How did the days get so long?

Third day in a row, at work, feeling like one work day is as long as two work days were still last week.. Maybe it's because of the wonderful weather. Sunshine outside and I'm stuck inside for the best part of the day.
I'm hoping all this weather will make the strawberries grow happily and fast so we'd get good, cheap berries soon.
Unfortunately my next month is full of 8 or 8,25 h days and not the normal 7,5.. Long days.. At least I get 2 full days off as well. and in six more weeks, actually more like 5 weeks and 2 days, it's vacation time for me. With my luck the weather will go bad come August and stay bad all month.

the best juhannus ever!!

I had so much fun.
Although it might have been the very first time I had plans for the weekend. And we had so much fun. It was a great group of 6. It would have been a shame if there had been someone who doesnt like karaoke, alcohol and board games.
On Friday we got up around 6:30 am and some of us stayed up until around 2:30 am. Long fun day it was.
Saturday was a bit dull, mostly anyway since it was all rain. Everyone was tired all day.
On Sunday I managed to get sun burned. My right arm is all red and achy. It came from sitting in the harbor at the pizza place.
I wouldnt have wanted to go home and end the weekend but at the same time I wanted to go home to my honey and my cats. And I most certainly wasnt ready to come back to work this morning. This is just too much. I can barely keep my eyes open. 2 hours of this I have to last. and then 4 more day. six more weeks..

Juhannus is just around the corner!

Wohoo!
I've really been waiting for it, since for the first time in ages I have real plans for it. My friends and I are going to my mom's.
Yesterday, 3 days before "take-off" we ran into trouble. Big trouble. No car. We were counting on A&J getting the car for the weekend but now we learned it's not going to happen. Just my luck.
I started to panic and even asked a car rental place how much would it cost to rent a car. But apparently the panic is over and we're getting a car. Although sometime in the evening on Thursday so we'll be there very late. Unless. there's a possibility that I have to drive one car over there, so that would mean we'd have 2 cars going there and that would mean that some of us could go in the afternoon as planned. S&J could follow us when they get their car, I could fix up a good map for them or they could drive on Friday morning and meet us at the market in Kuopio on Friday around 11-ish?
I suppose I'll have to develop some patience and wait to hear how late they get the car and so on.. And stop stressing.
