Thursday, April 30

It is the day before Vappu and I am walking to the bus stop. I can see the first of many balloon sellers getting their merchandise ready.

Today I will have the final XML class and most of the students will successfully finish their projects. By the time the class ends we will be the only people in the building.

Naa will phone me once I am home, asking me to meet her in Stockmann. We will meet but to no avail. What she wanted will be out of stock. We will walk to Prisma to meet Irma, who will be deep in the pre-holiday madness.

We will spend the evening indoors, toasting Vappu until the early hours of the morning.
