The house warming party was at the weekend. We had
* Two big cakes from Ripa
* Bottles od champagne
* A couple of wine boxes
* Blue cheese, Pepper cheese, Camenbert, Sheeps cheese
* Karjalan Pirikka
* Sima and Pommac
* A big box of Fazer chocolates
* Coffee and Tea
* A yellow submarine
We received flowers and house plants, cutting boards, glass bowls , a tea maker, baskets and lots of welcoming cards.
We invited lots of people from our past. I must have been like mixing oil and water but somehow we managed it. Maija and Riina stayed up until midnight the day before maing a submarine out of cardboard boxes. They painted it yellow. I designed the periscope. The kids enjoyed it, but half way through they began to jump on it and got pretty wrecked. At the end of the evening Christopher and me jumped on it together and we threw it out into the rubbish bins. It had served its purpose.
It went better than I had expected, since our bathroom is still not working. I had to gather everything up from the hall and dump it in the bathroom and then tape the door shut so noone could get in. If anybody wanted to go to the toilet then then had to go downstairs.
