Maintenance
Parents are a handful. Thankfully they're both napping right now. At least someone is getting some sleep. Egads.
Two nights in a row where Irene -tries- to go to bed before midnight, only to be kept awake by very talkative loving parents. Oh, and then they found every zipper known to mankind and used them before 7 am. And just in case I wasn't quite awake, they opted for the direct approach, asking questions:
Irene, where's the remote?
(guess the TV wouldn't bother me since it's only a foot from my head)
Irene, how do you turn on the TV?
Ireeennneee, where's the english channel?
Hey! Why isn't this working?
and so it went.
I am tired. My eyes are bloodshot. Me tired. Will write when I can.
Tomorrow we plan on taking a steam boat cruise to Naantali. Planned points of interest to include:
...day of island exploration (gardens, piers, shops galore)
...president's summer home
...kirkko (goodness forbid we miss a church. ugh. irene making soft gagging noises)
...and of course, some food.
If I can convince my pruddish mother, we shall sauna at the Oikarinen abode. My dad signed up even before the invite was formally extended, but that's him. The mom is a tad bit hesitant. We shall see.
Tarja is coming over in a few to have some tea.
Did I mention how LOUDly my dad snores?
*sigh* Must purchase ear plugs.
