Days seem to be slow but I must certainly add that it isn’t the days it is me trying to hold onto something. The days seem to disappear like sand that runs through the fingers, trying to hold on to them while spring disappears completely and turns into summer. While summer in its inevitability foretells the coming of autumn and then winter that will once again stay seemingly forever. We are cautious celebrating the green trees for concerns that they may break under the social pressure and in their serious mental instability, which we already have presented here, drop all their leaves. Now that we don’t want to happen, do we?
Everyone is back from Rovaniemi and the house does feel different. Constant noise till Lili finally goes to sleep and only then things quiet down a bit. Some said that Tobi and the Gang have not shown themselves much in Rollo but no wonder…. They told me all about the dog!
A dog that has a tongue large as a table cloth, paws greater than any paw one can imagine, possibly, and the whole creature is about a size of 9 to 12 elephants put together.
Or so I was told. Only Moses managed to sneak into the house safely tucked away inside a bag. But anyway, Tobi, Molly, and the others stayed away for the weekend and explored the artic circle for themselves, the bit that goes trough Rovaniemi at least. They were even granted a private audience with Santa which they have concluded with the realisation that the guy was a fake and ‘the guy’ has concluded that he will just stick to lying only to children in the future. Which as I have heard he lived up to later on.
On Sunday they all came home, exhausted. And not much else happened since. Couple of days back Lili has received a phone call just around dinner time. It was Tobi. I didn’t quite get what were they talking about, Lili later kind of told me that he just wanted to have a chat and let her know what was going on. Tobi was on his way to pick up a friend of his because they normally go to school together but they have had some meeting that night. Good on them.
I have got to know some people this week, in fact I am still getting to know them. One of them is Conrad, but he and the others live far away, in a different time as well so it would be hard to say too much here without settling confusion. Just telling that there is stuff going on with me as well. I also have set myself the ultimate, impossible task trough another PC game from 1994! Such waste of time I cannot say.
There has been question about how to get a house dragon? How did Tobi end up at ours. I cannot remember. He just came. He just was once. Maybe he was invited. In fact I think he was but I cannot remember how. He was needed, it was cold outside, there he was. And once here, he moved in and for the stay. I hope he will stay because it is fun to have a dragon around, to see how well Lili engages with the situation, with having a dragon in the house. But there are days when a dragon is not as much fun as it seems. Now it is spring and I don’t see him much. He is always out and about. I guess this is normal but I don‘s see him much at work. We see him for meals sometimes and he comes home to sleep at the least. He has made the top of the fridge a good home. Especially since he has figured how to prevent his head from hanging on the wrong side, in front of the door. I must admit that this last week I have spent much more time mapping new relationship and our friendship with Tobi may have had a temporary glitch. But now I have managed to bring my friends together so all is fine. Conrad is a friendly chap I guess. But maybe I should think of spending more energy making friends with locals, especially local people. Vast majority of whom however has the habit of not making it into a habit to hang out in Onnela during the day when I work there. Conrad and Tobi don’t seem to mind.
