fans necessary
i find it interesting that UK based package holiday sites advertise and list prices as pp (per person), whereas Finnish ones usually show you the total. i much prefer the latter. i think it may be about couples here having more commonly separate budgets.. although i have a feeling finns are like that too. so maybe thats not it. with the british sites i saw, if u have kids though, its a bit awkward to have the price divided amongst everyone... i mean if you have 2 adults and 2 kids, and it says "1648pp"... im sure most will need to dig up a calculator to figure out how much they as a family are paying... whatever.
another thing i dont understand about the brits is "days". they are big on remembering days. like, my mother died today 8 years ago or my dog was put down today 4 years ago... or i was in an accident 9 years ago today. and its so haarrrd and how to get through this?? i realise other people pay more attention and remember anniversaries and birthdays and days in general. but for the brits, its a national sport. especially when its about being really really sad and overwhelmed and struggling about the said day. i see much less of the positive kind, eg. i met my boyfriend 4 years ago today or my child was exactly born years ago. i see it as some kind of pathological behavior.

yesterday i had physiotherapy to get some help strenghtening the injured foot/leg. ive had some muscle aches and weird stuff going on which is obviously due to the fact that i developed some muscle athropy while my leg was immobile. and im often overcompensating with the other foot, as the physio also noted. anyway i got what i was hoping for; some exercise and strenghtening tips to help me balance things out again. overall it was super educational, i think i should stick to some of the exercises even after i get back to "normal". what was funny is when i learned how exactly my right side muscles are weaker, she had me do dofferent thigs and became blatantly obvious. like, i can't separate my bloody toes in the right foot. it just feels like there are no muscles to do it at all. with the left its not an issue. crazy stuff. anyway, very pleased with the consultation.
in relation to this, i wore heels for the forst time last weekend. exactly 6 months after. i had already upgraded from flats to low wedges but this time it was proper heels. felt a bit shaky but its psychological, i just need to gain my balance and confidence again. however, wtf has hapened to my shoes?! they gave off a lot of black ..."stuff", the insides are crumbling, my feet looked hideous. so sad cos i love the shoes.
when men are nervous, at least on reality tv shows, they meddle with their suit buttons, opening or closing, back and forth. maybe in real life too, but i dont see men in suits too often, lol. but on tv its amusing. i think women on the other hand often touch their hair, moving it around. short hair women need to find other coping mechanisms, hehe.
whats with Anna Wintour and the sunglasses...? i mean wearing sunglasses inside? must be a self branding thing but makes me think she has an eye problem. perhaps she does, some people do :/ high fashion keeps puzzling me in general. the designers talk about how they want to "design for all women" or "a woman with a career and kids" "a young man who likes to mix style & leisure" and statements like that. whats never mentioned is that the customer should be in the top 1-2% richest in their country to be able to buy those 800£ dresses or 350usd shirts. and of course, underweight while at it, cos its not like they would design for unruly, big bodies :D of course, the world is full of communication where some obvious things are not said out loud. but with fashion, and ordinary people actually buying Vogue magazines, i think its something a bit extra.
saw Niina on saturday at this outdoor+indoor market/bar/restaurant stall place in Elephant & Castle. it was empty when we arrived and filled up. huge place with every kind of food from italian to vietnamese to burtgers to champagne & cheese bar (its a chain, we have one in brixton as well ;) it was lovely, with the weather and all. im enjoying summer to the fullest now.
