Seems like

I've done lots of things since last post. I've been working (oh yeah) and dancing my legs off.

Me and my friend Marianna, went to the western classical music tradition (classical music) - concert, organized by state of Estonia. Estonian country celebrates it's 90th year of existence, not necessarily the independence, but existence over easier and more difficult years. The concert was full of feelings, different ones, and the best thing was high class orchestra with great pieces of compositions. There was of course music of great composers like Arvo Pärt and Jaan Rääts as well as some newer composers like Helena Tulve.

During the week we also had our sauna club -meeting, we have formed a group of women, who likes sauna evenings, the sauna part, not the drinking part. Normally we hook up together once in a month to explore public sauna's in Helsinki. We went to Arlan Sauna, which is quite similar to Kotiharjun (Harjun) Sauna also located in Kallio area. The steam was this time quite cool, but somehow perfect, we could sit in the sauna like hour or so, dipping in the middle with cold water, and then going back there again.

On our sauna club, there is about 5 members only: couple years back in time we spend Juhannus - Midsummer Fest in one members cottage, we had lots of food and some beer, good music from Radio Suomi (this one is full with music for all age, a bit from 50's-90's and a hint of this century). During that juhannus we warmed the sauna up at 16:00 and spend all the evening on the sauna cottage - sleeping around 3:00 (AM). It took lots of logs to burn, but it was just the best thing to do.

Later on this week I've been acting as a teacher, I made kids learn about Biology (we got through fungus and moss) and Physics (there we learn (me too!) about colours, how they work with different kind of filters and how the colours are full of energy - red colour is low energetic than others). There was also English lesson, where we had "After School" - words - like run, walk, watch TV, crispies and so on.

I took part to motor functions lesson: what is a lesson where the kids are tought for use their body more useful, as you might remember, I work with disabled kids, which means - some of them cannot control their body autonomously. It was interesting to see that even though they make small things daily (like trying to turn themselves from supine to one's side) during one year or even some months they can do it autonomously. It's a huge success for next years, whent they can try to learn some other thing to do.

Today I'm having free day. I'm going to eat lunch with Aura - we want to check out new thai-restaurant's lunch counter. Maybe we also plan for new trips (what we want to do all the time) and talk about coming weeks.

Weekend will be full of works - again. But its ok, I'm having too much free time now :)
