Argh! Still no artworks! What is wrong with me?!?! Well I suppose I do have an excuse, seeing as I've managed to get myself some part-time temporary work as an exam invigilator. Yeah, that's right, I'll be the one walking round, making sure the pupils aren't cheating. It's all changed since my day, what with everyone having to write in black biro (I used to use a blue fountain pen lol) and not being allowed mobile phones hidden anywhere. When I was sitting exams, you physically COULDN'T hide a mobile phone, they were that big! Still, I hope it all goes well. It's not for long, but money's money.

We are both hoping to get away this year, Helsinki looks as though it's on the books. If anyone has been there or can make some nice suggestions, they will be more than welcomed. The things we like in order are: food, castles... errr more food... shopping places, museums...and err, did I mention places to eat? There's this Lap restaurant that serves reindeer and elk and cloudberries. I must try these things!! As well as the national vodka of course.

I have also been working really hard on my writing, so maybe that's why I'm uninspired artistically at the mo. I have so many ideas that I want to write down, I wish there was more time in the day. Ah well, I'm sure that's what many people say. Let's hope that being out and about again, doing some work, will bring back all the inspiration in a flash. I hope everyone's well, take care and I'll write again soon. Hugs and cookies to everyone.
