All kinds of coincidences

During the past week, our household has used probably at least five times as much toilet paper than would be normal. There’s someone here who seems to feel really passionate about unfolding a whole roll of paper around the toilet at least twice a day. I think the suspect might be certain blonde half pint who also has a habit of hiding pancakes under the couch and remembers how to say things like “I like you” and “please” in Finnish only when she wants ice cream or candies. But this is just an assumption.

Laura comes home from school at noon every Wednesday. Yesterday, I picked her up and took her to have lunch in “McDo”, in other words in the local Quick. It’s amazing how a crappy burger and a portion of tasteless french fries can make a little person that happy :D There’s a bouncy castle beside the patio, which naturally made our visit even more fun for her (and more stressful to me, as she was about to jump over the edges on her every third bounce and I ran around the freaking castle like a maniac, trying to catch her every time). After that, I took her to a playground nearby by bike. With her three years and eight months, Laura has decided that she is capable of doing basically anything on her own, and unfortunately she found a track that’s been made for way older kids and requires a lot of strength and balancing. Well, guess who went that through with the girl, carrying, lifting, catching, supporting…when we got back home after a few hours I felt like I had been exercising for the whole time :D

Both our fridge and freezer are broken. The temperature in the freezer is just low enough that we can keep stuff like yogurts there, but nothing stays good in the current cupboard that used to serve as a fridge. For a few days I’ve had to be quite imaginative when fixing up something to eat for Laura…gosh I hope they’ll do something to those things soon.

My Belgian cell’s not working either and I think I have some sort of a virus on my computer. Why do these things travel in packs?
