Back to Helsinki

for a day visit to see my parents. 

It was a nice (rain free and fairly warm) day over there, but here back at home it had rained. And there's still some showers going over us. 

My dad's doing better. We walked to a very near by restaurant for lunch. My dad has also something wrong with his back, vertebra, but after this 6 week antibiotics treatment, he'll see a doctor and hopefully they can help him. He's in quite a lot of pain over his back. 

I'm happy to back at home with Buddha. He especially. Sleeping happily after very early supper. Soon we'll go for a walk and then off to bed. I*ve been up since 5 am and it was very stressful for me to drive back by myself. I hate the traffic in big cities. It really drains me. And I was driving a car that I have never driven before. My dad is not going to drive anymore, so I get to use his car, which has not been driven that much and is A line Mercedes. Kind of bitter sweet to get the car. I've known for 4 years that I will get that car when he decides not to drive anymore, and it's been kind of a running joke in the family. But this is not a happy day. I could have taken the car few weeks back, but I needed some time myself to take this step.
