Walkabouts!

New week, new tricks

I'm positive about pretty much everything right now: my vision is almost normal already, I have a final check-up with an eye specialist on Wednesday, and I played the clarinet Yesterday for the first time in weeks! And that made me feel so good! I'd missed it already so much, I even smelled it, a very tender moment (!), and it was all the same as when I was a little girl entering the exiting world of woodwinds, silly me!
Having time off on your own account is totally different compared to if you just simply cannot do the thing that's most important to you. And right now I'm just so happy to start everything running again. I hope it'll stay this way and the doctor approves it too.
But today's good. Monday's good. For once. Phew.

My days have been filled with hanging around the house, some experimental cooking, LOTS of movies (both excellent and crappy!), and sweet husband cheering me up.
He's been adorable, the light of my life, the apple of my eye! :)
Always looking after me no matter what, my love forever!
Oh, and I did attend three concerts too! That was nice, even though it made me a little anxious getting on stage myself, haha! But it always does good to just go and listen. I wish there'd always be time to do that.

But with the beautiful sunshine we had last week, I went on my slow and easy walks. Everything looked so beautiful, so crispy, the leaves, the trees, the bright sun. I felt at ease for taking this time to calm myself down, to getting better. Just be in my own thoughts and feel the world around me. I felt like a little tourist at times. A tourist in my own city!

Starting from close-by, first the sweet Käpylä:


On another day I hopped into a bus, rode to Munkkiniemi to be close to the sea, and took a walk over there:


It's so beautiful there, and quiet at this time of year. I walked around for quite a while, had lunch in La Cantine, and continued to my old favorite, Tamminiementien Kahvila, where I sat down and dreamed away for two hours!
That place just takes my breath away, every single time:


Back home we treated ourselves with some treats: truffles and crepes...
My sweet tooth has woken up, so good! Nothing beats a good movie with delicacies like these, even if you were suffering from an eye infection.


Then it was time to go urban. I took the train to the center and went for a walk in Tähtitorninmäki and Ullanlinna. Calming sea wind on my face there too, maybe that's what I was after?


Now that I think about it, I might have done quite a bit of things...
I'll admit it's difficult for me to just be and lie down, but I strongly believe if the soul is happy, the whole system works. A happy soul in a healthy body. Amen to that!
