FOUR THINGS RIGHT NOW : FLOWERS & TATTOOS
Labels: at home, four things right now, sailor, tattoos | at 2:20 PM
It was actually Eddi that picked these forget-me-nots and lillies of the valley.
One of my new tattoos is inspired by, well, eh, me. And the sea.
I am so going to eat that one real soon.
My other new tattoo again is inspired by the fact that I like monkeys (monkeys are the coolest ever), seamen and the sea. And Plyti-Apan is also my oldest toy.
OHOY!

I hve a new sailor top form Tara Starlet.
Sailor stuff always makes me go a little wild. Hey ohoy!
And see, as soon as the sailor hat is gone I'm all nice and calm again.
So I left it at home and put my beret on again for outside (I think I'm going to have to do at tag called 'my beret' soon).
(Had to leave the red shoes at home too and go for my winter boots too as that damn snow still hangs around.)
SOME HOURS AT SEA AND SOME HOURS IN STOCKHOLM
Labels: sailor, travel | at 9:11 AM
We went on a cruise to Stockholm with Eddi and his two children.
I took the boys up to the bridge to look at all the buttons and screens there and to see how they steer a big ship. The other boys on board don't get to see that.
Many buttons, many switches.
(This one here is just about my hair.)
I took some pictures of other ships trough the binoculars on the bridge. Lomo effect!
The next day in Stockholm felt pretty cold as it was 37 degrees C (!) at home in Finland (!!!) and "only" a mere 20-something in Sweden. I wore long sleeves for the first time in ages!
We went to Gröna Lund.

I am clearly becoming old as I prefer the small flying elephants to any other attraction with more action than that. They just spin too much.
In the afternoon we took the small ferry back to town and our ship and it was windy as hell. (I hate it when it's windy. But at least it's a little funnier with a big skirt on since it goes "flufff!" all the time.)
A swedish mermaid.

My dear friend K just turned 28 and held a tea party today with lots and lots of cakes, macaroons and mini cupcakes. All home made, all delicious.
K loves pink and candy so I gave her a gift with pink and candy on my mind. And I dressed up thinking pink and candy. And 1930's, sailors and sailorettes.
