Ensimmainen adventti / First advent

Marme Laadidaadi loysi itsellensa ratsun tanaan. Lieko kaynee sen selassa Korvatunturilla?
Koristeluhommat jatkui tanaan. Luulisi etta olisin saanut sen jo tehtya mutta ei tassa huushollissa saa rauhaa tehda mitaan. Pikkuneiti on ollut takiainen tanaan. Yo oli taas kovin levoton hanen kanssaan. Eiko tama jo tasta alkaisi sujumaan. Menikin ihan liian hyvin useampi yo. Huomiselle jai viela ison poydan liinan silittaminen ja laittaminen seka ulkojatkojohdon ostaminen ulkovaloille.
Adventtikynttelikko on pakattu muuton aikana niin hyvin ettei sita loytynyt mistaan. Luovutin kun olin kolunnut kellarissa parisenkymmenta laatikkoa. (Juu, meilla on siella vaikka viela kuinka tavaraa, jolle ei yksinkertaisesti ole muuta sailytystilaa.) Kynttila kuitenkin sytytettiin ja etsinta jatkukoon viikolla niin etta loytaisin sen ensi sunnuntaiksi.
Yleareenalta katselin adventin jumalanpalveluksen ja kuuntelin kaiholla entisen kuoron kaunista laulantaa. Jos olisin Suomessa olisin mita todennakoisemmin ollut heidan kanssaan linssiluteena. :)

Marme Laadidaadi found herself a steed. I wonder if she used him to go visit Santa last night to do her reporting?
Decorating continued today. You would think that we would have been able to finish it but you cannot get anything done here in peace. ;) Little miss has been a limpet today. Last night was very restless with her. I just hope her sleeping would start getting more restful. We did have too many good nights back to back for it to last. Tomorrow still need to iron the table cloth for the dining room table and buy an extension lead for the outside lights.
My advent chandelier has been so well packed during our move that I cannot find it anywhere. I gave up after going through about 20 boxes in the basement. (Yes, we still have lots of stuff without storage space.) However, we did light the first advent candle and I will continue my search to find the chandelier for next Sunday. I did watch the first advent service from yleareena which was recorded at my old home town. I listened with yearning how my choir friends were singing beautifully. If I was still living in Finland I would most probably have been singing with them. :)
