Rose and I decided that today we would attempt a little exploration of the surrounding woods. There are lots of woods here, pretty much if it isn't a building it's a tree. We quickly found ourselves coming out of the woods at Harittu, our nearest town. We didn't really find much there except houses but on reflection I think we may not have walked the length of the town like we thought.
We live next to what I can only relate to as an industrial park, except it's kinda not one. There's a big 'S-MARKET' and other restaurants and a few stores, one of which we discovered to be a massive second hand/vintage store, and it's reasonably priced! There goes all my money... It's kinda all disorganised, which just makes it more fun when you find something you like. I stumbled across this little yellow portable radio that has now made our echoey, bare kitchen rather awesome. Rose also managed to find a stack of four English books for 1,50 – bargain!
(This is where I would insert a picture of said radio, but my camera is broken, so please be patient.)
S-MARKET next for essentials, where Rose bought this weird fruit soup/smoothie thing. It tasted nice but had a texture like melted jelly – very slimy. We thought we'd try and freeze it, see if it improved, but it didn't.
A nap and a little research later, Rachel and Scott came over, only after they'd done what I had the night before and got on in the wrong direction - oops. It was nice to have company, the flat felt a little less empty as we listened to my new little yellow friend, discovered we were drinking non-alcoholic cider, swapped the stories of our day and planned the next one.
Oh, and we've already broken our toilet...
