This is the last day of the year. And I’ve just learned to write the date correctly. Oh well.
The city of Oulu, apparently like most cities in Finland, won’t arrange fireworks this New Year because of the Asian つなみ disaster. But individual people have been firing up fireworks all evening – it’s legal from 18:00 onwards, but they started at 17:15 or so. On the apartment building on the other side of the yard someone was firing them from a balcony. Very smart..
We’re not celebrating very hard. I’m listening to This Mortal Coil (not your average party music), burning “dragon” incense and updating my blog, and that certain pretty girl decided to wash the dishes at this hour, mostly to cheer up her depressed friend.
This is also the last entry of the year. See you next year!
