I went back to work for a while. Titus brought my football shoes and socks so I met him in front of the bank. Then I biked to Blåbärslandet and played my first match in NIBs football team. 0-0 and we were lucky to get that result. Our keeper was good. I played defense and OK, I think.

I stopped at a place called Nerone and ordered a 4 Staggioni. I ate it at home watching Die Hard 3. I only watched a part. The pizza was 2/5. And 9 euros!

5.8 Thursday - I met Ida. How nice.

6.8 Friday - I woke up at 8 and left to reach the parliament library. There I checked some sources. Then I went to work. In the afternoon I went to the political sciences and law library and checked some more sources. After work I biked home, around 6 after buying some food from lidl. I had sausage, potatoes and carrots. Then I skyped with Maria for three or four hours, nice. Sleep.

7.8. Saturday - Woke up 10.30 and had a good breakfast. Then I finished my last two footnote in my thesis. I took 2-3 hours. I dare declare here my thesis is as good as ready. Around 3.30 I took the bus to Jorvas. Titus was there. I plowed through material to see if I forgot something. I ate snålsoppa at the patio and took the bus back to Helsinki. Almost immediately after coming home I started biking towards Helene's. My bike is only running on gear 1 now and my back brake is out of order. I lost my way very close to her place. My package with eight beers fell a part so it was trouble. I asked for the way twice. And old man more interested in talking and a man who explained for 2 min and then his two sons said isn't it just easier to follow this way straight. I reached the place and the Brit Henry. We ate and talked until 2.30. I biked home in the middle of the night.

8.8 Sunday - Woke up at 11 and had breakfast and cleaned a bit. Then I biked to the bus stop. From the bus I can see the smoke coming from the fires of Moscow. There is a thin fog in the air and the air is very warm, not because of the fire. In Jorvas I worked last bit on my thesis and saw a thunder storm arrive.
