Went to the library and got a couple of books to keep me entertained, can't wait to get started with the reading!
Ran into a neighbour who lost her husband about a month ago, and I just found out about it a week ago. They had been married for over 50 years and his death was a very unexpected and sudden one, she said he died in less than 5 minutes. We chatted a little and she said something that touched me: "after over 50 years, I still would have had so many things to talk about".

Kirjastopäivä, kohta aloitan lukemaan saalista. Törmäsin rappukäytävässä naapurin rouvaan, jonka mies oli kuollut äkillisesti kuukausi sitten, sairaskohtaus vei miehen viidessä minuutissa. Rouva sanoi jotain, joka jäi soimaan korviin ja vähän omaantuntoonkin: "vaikka oltiin yli 50 vuotta naimisissa, niin vielä olisi ollut asioita, joista olisin halunnut puhua".
Andreas bought Leena Lehtolainen's book Kuolemanspiraali for me. and it took me three weeks to read it in Finnish. Tough stuff for a skater's mom, though. Reminded me a lot about our short fling with the ice hall!
