Birthday

I got this little image as my 47th birthday postcard. Please, forgive me this twisted self irony, but I really feel kind of an alpha-male... I have an upcoming solo show in a local gallery. I mean this week!

We have been at home since last Friday evening and all routines plus new things seem to find their place perfectly. I did some salmon teriyaki, grilled tofu with chinese mushrooms and sushi last Saturday. We finished the evening with champagne!

Riitta has started to make walks outside so we are proceeding, though still very emotional and she is sometimes exhausted. I have lots of time (working in our studio only max. 3 hours every day), so we do share all responsibilities of taking care of the baby. Fortunately the seal puppy sleeps at night 4-hour periods! I do get my privacy and solitude in the early morning hours, when everybody else is at sleep and the coffee with a fresh newspaper gives me time to think and relax.
