dinnerJust the usual subjects... On Saturday at 14.45 the bus left for Kokkola. We arrived sometime after 16. About 200 folkdancers were there. A long dinner followed. It was long, because they had some speech before the dessert. The food was okay. Almost 8.30 in the evening we had the dancing. The 7 districts performed a dance or two. After that the audience joined in (those who could and wanted) and they danced it again. Then the next district showed their dance and so on. At 10 pm we ate birthday cake (not so tasty) and coffee (not me of course). Our district showed our dance at 10.45 pm. Usually I am asleep that time, so I was tired. The bus came to pick us up at 00.45 am and I could hardly keep my eyes open until then. I was just so tired and I slept in the bus. 
The bus came back to Vasa a little after 2 am and I had to go home with the bike. I was finally home at 2.30 am and went straight to bed.
On Sunday was the San Marino GP in Formula 1, but I only watched half of the race. At that point it was so boring... It looked like Alonso would win again and Kimi Räikkönen's car was like a snail. So I took my bike and went to my sister's house where mum was already. She walked there before noon. In the end, Schumacher won before Alonso and Montoya. Kimi finished 5th with his snail car. Okay, but Alonso got more points than Kimi and that's not good. Nico finished 11th or 12th. It was not too good, but at least he finished the race. Hopefully it will be a better and more interesting race next weekend.
The spring was in the air this weekend. 
But today it's cloudy and not so warm. I miss the sun. There is still snow on the ground at some places, but a lot is gone already.
I think I should write a few letters today. The pile of letters are growing... But I also want to cross stitch Biscuit. The dog is ready and now I am stithcing the cirkle of small green leaves and pink flowers that is around him. Then I have lots of back stitching, but that's not so difficult.
I must go to the library today and return a couple of books. I also thought I would pay a couple of bills. It's easier to do it on the mashines in town than on my computer.

Better go now.
