Georgia Georgia

Stora Stugan
11.8 Monday. Today I woke up 7 and went to work 7:37. I met Thomas and we had a pint in Henry's Pub. A disgusting place I don't recommend for anyone. A coke 3.20, I had to show ID and there was a faint smell of urine inside. Luckily we sat outside. There was space. Around 6 I took the bus home. I ate our first home grown potatoes today. They were delicious. So good they didn't taste like potatoes. Now I'm here.

3.8 Sunday. Can't remember, but I wasn't in church. Titus came home from The Faces Etno Festival. I made music. Rapping

4.8 Monday, work and after work I saw Batman on cinema. 3/5. It's too long. The Joker is good. The action is nice, a bit different, although the martials are dull.

5.8 Tuesday work, and after work I met Thomas and Helene and for a short while Jan. We watched Helenes pictures from Greece and I had a Czech beer. We were in Kafka.

6.8 Wednesday - After work I played football with Jan and his friends. Helene and Kjell were there. We played and Jan was tackled. He broke his leg, but luckily not too bad. I took the train home and slept well after eating Estonian pancakes, haha.

7.8 Thursday - I woke up early. Already 7. I harvested vegetables early in the morning. Leeks, Cabbage, chive, parsley, onions, salad, dill, something and mangold (swe). I worked until 3 pm. Then I took the train to Vasa. In Vasa I was 7:30. There a bike was waiting for me. I biked through a Vasa celebrating the night of arts. I met my parents in my old flat, where I lived when I was studying. We walked immediately down to the harbour. We drove to Torskär. It's about 15 min with a speed around 25-30 knots. Torskär was as before. Pekka light the sauna and we carried the luggage, water and food up to the house. We had a sauna after a pasta fungi dinner. Then sleep in the "lilla stugan"(small cottage). That's the place where I sleep best. I've never had a bad night in that cottage.

8.8 Friday I woke up after a good night of sleep. Waking up when I want to. That's valuable. After breakfast we cut down to two threes. A spruce and a pine with the help of our neighbour Tor with his chainsaw. They went down all well and me and Titus cut one of them quickly into firewood. At 4 the same neighbour and some friends came for a coffee. We had coffee until 5.30. Then Mamma bbqed meat, courgettes and potatoes. It was delicious and afterwards we had a sauna.

9.8 Saturday I woke up 10 and had breakfast. The breakfast tastes also the best on Torskär. I washed up 2 days of dishes. Then me and Titus drove to the city and met Frida there. She drove us to a place where we bought new stones for the sauna stove. From there we continued to City Market, haha. There Nathalie was buying her new computer. After two hours she had everything she needed. A new computers and accessories. We then had a pizza in pikku quattro. Nathalies father payed. After that we sad goodbye and Frida drove us to the boat. We drove back and met some canoes on the way home. We ate smokes fish caught by us in nets. With potatoes and Baltic herring. That is summer food in Finland. After the dinner we had a sauna

10.8 Sunday - I woke up around 10. We had breakfast. After breakfast me and Titus went rowing but it started raining, so we had to return. We stopped on an island and ate some sweets. Back on Torskär we washed the sauna and the boat. For lunch we had perch fillets with fried potatoes. Delicious. After dinner we washed up and cleaned everything. 5:30 we took the boat to Vasa. In the flat in the city we changed clothes, had some icecream and relaxed. The train left from Vasa to Helsinki 19:30. We were home in Jorvas, South of Finland, 400 km away from Vasa around 12:30. It was nice to sleep.
