Wedding flowers

We were yesterday celebrating our friends wedding in Gordes, we had great time! I couldn't take pictures from the wedding, but this morning I took few pictures of the beautiful table flowers I got from the wedding.

Tomorrow night I will travel finally to Finland! I'm so excited about it. I will leave directly to north Finland, to Oulu and Vihanti on tuesday to visit relatives. Then the coming weekend I will spend it with my parents, hopefully see friends and have nice time.

Now we're off to friend's house, BBQ and games outside.

weekend plans

I'm quite happy of the coming weekend,

tomorrow is the music festival what my friends has been planning months.

I wish I could take some pictures there, I need to try with the automatic settings and self timer..

As I got bad news today, my right wrist hasn't gone better and I need to stay on sickleave more than 1 week still

AND my left wrist is getting inflammated too, because I have used it more than normally. So, my both hands are out of use now (what, I shouldn't use computer??)

I'm also counting days, excatly in 10days I will travel to FINLAND! It's just perfect timing,

my sister is having 30y birthday, I can see my dog Naku and my family. My friend is having a graduation party and I can visit my grandma in north. After than I will travel back to France with my parents by car, after their holidays here my sister will come to visit us for 2 weeks too :) 

Helsinki

Found some old photos

I started to clean up this messy home little by little

and under the pile of all magazines,I found an album of old photos of my childhood! 

I think I did bring it here few years ago before I moved to France, 

and forgot it there.

Traditional skiing, I loved that hat!

My big sister, dad and I, I was the only blond.

Messy house

It's a mess here, I havent cleaned since last friday when I got a wrist splint to my right hand.

After night, it's better and doesn't ache but starts to ache during the day again.

Is one week enough for recover from tendinitis? 

Seems that I have one in the ring finger and then in wrist.

uh what a mess.. and I would like to re-decorate here,but I don't have ideas.

Do you have?

Our shopping and To Do list, with kisses 

 

 

I got this new "Ricci Ricci" by Nina Ricci from Raphaël as a birthday gift <3

He took me to have b-day dinner in greek restaurant at our square, I love the grilled chicken there and the tsatsiki.

 

 

Oh and finally sun is shining! It has been raining much, there is again floods in southern france.

I hope this sun lasts and could have walk outside.

I'm spending my time mainly inside, nothing to do (because of my hand!) 

 

 

What would you do when having sickleave and you need to keep your mind busy and avoid getting bored?

cup of coffee..

.. for my birthday! 

We had nice but difficult weekend, 

our car did break again 

and it has some electronic problem and it doesn't start 

We slept over at friends place, as the car didnt work at evening before 

a poker party. We played in 2 different tables, all together 10persons.

From both tables, 2 winners were taken to the winner's table, I was one of them!

At the end, we played loooong and I tried 5 times to go all in, to quit the game. 

In the end, I won the whole game! 

My wrist is aching badly still, 

like some nerve is pressed and it keeps on aching until shoulder.

Today is my birthday. 27 years.

Is it supposed to be scary, to be more close to 30 than 20?

I don't feel scared at all. I feel pretty good :)

It's life and I love it!

I would love to buy 2 pairs of Bensimon shoes, with colors tournesol and coral. 
In my list is also new summer tops, next year a new camera definetly
and many many finnish products, as I'm about to have holidays soon in Finland!

My wrist aches

Aii.. I did work way too much this week, specially tuesday I had cleaning at the construction site in Isle sur la Sorgue, and my wrist said goodbye and since then it has been aching. Today I shoved it to my bosses wife, she thinks I have tendonitis in it. So now it's wrapped and i'm taking some med's for the inflammation. Tomorrow doctor if doesn't get better. So I shouldnt write and I'll have pause with the blog for a while..  See you later  and have great weekend! :)

Mt. Ventoux

We left saturday afternoon to Mount Ventoux, planned to camp over night there, see sunset and sunrise and then drive to Montpellier for a day at the beach. None of these plans worked.. First, Mt. Venoux at night, it was way too cold for me and I had awful stomach pains, so we drove back to home after sunset (what was not that amazing as I was waiting for - way too many clouds) and the beach, well, it was just bad weather so we skipped the driving there and spent the day at Orange, by the pool taking sun and swimming until it started to rain after few hours.

At the top of the Mt. Ventoux (1,912 m, 6,273 ft)

 

We found snow!

 

I was saving the camera's batteries for the amazing sunset and sunrise.. So I didn't take many pictures before, and then we left. We'll go back when it's more warm there ;)

Quick hello

We are soon heading for the camping trip in the mountains,

tomorrow we are supposed to go to beach but in Palavas it seems to be cloudy. 

I hope it will change and we can spend nice sunny day.

Friday I spend the day at the stables, it was really warm day with 33celsius degrees (91.4 f). 

I made the mistake that I did ride Hafiz in the riding field outside, not in the covered one.. It's was so hot and my arms where totally red after 30mins in the sun, I had luck and I didn't burn after all. Hafiz was sweating much and taking extra energy from the obstacles on the field, he lovesd jumping and was behaving badly when we did pass these. 

I took some photos with my new phone of Hafiz

Sore throat

Oh my... I'm having a sore throat, difficult to drink and eat.

While trying to find some natural remedies from internet, I'm having tea, 

flavoured with honey and real lemon. I don't like of honey at all, even it looks delicious.But the taste, no thanks..

except now, I'm trying to think what is best for the sore throat, so I'm drinking tea with honey.

What you take for the sore throat?

I'm having a day off from work today, I will have my first private lesson with Hafiz today at evening. 

I'm scared! Just because I don't know any horse / riding vocabulary in french and my lesson will be in french.

This weekend we are planning to do few trips, first to camp in nature at Mont Ventoux, to see sunset at the top of the mountain, have a hike there and then next day head to the Palavas beach! I'm so excited
