcome back! Well... until you go offline again! Bah, it's life... the more offline you're, the better you're doing, I reckon. Anyway, nice to hear about you.
I'm glad to be back, I was beginning to feel very antisocial! I saw your email as well, by the way, and will go through it all properly when I have a bit more time. But be sure to keep poking me just to check that I haven't forgotten! ^_^
UK is having about 100,000 new cases each week, but there have been very few deaths, so I think we're doing ok.
No joo, ei sillä niin kiire ole. Jos ennen elokuun loppua saat sen luettua ja kirjoitettua jotain palautetta niin hyvä. Ja tuosta memestä... kirjoittelin sitten huvikseni itselleni kahdeksan totuutta... uploadaan journalin sitten viikonloppuna... minä kyllä käsittelin sitä memeä vähän omalla tyylilläni... että, voi olla jotain mitäänsanomatonta tai voi olla jotain hyvinkin viihdyttävää. Että näin.
Nothing else to say now. One hundred thousand new cases every week? I suppose it won't take long until the whole population has suffered the decease. And after that most have immunity against the flu. So, the next wave won't be so bad. Anyway, I'm still not concerned.
Is that mysterious machine that makes sparks and stuff any help with the pain? You still using it? It sucks so much to know that you have these pains and that there's nothing we can do to help you. Maybe I could draw something nice for you... I'm not sure if it would make your joints and limbs feel any better, though. :\
Gosh, you had piggy flu already? Here in Finland we're expecting a nice epidemic by October.
I still use the electric shock machine (when I remember to turn it on, doh!) and it helps control my back and pelvis pains. As sad as it may be, you get used to being in pain. I can't remember what it's like not being in pain anyway.
UK has reached epidemic levels of swine flu. Last I heard there were about 100,000 new cases each week. I think they thought it was slowing down a bit, though. Who knows. So happy epidemic to Finland too!
And I like your butsecks portfolio! Some of it is very hot!
