The big surprise

Finally, one week after the "big shock" I am able to write down my feelings.

Last Tuesday we were in Tampere and I wanted to go to a bookstore and buy me a book. I found it, looked at it and heard a voice over my shoulder: "May I help you?" My first reaction was: What the ***! Can't I just look at this book without being disturbed. As I turned my head, ready to be polite and answer "no thank you" I saw a familiar face. A very familiar face. A round, familiar face. My brother's face. My brother's who lives in Leeds, England. A very familiar face but in a very wrong place at a very wrong time!

And his girlfriend beside him. And my husband taking pictures of my face, looking very confused. Okay, they got me this time. They really got me. I am always the one to come up with surprises like these, arranging other people or myself to be in places where nobody expects to. But this time they really got me. Me who always said that I'm ungotchable. ;-)

Thank you Miska and Terry and Rachel. I have to admit that it was really a nice surprise. And mom, I never ever thought you could act on something like this, be a part of this mean conspiracy. Can't trust anyone these days, can you.
