so many happy summer days, spent in empty runways and tall grass. i wish tempelhof would stay this way forever.
finnish kitchen cupboards
a drying rack over the sink, hidden from view in a cupboard… is a pretty genius idea, if you ask me! 

wash the dishes and put them up there to dry – no need for the ugly rack that seems to take up half of the counter space! in my informal survey of finnish kitchens (a grand total of 3), all of them had this neat little feature. i heard that they’re common in other countries as well, but so far, i’ve only seen them in finland.
our hosts used it mostly as a storage place though, since they had a dish washer…
july’s highlights:
– my first tattoo!
– seeing a friend, after… oh… 10 years?
– doing the testdaf
– lots of sunny days spent in tempelhof
– visiting finland again, and our first sauna!

101 things in 1001 days – done!

so the second edition of my 101 things in 1001 days list ran out yesterday, and i managed to do… 58% of it! i know, it doesn’t sound like much, but still, it was quite an improvement up from 40% on the previous one. and wow… has it been 1001 days already?!
this time, the list was far more doable, with a lot less crazy-wishful-thinking travel plans, but it did include a fair amount of multiple items (read X books, try X things) which might have been a mistake. many of them ended up neaaaarly done… but missing an item or two in the end. bummer!
having done this twice now, i still think it’s nice to have goals and a list to work on, step by step. it gives life a certain direction, something to aim for. these past few years i’ve certainly discovered more unesco sites, funky sodas and strange vegetables than i would have otherwise! :D
and now, time to come up with another one, for the next 1001 days! any suggestions?
