On Friday Marina left to the city for a religion class in
the morning so I took a ride to sasatel (where my mom used to work) to go visit
my moms former colleges. With me I brought chocolates and such from Finland and
I was lucky since they were all at the office at that time. Afterwards I walked to Shoppers just to
find out there was no fish since it was so early. I wanted to make red snapper
for dinner so I was bummed, but stopped on the way home to buy potatoes and
stuff and also some vegetables. The day I spent reading a book and took a walk
with Otso. Marina informed me that she wouldn’t be home before dinner so Merja
and I went shopping for the fish and other supplies.
We had a lovely dinner together. I couldn’t find red snapper
but got another white wish which was okay as well and went good with the
veggies I cooked in the oven. David picked me up shortly after dinner and we
hit a fund raising party, which turned out to be a costume party. It was a
space party, but gladly only a few people were dressed up so we fit right in. The night went quite fast and I ended up at Sea Cliff to watch the sunrise before heading home for some sleep. 
The next day I went to chill at the Nordic school pool for
about two hours and tried to get a nice tan while swimming a lot as well. I was
quite hungry since hadn’t had a
bite to eat in the morning so I rewarded myself with a meal at Marybrowns where
Abbas and Marina took the twins in the afternoon. I headed home before them so
I had just enough time to take a nap before another costume party: the finnish embassadors husbands
birthday party, where the theme was “bad taste”. Merja killed it with her
outfit and I tucked a lot of scarf’s in
my leggings so I made my ass look huge. Met some people I remembered and a lot of people I didn’t
know. After some awesome food and a speech I took a ride home with Abbas and
Marina, cause they left early. It was time to get some sleep before the wedding
reception the next day…
During the night I woke up to dogs barking and a lot of
weird noises. I heard a very big bang, like an explosion of some sort. It
sounded like there were some kind of hooligans on the streets and one mans
voice sounded like he was being tortured. He was crying and at some point the
sound was close to some kind of animal being killed. In the morning I found out
there were robbers in our neighbors house (twiga apartments) and the guards got
3 of them caught.

I woke up 8 in the morning with a bit of a headache, but
that didn’t stop me from getting up, cause it was time to start preparing for
yet another reception. We went to the store with Merja and I bought a coffee
maker for Marina as a birthday present (a little beforehand since her birthday
is in April, but we needed the coffee maker now). I focused on baking while
Merja started making sandwiches. Mr. and Mrs. Murji took of shortly after
waking up, since they were supposed to pick up some drinks, samosas and the
cake that was ordered before.

We had a very nice little gathering. There was a nice bunch
of people and everyone seemed to be having a good time. After the guests left
we were all quite tired, but also really happy since we all had a good day as
well. Marina and Abbas opened their gifts, which were very nice. They got a lot
of fabrics and useable stuff like another coffee maker, a vase, service dishes
and such. After everything was
cleaned up we still had some of the left over sandwiches that were very tasty
(way to go Merja) and Abbas and Marina cooked some chips for themselves, whilst
went to bed, since she had an early wake up call to Zanzibar for some meetings.
All in all it was a perfect day!
