dusty dust dust dust duuuust

the council election is on tomorrow and i barely see it mentioned anywhere. in fact, i dont. im confused as to what to vote. im disappointed with labour for their brexiting, but i also know that councillors have nothing to do with brexit and everything to do with local decisions. so lets go with the latter; but i dont even know the options. and surprisingly, google has not provided helpful. i feel im going to polling station blindfolded.

we watched Motherland documentary. ive been waiting forever to find it, and now Netflix had it. documentaries are hard to find...
and wait a minute, whats this on Netflix, "Bordertown"...looks finnish, it IS finnish! how nice, i think netflix has caught on the nordic noir by buying local shows not just US remakes.

positives:

• i can smile and be chatty with the mailman, unlike in turkey, cos he wont imagine its an invitation to harass me. 

• finnish names: jenni, jenna, janna, jussi, jutta, jatta, jonna, janne, janni, jonne, jukka, jonni, jesse...    ah, 5 letter names starting with J and with double consonants in the middle. 
• Sainsbury's fizzy sugar free drinks 
• we had a nice dinner last night with Niina & Hannu at a ramen restaurant

negatives:

• brits are really 'complainy' and privileged twats sometimes. they love writing complaints and demanding reimbursement and especially major apologies. whether the 'expensive organic bread' had too many air bubbles inside or the queue was too long at H&M cashier wednesday noon... brits DEMAND their hurt to be compensated. i like writing feedback too, but its nor for compensation, its literally feedback. and i dont think im THAT fussy.
• we had a ceiling issue fixed by the landlord, or contractors they sent, and i wish they had given us a fair warning over the dust that would spread EVERYWHERE. even just a simple "you might want to close the bedroom and bathroom doors" wouldve been nice. had i known what will happen i wouldve left the ceiling as it is. our flat is covered in dust, thinking of getting a cleaner for a day to help. because when anything that was out in the open, from toothbrushes to shoes to vitamin jars, s covered in dust... having help even with just the floor would be nice.
