Hello spring

Spring's here. I've been hideously tired this week but that's due to too many late nights. Also all sneezy again.. Sigh. Time's flying, too, can't believe how fast the season has passed by! I'm dreming of a spring jacket and getting excited for some summery travel-plans..

New humanbeing in my life

My nephew was born last night!!! Veljenpoika syntyi viimeyönä!!!

Congrats to the family, auntie here is so proud. Can't wait to meet that little thing.

Yogurt, yoghurt, youghurt, yogurth, yugurt

Just let it snow now please. I love you spring but we need more of that soft white stuff up to the mountains again.

Tired. Last night was Mardi Gras. I got dressed up as a devil and today it was indeed hell to get up.

***
Few adorable telemark-chicks fresh out of Finland are here! Yay!

I'd tell you that I'm addicted to a bio-strawberry yogurt if I'd know how to spell yoghurt, youghurt, yogurth, yugurt.

Through the air

Up up up.

Up in the mountains we hike even further up, move through the air in the cabins high in the air. But how ever hard we try, we cannot fly. Jealousy towards the birds, I have always wanted to be able to fly -flying dreams are my all time favorites.

Recently, I was told it might be nice to have a holiday in my head. I was also told a bad lie and a compliment.

I got a little travel plan cooking in my head, cake in my tummy, sparkles in my eyes.

There's too much people up in the mountain right now. I think it's gonna be a day for a little randonnee tomorrow, just to get away from the crowds and enjoy the outdoors.

I think I also need a little sleep-in. Just an hour or so more. Happy little day off pleasures.

A bundle of thoughts

Sundays are made for feeling soft n' smooth. And then you have to go to work.

Someone has messed up my house. I guess cleaning day is knocking on the door.

It's snowing out there. Always a good thing when in the mountains. Except maybe in June, then it gets a bit annoying.

My head is sending me thoughts on repeat. Some of them tickle, some throw rocks at me. Head is a funny place to be at.

I have connected with the universe quite strong lately. It's an amazing thing, yet bewildering at the same time.

I am very fond of my skylight window.

Möykkyjä matkassa

Tällä viikolla olen laskenut puuteria, nähnyt prinssin ja seisonut päälläni kesken työpäivää.

Kerran meinasin myöhästyä töistä: puolituntia ennen vuoron alkua olin vielä vuorilla ja mietin kuumeisesti nopeinta reittiä alas. Col de Mines, go! Lähdin viipottamaan, mutta Vallonin traversella keikkuikin iso, paksu pilvi ja näkyvyys huononi hetkessä. Minille oli tullut lunta, mutta ei mitenkään kummoisesti ja paukutin vanhoja möykkyjä edes yrittämättä tehdä tellukäännöstä. Hitto. Pääsin kuitenkin alas kylään ja olin töissä viisi minuuttia ennen vuoroa -ehdin siis juuri riuhtoa laskukamat päältä, hypätä hamoseen, ottaa huikan vettä ja naama vielä hiestä punaisena aloittaa työt.

Herään lintujen rapinaan

Minulla on uusi koti. Nukun makeasti kattoikkunan alla, herään lintujen rapinaan katolla, katselen kuinka valo siivilöityy lumikerroksen läpi ikkunasta sisään kylpemään sängynpeitteelle.

Meillä tytöillä on nyt onnenpäivät: uuni ja pesukone. Adios, nyrkkipyykkäily.

Äiti lähetti kirjoja ja työkaveri lykkäsi toisen pinon syliin. Olen lukenut, peitonalla, teekuppi yöpöydällä, laiskoina aamuina, unisina iltoina.

Vitalis tuoksuu lapsuuden talville.

Telemark-chick

So here we go: updated ski-Martta, as requested. Although the pics hardly ever have anything to do with the actual act of skiing. These ones also include me posing, me posing and ...me posing.

''Telemark-chick'' someone whispered in the cabin one day. That was about me. I like being a telemark-chick.

Oh, and I had a fine little plan about getting black pants and a black jacket. But, then, somehow. Well, you can see the result, can't you?

P.S. Life's sweet when your lunch break's called Stairway to Heaven and when that little heaven is filled up with powder. Yes that was today. Yes I'm such a lucky fish.
