Gelato and Starbucks [Daily Photo #209]

To celebrate a hint of winter that graced us (fluffy snowflakes that melted in the air), 

we went out to eat ice cream in Gelato cafe! ^u^

Camouflage [Daily Photo #204]

“I have found a perfect camouflage! This chocolate popcorn. Check this out!”

Coffee and Books [Daily Photo #203]

You know I might one day become addicted to this “read books while sipping coffee in a cafe” thing. =D

Elements [Daily Photo #202]

Fire

Light and Shadows [Daily Photo #201]

In the morning light...

Helsinki Trip [Daily Photo #200]

Guess who hadn't been in Helsinki for months? =D Yesterday it was fixed! We went to Kallio to catch Pokemons to check out Loving Hut and visit some shops.

At the Central Railway Station.

Ympyrätalo in Hakaniemi.

Wilmersburger cheddar-style vegan cheese?

This happens! ^u^

(All that food can be found in Alepa and some other grocery stores in Finland.)

So Much Coffee [Daily Photo #197]

Yesterday at Espresso House in Sello.

While I was reading, my husband was doing IT magic. ^^

Colourful autumn!

My first Inktober! Arts #1-6

This October for the first time I decided to join Inktober! It's an annual drawing challenge where you draw something in ink daily (if possible) for a month and post it online. Armed with my manga pens and their India ink, I accepted this challenge!

So here's my first batch of Inktober doodles!

A Sea Creature

A Flat Explorer [Daily Photo #195]

What do you do when your ancient phone isn't Pokémon Go compatible? Use your husband's tablet! =D And to make it more cosy, carry the tablet with a help of a cute little raccoon.

Also, I forgot I took this pic yesterday and so didn't post it here. Oops! Someone put this handmade decoration on an I-aspire-to-become-a-Christmas-tree-this-year conifer bush.

Pecans & Sticky Buns [Daily Photo #194]

Yesterday I had a strong craving for sweet bakery, but instead of buying something from shop I decided to bake my own! After a bit of Googling I came across a recipe of sticky buns that looked way too delicious…

Feeding a Bookworm [Daily Photo #193]

If you have a bookworm in your house (or in yourself!), always make sure to feed them well, with good books and nutritious meals. They might pay you back by reading lovely passages aloud! Maybe...

IKEA Hydroponic Indoor Garden [Daily Photo #192]

Yesterday's shopping: a cultivation insert set, a special cultivation lamp, a light fixture. Oh no, she's gardening again! =D

I am entering the world of hydroponics.

Is it Christmas already? [Daily Photo #190]

We found something new in Prisma! Quorn juhlarulla (a meat-free version of the traditional Christmas meal, oven-baked ham). It's ovo-lacto vegetarian. So, of course, we had to try this new thing. =D It's delicious! Which isn't really surprising – I'm a big fan of Quorn.

(Dunno if it tastes like ham or not, it's been ~21 years, so my memory of meat is a bit fuzzy. =D)

Quorn is a British product, by the way. You can see what else they have here (UK) and here (Finland). I prefer their Finnish names, as they don't sound like meat.

Morning Frost [Daily Photo #189]

It is autumn, indeed – we've got frost already!

Cessna 206 [Daily Photo #188]

Yesterday in Sello we saw a plane! A Mission Aviation Fellowship's plane, Cessna 206.
