More friends, more parties

After sleeping long on the first day of the new year, the three girls of us found we were alone in the flat. All our guests had finally gone home to sleep.
So we had a hearty breakfast on leftovers, and decided to have some fresh air and go for a walk. And give Annabel the chance to see a bit of Finland, she will leave on wednesday already.
So off to the Seurasaari ethnographic museum on one of Helsinki's many islands. By the time we were ready, it was 3:30 and dark outside. Finnish winter!
The houses on the island were closed, but we could still enjoy seeing them from the sometimes illuminated walks. How easy to imagine what dark cold winter nights in the finnish countryside are still like.
Back home we feasted on some more leftovers, and invited a few friends over that had not made it to our party on new year's eve. Around ten or eleven of them had met by chance in Helsinki center and admired the fireworks together and shared the booze. The italian girls had loved the minttu a lot.
Claudio, Sofia and Tuomas came at around 10 pm. We had fun telling our fortune, checking astro websites and doing "Bleigiessen" I had brought from Berlin. The molten lead poured into the water mostly turned out to be either fish or dragons, but we had a few flowers and a shadow man (evil, evil) as well.
In chat Danswe had told me he was psychic and could see the future and he saw broken glass with me. Sure enough not even two hours later I broke Elsis' only coffee maker. Looks like we have to go shopping on Tuesday. ;)
