Vuoden alku / Start of the year

On ollut vahan hiljaista taalla. Anteeksi. On ollut kaikenmoista.

It's been a bit quiet here. Sorry. There's been all kinds of things.

Aiti tuli kipeaksi jouluna ja yritettiin saada Momi kuntoon ennen kotiinlahtoa. Ja koska oli sen verran veto poissa niin kaikki tuliaisostokset jai viimeisille parille paivalle. Kaupasta kauppaan.

My mother became sick at Christmas and we tried to get her feel better before she went home. And as she wasn't very energetic all shopping was left to the few last days. We went from one store to the other. 

Koulut alkoi maanantaina 5. paiva ja isompi neiti olikin onnellinen paastessaan taas nakemaan kavereitaan. Tykkaa muutenkin koulusta. Sita iloa riitti vain hetken. Han nimittain sai heti oksennustaudin, jota sitten kesti ja kesti ja kesti. Uskomatonta mutta totta, me muut saastyimme silta. Mutta kylla otti koville niin neidilla mutta myos minulle. Miksi kaikki oksentaminen ja ripulointi tapahtuu aina oisin? Nelja valvottua yota ja paivan touhut siihen paahan sai meikalaisesta aikamoisen zombien. Viime sunnuntai menikin sitten nukkuessa.

Schools started again on the 5th and Big Miss was happy to go back to school and see her friends. I'm so happy that she likes school. However, that joy was short lived as she immediately got a tummy bug that lasted and lasted and lasted. Unbelievable but no one else got the bug. But it was though, especially for Big Miss but also for me. Why does vomiting and diarrhoea always happen during the night? Four nights awake and days on of top of that created quite a zombie. Last Sunday I pretty much just slept. 

Nyt olen yrittanyt paasta arjesta kiinni. Tehtavien asioiden lista tammikuulle on pahasti jaljessa. :( Yritan sita kuroa kiinni. Taalla on ollut tasaisen kylmaa. Yot -15C ja paivat noin -10C. Valilla pompataan suuntaan tai toiseen. Yksi putkikin jaatyi melkein. Se samainen, joka melkein jaatyi viime kerralla aidin taalla ollessa kylassa. Nyt odotamme etta korjaako rakentaja tilanteen. Putkimies jo myonsi putken vedossa virheen.

Now I've been trying to get hold of the every day life. I'm behind in my TO DO list for January. :( I'm trying to catch up. It's also been steadily cold here. Nights -15C and days -10C. Every now and then we bounce one way or the other. One of our pipes nearly froze. The same pipe that nearly froze last time mum was here. Now we're waiting to hear if the builder is going to fix it. His plumber already admitted that there's been a mistake in where the pipe has been put.
