Brighton!

Saturday night Jens got the king of all ideas: "Let's go to Brighton tomorrow!" And for sure we did!

How long have I wanted to go to Brighton? I don't even know. Probably since I first heard of the place. It has always seemed glamorous, like Nice! Like Nice for the poor :D! I have been to Nice and now I've been to Brighton and actually they remind each other a tiny bit. Well, duh, they're both cities built on the beach and they have the promenades and the palm trees and the cute parks.

The day was perfect! Hot, sunny (altho when we arrived there was heavy fog rising from the sea. We got rid of it in the end.) and just a tiny gush of wind to cool you down every once and a while. I saw the Brighton Pier, I bought a Brighton rock and I swam in the sea! I don't think I've swam in the sea since New York...and that's like...ages ago.

Wish I'd have pictures to show you guys but I haven't got a smart phone.... And can't be bothered to carry my camera as it doesn't always focus on things I want and acts a bit retarded.
I'm gonna get the LG smart phone! Maybe this week if possible. Would be nice to take photos from Helsinki and post them here!
And then I could take pics from Brighton when I go there again. Hopefully next month! I hope that the weather will hold. Yesterday was the first day of summer it feels. It's been dreadfully cold here for weeks and weeks. Today it's very very warm but cloudy. Feels impossible to breath sometimes. I'm hoping there will be a massive thunder storm tonight! And after that more sunshine, please!!! I want a tan!!!!! :)

I think I might want to move to Brighton... For real. I'd like to live close to the sea. I miss it.

Yes.
It shall happen again.
I have bought a ticket.

I am going to Andalusia! In August-September. I have already spent a sleepless night pondering on what to do and where to go. I have come up with my first traveling plan for now but for sure I shall change it  :). I'm flying to Sevilla and was planning to make a day trip to Barcelona on my very first day. It would be a kind of pilgrimage to see the Gaudi  church. Which I love. Then I want to visit Tarifa and Cadiz. Go riding and whale watching and spend some time at the beach. But mostly I just want to chill. Hopefully meet a few new people. Eat and drink and gain some weight.

Before this I will be going to Finland. Actually in just one week! I'll be home 4th July till 7th July :). I hope this one week will be enough to see my dear friends and spend good times with mommy <3. I also hope the weather will be amazing and I can be reminded of how much I love Helsinki in the summer time.
I met a Belgian guy in a bar yesterday and he told me how much he loved Helsinki (had visited once) and i felt quite proud. It is a great city! If only it could have a never-ending summer and more international population.
...and more exciting outgoing scene. I'd be so happy  to live there!

Between Andalusia and Finland I'll be spending a week in Ireland. The first week of August. I'm really excited about that too! It will be week of silence and nature and green and cliffs and sea. I'll be going with Albi. So actually it won't be a week of silence as Italians make a lot of noise... hehe

I am considering about becoming vegan. I have already begun to move away from dairy. This was much helped by finding a store that sells Tofutti. You can't imagine how happy I was! I danced a little happy dance :D. I just find it difficult to live without Ottolenghi cakes and muffins...and real French cheese. So we'll see what happens.
I blame Antonio's brother for this...he made me think if it's right and good to eat even organic dairy. I am also thinking if domesticating animals is right or not. I don't think it is. But then having horses for riding purposes isn't right either. That makes me sad. I love riding. I shouldn't be so selfish :). If anyone has an opinion I'd like to hear it...

Breakfast.

Today my breakfast consists of sugarfree red bull and a chocolate chip cookie. Nutrition!
