10th of July!!! YAY!

Well it seems that the British summer is over. I had to get my jacket back from the stoarge today because it's so chilly outside. On Saturday I was still thinking that it will get warm and went to see Chris with just wearing my jeans and a shirt but not today... brrrrrr, it's cold.
Was great to see Chris again - I was getting really worried and annoyed last week because I didn't get any letters from him nor did he call me like he said he would. I was going to cancel my visit for Saturday because I didn't know wether he wanted me there or if he was even there, but decided against it because I had to at least find out why he hasn't been in touch. Well, as it turned out, on Saturday morning I had received a letter from him where he told me that he had gone a rank down which meant that he couldn't call me and when I saw him he told me they had a really busy week and that he has been writing to other people as well - so all is good. Well actually things are better than good, Chris told me the best news when I was visiting him - His case was reviewed and he will be getting out on 10th of July, which is only 52 days away!!! It made me a very happy girl!!
It's a very long process to go see him for 2 hours to a room full of people where you can only sit across the table from each others and hold hands. First I walk or take a bus to Stratford where I take a train to Colchester. Train taxes approximately an hour (sometimes less debending on how many stops it has) and from the Colchester train station I take a cab to their camp which takes another 15 minutes or so. But, even though we get to see each other for such a short time and not have any privacy what so ever, it is so worth it - it brings a big smile on my face for the whole week and I am sure it does the same to him.
We are planning to go to Finland in July when he gets out - would be SO nice to show him places where I used to hang out and introduce him to my family and friends. We were first planning to go to Spain since we wanted to spend some "summer" together, but since we will have some summer months together now after all we might just go to Finland... and I am really happy that Chris really wants to go there as well.
And not just that, I think summer is not summer unless I go to Finland at least for few days. Summer is so different there because people really wait for the summer months there. Many people have their holidays then and just chill and have a good time. In Finland during the summer the endless days roll into each other, and the Finns roll with it - There is enough time to sleep in the winter when it's dark and cold. It's impossible to explain in words what the summer there is like. Lake, sauna, cold cider, birches, sun, friends, holiday, green, new potatoes, recently cut grass... just a few of the things that comes to my mind when I think of summer and Finland.
Work has been pain in the ass lately - been taking care of the timesheets for the whole of our team and let me tell you, it can be a bit boring. People haven't been paid correctly for the past 4 months and they are not happy. It's not really my job to look after the payroll, but someone has to if they don't know how to do it... I am very seriously running out of money this month and it doesn't help that my sister hasn't paid the flight back to me yet and is saying that she might not be able to pay it until the end of the month.
I wanted to buy me an xbox or nintendo wii, but I think that has to wait for few months now since all the excess money I have will go to traveling to Colchester on the weekend to see my hunnybunny.
But that's enough for now - I leave you with this question though: Did you know that cats (and other animals) can snore? I just talked with my boss who told me about his cat that goes under the bed to sleep and snores like ****! I feel sorry for his wife because apparently my boss snores as well.
