Ah ce cher mois de décembre prend fin, Noël est passé ( j essaierai de mettre à une date ultérieur comment ce passe Noël ici). Décembre, un long mois que cela a été malgré la magie qu il amène avec lui avec les fêtes de fin d année.
Le train
Mon train était pratiquement tous les soirs en retard, encore plus les jours de tempête.
Du genre, vous êtes heureuse, vous avez une place assise, à la fenêtre, le train doit partir dans le quart d heure qui suit mais vous savez très bien que cela ne sera pas le cas. C'est pas grave, vous sortez votre lecture du moment et attendez sagement qu'on fasse savoir de combien de minutes le départ est reporté. Puis, on vous demande de sortir du train et de vous dirigez vers un autre quai. Tout le monde se dépêche, arrivé sur le quai, les portes du train refusent de s'ouvrir (pourtant il y a des gens dedans...) Même pas deux minutes après, les hauts parleurs font savoir que les voyageurs de votre ligne de train sont demandés à revenir à l autre train qui va partir dans l immédiat ! On reste zen...vous essayez de faire comme ces finlandaises, face à vous, qui ne le prennent pas mal et en rigolent. Un peu d'exercice ne vous fait pas de mal :p
Ou comme une autre fois, un soir, le train s'arrête pendant 30 min à une des stations, le temps que la voix soit dégagée...sur les lignes à côté ca n'avait pas l'air de poser problème. Faut pas chercher à comprendre. Ce soir là, j'ai mis presque 3h pour rentrer chez moi. Au maximum, cela me prend deux heures pour rentrer le soir.
Mais je n'ai pas le droit de râler quand on voit comment ca se passe en France. Eux, ils ont le droit de râler : ils ne sont pas habituer à avoir de la neige. Par contre, moi, je n'ai pas le droit : ici, il neige tout les hivers, et chaque année c est le même bazar. Surtout depuis l'an dernier, et cette année la neige est arrivée plus tôt que d habitude.
Tallinn
Le samedi avant Noël, nous sommes allés à Tallinn, Estonie. Il y a une chose qui me surpassera toujours : comment font les finlandais pour boire dès 9h du matin ? Si je pose la question à mon chéri, il me répondra "nous sommes finlandais !". Sans oublier la karaoké le matin ^-^
Pas facile de trouver de places assise, et levée tôt ( 5h30) j'ai réussi à me reposer comme je pouvais.
C'était la première fois que je voyais la ville sus la neige, après une petite visite dans un magasin classique pour laquelle il est bien connu pourquoi on vient là, nous sommes allés à la vieille ville que j'adore. Par chance, il y avait un marché de Noël à la place. Plein d'idées cadeaux à petits prix :)
Il ne faisait que -7 degrés mais il y avait un petit vent fort désagréable. J'avais pris mon appareil photo avec moi et malgré la vilaine lumière j'en ai pris deux en hâte. Après pour me réchauffer les mains, pas facile :s
Ayant dépensé tout l'argent que nous avions, nous sommes retournés au bateau. Il y avait un vent très fort, glaciale, des plus désagréable. Une fois dans le bateau, j'ai fait comprendre à mon chéri que c'était maintenant ou jamais d'avoir de bons fauteuils pour toute le trajet du retour.
Il m'a fait la remarque que nous avions bien fait d'être revenu à ce moment là car le ciel dehors n'était pas très beau à voir...
Une fois le bateau parti, nous fûmes un peu secoué : la mer était agitée, déjà que les personnes qui n'avaient pas bu avaient du mal à marcher...je vous raconte pas pour ceux qui avaient bu, hihihi.
Pour moi c'était une journée fort sympathique surement du fait à toute la complicité qu'il y a eu entre mon amoureux et moi, et que nous faisions rarement de sortie ensemble.
L'aquarium
Ah, cet aquarium...Je vais surement me marier avec tellement je l'aime. La veille du départ des vacances, je m'étais dit que ce serait bien que je le nettoie pour éviter le cauchemar à mon retour le 10 janvier. Je le nettoie, essaie de faire attention à la température de l'eau. Ben oui, pas facile lorsque tout d'un coup on ne voit plus si l'eau est trop froide, ou trop chaude (ce qui était le cas à mon avis). Heureuse de l'avoir fait, je retourne m'occuper auprès des enfants.
J'étais à la bibliothèque avec un petit groupe d'enfants, en train de lire une histoire à ceux qui voulaient écouter, lorsque l'enseignant avec qui je travaille vient me voir et me demande s'il était possible que dans le seau que j'ai utilisé, il y ait eu des traces de chlorine. Je lui répond avec toute honnêté que c'est possible. Et là, il m'explique que certains poissons ( 4 ou 5 en tout) se sont mit à saigner que qu'à son avis il ne vont pas vivre longtemps. Oups, je suis devenue une meurtrière malgré moi. Sincèrement ce n'était nullement mon intention. J'imagine déjà les pauvres poissons, ventre en l'air.
Retour dans la classe en début d'après midi, je suis allée voir le carnage que j'avais commis à mon insu. Et là, moi qui pensais devoir prendre l'épuisette, je les vois plus vivant qu'ils n'ont jamais été. Ok, un ou deux saignaient encore un peu mais je ne m'attendais pas à ca. Moi qui pensais d'une certaine façon en avoir fini avec eux, et ben non. Pour la peine, je devrais tous les nommer Lazare !!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
On this December month
Oh dear December expires, Christmas is over (I will try to write at a later date how spends Christmas here). December, a long month this has been despite the magic that brings with its with the Christmas and New year.
The train
My train was practically every night late, and worse on stormy days.
The genre, you're happy, you have a seat at the window, the train must leave in the quarter of an hour but you know very well that this does not happen. That's okay, you pull out your reading wisely and we do expect to know how many minutes the start is postponed. Then you are asked to exit the train and direct you to another pier. Everyone hurries, arrived at the platform, the train doors will not open (though there are people in it ...) Not even two minutes later, the speakers are aware that your passengers train line are requested to return to another train that will go in the Now! It is Zen ... you try to pretend these Finnish front of you, who do not take it wrong and laugh. A little exercise does not hurt you :p
Or as another time, one evening, the train stops for 30 minutes at one station, the time that the voice is clear ... on the side lines it did not seem to be a problem. Should not seek to understand. That evening, I put almost 3 hours to get home. At most, it takes me two hours to return in the evening.
But I have no right to grumble when we see how it goes in France. Them, they have the right to grumble: they are not used to having snow. For cons, I, I did not: here, it snows every winter, every year and c is the same bazaar. Especially since last year and this year the snow came earlier than usual.
Tallinn
The Saturday before Christmas, we went to Tallinn, Estonia. One thing that I always surpass: How do Finnish drinking at 9am in the morning? If I ask my darling, I will answer "we're Finnish!". Not to mention the karaoke in the morning ^ - ^
Not easy to find seating, and up early (5:30 am) I managed to get some rest as I could.
It was the first time I saw the city above the snow, after a short visit to a conventional store for which he is well known why you come here, we went to the old city I love. Luckily, there was a Christmas market instead. Full of gift ideas at low prices:)
It was only -7 degrees but there was a little windy unpleasant. I took my camera with me and despite the ugly light I've taken two in a hurry. According to warm my hands, not easy: S
Having spent all the money we had, we returned to the boat. There was a strong wind, cold, very unpleasant. Once in the boat, I understand that my darling was now or never to have good seats for any return journey.
He remarked that we had done well to be back at that time because the sky outside was not very nice to see ...
Once the boat left, we were a little shaken: the sea was rough, already that people who did not drink had trouble walking ... I tell you not to those who had been drinking, hehehe.
For me it was a very nice day probably due to all that there was complicity between my lover and me, and we were rarely out together.
The aquarium
Ah, this aquarium ... I'll probably marry so I love it. The day before leaving on vacation, I told myself that it would be nice if I clean it to avoid the nightmare on my return on January 10. I clean it, try to pay attention to water temperature. Yeah, not easy when all of a sudden you can not see if the water is too cold or too hot (as was the case in my opinion). Happy to have done, I return to take care of children.
I was in the library with a small group of children reading a story to those who wanted to listen when the teacher I work with comes to me and asked if that was possible in the bucket I used it there were traces of chlorine. I replied with all honesty that it is possible. And then he explains that certain fish (4 or 5 in all) have started to bleed in his opinion that he will not live long. Oops, I became a killer in spite of myself. Honestly it was not my intention. I can already see the poor fish, belly up.
Back in the classroom in the early afternoon, I went to see the carnage I had committed without my knowledge. And here I thought that having to take the net, I see more living they have ever been. Ok, one or two were still bleeding a little but I did not expect ca. I thought that somehow it had finished with them, well, not. For punishment, I should name them all Lazarus!
I am sorry if the english version seems wrong, I use google to translate it for to go faster and as you are able to see it's not a short writting. I started to write in french the 28 december, and just finish it now the 5th january !! Thank you for your understanding :)

Depuis hier soir, soir tant attendu, je suis en vacances pour 18 jours, héhé. Honnêtement, j'attendais ce jour là avec impatience, ce mois de décembre a été assez fatiguant. Entre l'excitation des enfants à l'approche d'un fameux jours, les trains qui étaient, et le sont toujours, en retard, quelques tensions...Sans oublier quelques joies comme une agréable journée que j'ai passé samedi à Tallinn, Estonie. Et une fausse joie qui me fait rire, rien que d'y penser mais je vous raconterez en détail prochainement car ca concerne l'aquarium :p et ici ;-)Since yesterday evening, as expected , started my vacation for 18 days, hihi. Honestly, I expected that day forward, this December has been quite tiring. Between the excitement of children at the approach of a famous days, trains were and still are late, some tensions ... not to mention a few joys as a pleasant day I spent Saturday...

Quand je disais que je n'aime pas le mois de novembre...et encore, on approche de sa fin. Depuis une semaine, nous sommes sous la neige -même Helsinki ! Ce qui n'est pas habituel - Aujourd'hui il y a eu une petite tempête de neige, et ce que je redoutais pour le retour et arrivé : train en retard !! Le stress de l'attente, et savoir à quelle heure je serais chez moi. De plus, le mercredi c'est le seul jour où je finis tôt. Mon train à 5 min de retard, ca va. Puis plus rien ! Est-il annulé ? Ils n'ont rien dit. Le prochain est dans 10 min mais sera en retard de 15. Puis au moment où celui que je prend d'habitude, qui sans crier gare avait disparu des écrans refait surface. Total : 25 min d'attente dehors car la gare de Pasila était bondée. Mais...

I do not know...maybe a bit lost by this november month I love so much ( no, it's not true, I hate this month with march : for the first one, days start to be darker, there is snow coming and going away, if it's not raining or raining snow :/ For the second one : I start to be a bit impatient that day light comes back to normal, snow goes away...) Sometimes I am lost in my cloud, drown in my thought coz there are too much.You might have thought I have forgotten you ! No, I have not, otherwise I would not be writting here. I am just going to ask you to be a bit patient.I know I still have not finish to write about my summer holiday. But honnestly between moving...

I have been told that it hurts when you do it on the side ( where there is the butterfly). Well, it hurts but not that much than the top of my bottom :'( The seance last about 3hours. I first I was wondering if I was making a right decision coz it costed me a lot of money (300e) but when I went to the shop and see the drawing, wouaw...no, no regret. I was then impatient to have it :pA bit nervous as I couldn't remember how was the pain ( last one was made 7 years ago) So she started to it gentle for to remind me how it is and then did her job.There as the pictures taken my myself....

This morning, nice sky which promised a very nice weather :) About 6.20 I took my bike for going to the railway station. Ten minutes after I left my place, I crossed some young people - about 20 years old, three young girls, well dressed - who seemed to enjoy themselfs and when I passed by them, acting like they were hitchhiking ! Few metres further, I crossed again some young people, similar to the first one, except this time I saw one of them with a can of spirit. So I don't know if they were finishing a kind of party, or started it. In any case, it was not too earlier to start to drink !!!Ce matin, un beau ciel qui promettait belle journée :) Vers 6h20, j'ai pris mon vélo pour aller à la gare. Dix minutes après que j'ai quitté ma place, j'ai croisé des...

There is some pictures from the Trevi Fountain, Rome. At first, I thought this fountain was situated in a public garden, so I was quite surprise when I saw in fact it was a small place (crowd with tourist people) but a very huge fountain. Honnestly, if one day you go there don't miss it !! You really have to go to see it.The pictures are not that great, I took many about details. As usual, if you want to see the picture bigger, click on it !!Voici quelques photos de la Fontaine de Trevi, Rome.

Yes, you are wondering what the hell is this title. Well, yesterday, I went to cinema to see "I love you Phillip Morris" with Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. I wanted to see it before the holiday but as I wasn't well, I didn't. I have to say first I wanted to see because of Ewan.It's my favorite actor for a long time now...I even watch movies I wouldn't usually go to watch as Star Wars. Yep, I went to cinema with my brother watching star wars just for to the see Ewan McGregor on big screen. I don't say either that all movies he is, there are excellent, no.I love him for eg, in " a life less ordinary" "The island", "Down with love". I remember when I was to Australia, I bought the book he wrote with his friend about their travels on motos. My english at...
