Little joys

There are people close to me who are in the habit of carrying home tons of presents from pupils every year this time (and just before Christmas). These people are called teachers. Their supply of flowers, chocolate and other goodies is totally overflowing at the end of school year.

Now I'm not a teacher. Therefore, receiving surprise presents from choir members and clients earlier this week felt just sweet. It was so unexpected. And, as everybody will understand, it is not so much the presents themselves but these people's caring and good will which bring all that joy.

Die Grünen

It's been a while since the last entry I reckon. Well there have been so many other things: work, friends, parents, vappu. Morbacka, Lerins, Stuttgart. Back ache and other bits of everyday life.

Ok, enough with excuses! Meanwhile, summer is really getting closer. These pictures taken between 1 May and this morning should make it clear. I just love the pale spring green colour of birch leaves...
