Easter in Hel.

Three days of sun. Two nights of partying... well, the list was going to continue, but then I realised that was about it.

My weekend in Helsinki (when I should´ve been in Berlin).

The weekend started off well because I managed to change my flight to Berlin to July. Then I discovered my pay cheque was substantially bigger than expected. So far so good...
N and I headed off to the Rose Garden to check out Alex from Chicks on Speed after a few hours of mingling and warming up at Erottaja (where everybody knows your name... or at least think they do). The music was good, the DJ was luminescent and the Jalo shots were cheap. But there was no Alex from Chicks on Speed! But it was a very cool night anyway so we weren´t too disappointed.

Then on Friday night the gorgeous K hosted a party. It began as a very refined event:
Kir Royale on arrival, cool jazz in the back ground, finger food and interesting conversation.
It ended up with us cycling to Erottaja (yes, again!) with three shots of... um... something... under our belts. We managed to steal a blow up doll from the roof of someone´s car and I also got stuck in a shopping trolley on the way. Oh to be young and foolish!

On Saturday I took it pretty easy. N was exhausted from his yoga course so we had a light meal of pizza (which was so oily we basically drank it) and stayed in to paint Easter eggs.

I originally wanted to have a BBQ on Seuarasaari on Sunday, but everyone was either hungover, or out of town... and most people were both. So I sat on my balcony in the sun and read the afternoon away. Then I painted more eggs.

On Monday, I danced in the living room to the live set of Cut Copy from the Sydney BDO which was broadcast on Triple J. With the sun streaming in the window and the beer cooling in the fridge I could almost imagine I was back in Australia. "sigh"

So, Berlin I have to wait to taste the pleasures you will offer me... But Helsinki, you´ve done me proud!
