Yarn, curtains, wine opener - OH MY!

Today was a very productive day. Could've been more productive - however I got to do quite a bit.
I was woken up at 6:30 by my darling little boy who had gone to bed quite early last night and that was fine. I had a load of laundry in the machine by 7:15am and dishes done by 8.
V�in� didn't have his regular nap at 11 and opted to fall asleep 10 minutes before a friend came over to visit. We then went on a walk downtown, did some grocery shopping and I went to go pick up my picture order I placed via e-mail and because my last name is a foreign last name - the system rejected my e-mail as spam. But they made a note and I'll just submit it again and pick it up in a couple days.

Found a wine opener for tomorrow night as we're having Miira, one of Tim's colleagues but based in Helsinki, over for dinner. We realized last night that we did not bring Tim's handy utility knife that has a handy cork-screw in it with us. There was a wine opener for (almost) 20 Euros. It was silver and grey and looked "like a robot" as my friend put it. Ha.

Found matching blue yarn in Sokos (thank goodness as Antilla is in the process of moving down the street) to finish V�in�'s sweater and the cashier gave me a little package for buying yarn...I didn't even remember I had it until I showed Tim the wine bottle opener. It's a durable/thick plastic bag with 2 rope straps in navy and PERFECT for holding a bunch of yarn and hooks/needles. I'm so excited. I'm hoping to finish the sweater by tomorrow so V�in� can wear it.

NOW curtains! We definitely need curtains here after experiencing the whole "me not wearing pants and I saw men go up on the roof" bit....Tim's preference is black.
I'm not running a funeral home in here. Ha. I'm going for color!
Here in Finland- at least based on our summer experience when we first arrived - the sun is up very early. Like 4:30am....so yes I agree - we need curtains - but I'm not having black curtains! The dog hair will just cling to it like crazy. I want something dark but with a pop of color as all of our walls are white, the floor is a nice light beige....and we just could use more color. We'll see what I can find.

For those of you that have never came to our flat in Canada before - I had the best shower curtains...big floral pattern ones that probably would you give a seizure they were so bright...and frogs with googly eyes and ducks with googly eyes...yes Walmart. I love it! Anyway - I will have to first of all, take measurements - and go from there.
Which involves hunting for my measuring tape. We just need curtains for the kitchen and living room...and balcony door I suppose. That's it.

Tomorrow will involve a lot of cooking and cleaning...and some re-arranging as we have 3 chairs and need to figure out where to eat supper....lol.
Should be a good time!
