Friday night.

Once again I'm sitting at home on a Friday night drinking wine.
It's minus 7 degrees celcius and the thought of leaving my apartment is not particularly enticing.
However, I can stay here, drink wine, read Dostoyevsky, fall asleep at 10pm and be warm ... OR
I could venture into the CITY! (Helsinki city is more like a big country town actually but when in Rome ...)
Whatever I do I really don't think I'm going to be as productive as I'd hoped tonight considering my eyes are already closing.

But what to do?????
Waiting for my phone to ring ... but will only go out if someone suggests something really interesting. Odds of that? Unlikely.

We had the Christmas party at kindy tonight. 26 little kids standing in the snow singing Christmas carols. My clock is ticking so loudly I'm sure every eligible man in a 6 kilometre radius can hear it ... watch them run for the hills!
But seriously, they were so cute. All their little elf hats and red cheeks. *sigh*
Of course, they were all insane little demons today though. The snow, the countdown to Christmas, Friday ... it all contributed to create an afternoon of general mayhem and high pitched squealing. Deep breaths, gritted teeth and promising myself big glasses of wine tonight was what got me through. I've never really appreciated the peacefulness of the weekend before (is that my clock fading away?)

So back to tonight ... maybe I'll have a bath, wash my hair, have another glass of that lovely Spanish wine A brought me and see if I'm still awake in an hour.
