Today our postman rang the doorbell when I was brushing my teeth. Francesca shipped my order on Monday from the UK and on Wednesday morning it was handed to a sleepy girl in Turku. That's something I call speedy! I had been drooling over Mrs Eliot books for months, and finally last Friday night I made up my mind on which one to buy. Together was my choice. And what a lovely book it is! It's on a special place on our living room window sill next to the hand carved pike's head we got as a wedding present. (Moi Joonas!)

This is me on my way to the post office. Usually my hair looks shorter, but now I combed it in the wrong direction. I did it for the first time yesterday and it got me so off balance I needed to try again today. I walked almost straight but I think it was because I was holding hands with dh this time. Now I'm having trouble keeping my head straight. I may be a bit obsessed in having things the way I'm used to.

Isn't it lovely that there's finally snow in here!
