Ready to go

Today or rather yesterday was my last day in Berlin for a few weeks, again. Christel came round in the morning, and will look after the flowers and the mail. I hope she'll like the bottle of lithuanian honeywine I brought all the way from Siauliai.
The plane from Tegel will take me to Helsinki around noon. Three weeks last month was not enough, it seems. There's an HC-meeting this weekend, and Helsinki Festival is on since August 18. Tomorrow will be the Night of the Arts with 140 events all over the town.
I've never been to Tampere and Turku, and Yoavick and Sov invited me to stay a few days. And I'm looking forward to visit Temmihoo and his cats in Espoo.
Theriel asked me to bring some more potatoe dumplings, and Little_Star and I decided to do some german noodle salad on Friday at the meeting. So I bought some german sausage for the salad.
I had offered to sing a german song if they promise not to laugh, and I still haven't decided which one. It should be something easy, so that they can join in. So far more than 60 from all over the world will be coming, Australia, North and South America, and Asia included. I'll sure find a few to talk about countries I might travel to this winter.
The backpack is squeezed full, I had to leave out a few t-shirts and the skirt I wore so often this April and May, but Finnair is rather strict with handluggage lately. Not more than 8 kg. And I made it!
Ok, I don't have to bring my sleepingbag, Kliment will be so nice as to lend me one of his. And no mattress, Pulina took care of that. More information on this late summer / early autumn weekend in the forum - click here.
