He's off again



But with two large cases this time.

He managed to distract me 
in the lead up to his departure 
for a year in Japan
with talk of the new partnership 
that Finnair has with Marimekko.



I must now fly to Finland
as a matter of urgency.
Until that is possible,
I will peruse this blog
and listen to this:

  1. I love the VIA blog. It's like going abroad and finding Little House on the Prairie on the television in one's simple hotel room, and all the characters are speaking a foreign language so that the emotional overload floats past unnoticed.

    1. I would love to have your advice. I started looking into it in all seriousness but become overwhelmed as usual by the prospect of arranging an itinerary.

    2. Helsinki is well worth a visit. They have an interesting opera house which at first glance resembles a nuclear power station.
