    Neuloin St Andrewsin huispausjoukkueelle, nimeltään St Andrews Snidgets, maskotin. Se on siis sieppeli, kuten kuuluukin. Se sai nimekseen Lord Finn K. Snidget-Cauliflower.
    I knitted a mascot for St Andrews quidditch team, the St Andrews Snidgets. He’s a snidget, as he should be. He was named Lord Finn K. Snidget-Cauliflower.

    Mukinmaalausta. Kukapa ei haluaisi eeppisintä scifi-mukia mitä historasta löytyy? Sisäpohjasta löytyy myös Tähtiportin symboli, valitettavasti aikaa ei riittänyt kunnollisen tähtiportin maalaamiseen.
    Mug painting. Who wouldn’t want the most epic science fiction mug in all of history? There’s also a Stargate symbol in the mug but I didn’t have time to paint a proper stargate.

    Kaverini Jimothy oli menossa juhliin eikä osannut itse solmia rusettia. Päätin auttaa, joten opettelin somimaan rusetin.
    My friend Jimothy was going to a ball and he couldn’t tie his own bow tie. I decided to help and learned to tie a bow tie.

”I realized today that I was wearing SIXTEEN pockets.” //
Hat (doesn’t include pockets even though I do own a hat with pockets) //
I like pockets.

Näin jälkikäteen ajatellen oikea sana lienee ”takataskut”. Pahus, mun kyky puhua suomea rappeutuu täällä…

THE CINNAMON BUN GIRL

Whale, who studied here in St Andrews last autumn came to visit a friend of hers who studies here now. And she also had time to meet me! //
”Hi! It’s so nice to see you again!” ”Indeed! How are you?” //
I also met a couple of Whale’s friends. ”Hi, nice to meet you.” ”Likewise! I am Kati.” //
”Waaaaaiiiitttt… Are you the famous Finn who taught Whale how to bake cinnamon buns?” ”Ha ha ha ha! That’s the best compliment I’ve heard in ages!”

A TRIP TO PHARMACY

”Hmm, I need to buy more hand cream…” //
”Okay, who was the mastermind behind the idea of combining a pharmacy and a cosmetics store?!? One cannot breath in here!” //
”And this has to be the best way of placing products. Just saying.” Weight management – Candy.

Some day my prince will come

…or not.

”Oh! Hi, dad!” ”Hello! How are you?” //
”Not bad… Hard to believe that my year abroad is almost over!” //
”Have you already found yourself a prince?” //
Because prince William and Kate Middleton met when they were studying at St Andrews University, all my relatives want me to find myself a prince from here, too. //
”No. As far as I know I haven’t met any.” //
”Maybe your standards are just too high.” //
”I mean that perhaps some count or baron could do as well.” ”Haw haw.” //
”Well, I still have a month…” ”Exactly!”

Take 2:
”Do those people have such a strong Scottish accent that I don’t understand a word? Or was it some other language?” //
”Where are you from?” ”Near Marseilles.” ”Oh… it was French…”

Ilmeisesti minulla on myös ongelmia muistaa piitrtää laukkuni mukaan kuviin…
Apparently I have a problem with remembering to draw my satchel…

PUPPY THERAPY
Gaiverruksia68_n
”I wonder what’s the topic on today’s lecture…?” //
”Why are you all sitting on the floor?” //’
”Because the professor has a new guide dog puppy and he basically TOLD us to play with her!” //
”Oochy woochy coochy coo!” ”Who’s a good girl? Yeees.”
