Kind of doughnut filled with cream &

topped with pink sugaring

- so good when eaten fresh
.

Strawberry ice-cream made of "hyla" milk

so that you can eat it even if you are suffering from

lactose-intolerance

- a cup of tea and Fazer milk chocolate

.

Vihta

Finnish Midsummer is nothing

without a bunch of birch branches!

This leafy bouquet called "vihta" or "vasta"

is used in sauna

to spank the skin to get rid of all the dirt

- sounds extremely weird,

but the aromatic scent of birch is marvellous

Silja Europe

Last Saturday flew from Budapest to Turku

by Wizzair

- took a ferry from Turku to Stockholm

.

Dinner onboard (Silja Europe)

A table at Maxim's was reserved

.

Toast Skagen

- delicious!

- balsamico was a bit strange choice,

too strong with the delicate shrimps

.

There was also a gorgeous hors d'oeuvre table...
.

Grilled prawns & St Jacob's mussels

with rice & peas

- ok, the sauce was too heavy

and the portion was quite huge
.

Vanilla ice cream, berries and

caramel custard

- fantastic!

Huge dessert table!

Unfortunately couldn't taste all the sweet things there...
.

Very handy!

- 4 cases of beer with a trolley
.
And if 4 cases is not enough
there're also bigger ones!
.
Saturday night was not the most
comfortable & relaxing time to travel
everyone was partying
.

New Pet!

Teddy Bear!

teach him any bad habbits...
.

Smorking Labbit got some company now

Happy looking Teddy

Orchids

Who said it's difficult to grow orchids???

Look at these ones!

Last winter they're almost dying

and now every single one is blooming!
- watering them once a week,

that's all!

.

Gorgeous!
.
Almost throw away this one!
.

Even this one has flowers to come!
.

Sex & The City 2

Went finally see Sex & The City 2

at Mom Park

- after reading so many critics about

how greedy, patronising, faithless,

and spoiled the girls (not exactly girls any more!) are,

didn' t have much expactations left

- it wasn't that bad,

and basically it's all about

fabulous shoes, grazy clothes and gorgeous interiors!

- happy to see the flat on Perry Street 66 again!

- the Park Avenue flat is a dream,

even if it's only on 12th floor...
