This shall be my last update in this blog as well as the start of my new blog.

As I previously mentioned that due to several unforeseen situations in my life I now am back in Finland and maaaan it feels weird!


Back in London: 

The last day at work was like any day at work expect me trying to solve out and finish all of the things I promised to my colleagues, customers and myself.

We came to conclusion if in the end I'm not going to graduate into anything
at all at least I can be THE cupcake lady!

I made some cupcakes to leave at least some sort of a memory (taste...picture...sound...anything!) into the minds of my colleagues because they surely have left many a good memories into my mind.

Catching up with friends while I still could: 

Good company requires good food!

Some evidence of the Halloween

 I got a place and tables booked and a thrilling leaving party  started. Nothing major nor too big but good food, drinks and some shots. Scandinavian sea food and especially the herring woke up many a emotions and reactions...

Thank you guys who could make it again for coming! Will definately come and see you as soon as I get a loooong weekend off from work!

Living in London can be challenging but it also opens up your eyes in the most bizarre ways. Like what to be scared of, the secrest behind The London HELL and how living in London changes YOU. 

 My walk to my hospital in Euston for my physiotherapy that was supposed to be the last visit (but actually they wanted to still continue with me due to my all over the place shoulder plate) became one of those "memory walks" where I just kept trying to keep the print of everything I could see in my memory.

I got a soft landing to the finnish language when Topi arrived to London and finally also got the possibility to have a look at London with a holiday-tourist-point of view. 

I don't know about you guys but I have to say that London's probably the most beautiful city in the night time. 

Pubs... I'll miss the full pints and pubs!

Birch trees! You rarely see these in London!

Moving to another country can be a bit challenging and one thing I wont miss about London is the lack of certain punctuality in deliveries etc. Everything looks absolutely AMAZING and organized on paper but when it comes to reality we get the way too familiar all's-lost-situatio. The collection for my big parcels full of shoes, clothes, some kicthen stuff etc and study equipment of course never came. OH actually it came but I was ever informed properly about it. So there we were waiting for the delivery guy AND OOPS he came and didn't try to reach us?! (Maybe in a hurry for a Halloween party?..) So we ended up ordering a cab and dragging those parcels to the closest access point for a delivery to Finland. Eventually those parcels actually reached Finland and are carefully storaged to my sisters garage but I could have never survived without Topi. Way too much of carrying and probably would have ended up to have a re-surgery for my shoulder... ? 

Ended well so all's well!   

Bye bye London

It's hard to describe the emotions I went through during those last days in london and what I'm still going through. It's amazing to be back on your roots and with your family but at the same time it feels like I landed to a place I really don't know that much about. It's not just a change of routines or the scene that still puzzles me but it's yet again the sense of loosing yourself. I made my life there and even thought I lost my purpose and started questioning myself after my shoulder injury I still had plans. I knew what I was doing, every corner of my box studio, the flow of my week, the people, to whom I should call when I needed some understanding, the air, that guy in the corner store with the same jokes every single time I visited there, that the tourist standing in my way when walking at the Oxford St would always piss me off and that London would never sleep....

I was born in Helsinki, lived a many years in Helsinki and now I'm back in Helsinki and I feel completely lost! You should have seen me babbling with the language! Instead of using finnish all I can manage is "finglish" and the cultural norms and manners?... Don't get me started!


But just to reveal a few things for you guys:

1. I got a job!
2. I'm in a relationship now so no more cheeky single-girl-out'n-about jokes BUT now I got a chance to test the limits of good taste in the field of relationship jokes and report about funny situations.
3. I may have a possibility to make use of that Osteopathic knowledge I gained after all...
4. Still looking for a flat for myself that I can actually afford to live in while rehabbing myself and studying for a profession I can actually work in. (Studying becomes really expensive without any bursaries and funding..)

You'll here all about this in my new blog: ------------ (I'll figure out the name for that blog out later. How about Lost girl returns to HEL? Kiki's secret diary or Jag ska kolla IN HEL igen!....)
