Busy, busy

No posts for two weeks?

I have been online seldom in the past few weeks. Here's a short update...

Our first batch of five puppies were big enough to return to DARG at the weekend and are now boarding there. We went to visit them on Monday and already Belle had a home set up for her where she will move next Monday. We were all happy to see one of them move on to a home. Of course, as we left after dropping them up, we managed to pick up another litter, this time a group of four ten-day old puppies needing bottle feeding and help when nature calls. A lot of work. Minna hasn't slept much this week. We still have the second litter, the three small breed dogs, one of which we are keeping and taking with us to Finland (although he will arrive later than us as he has to be cleared for vaccinations and such).

I have been doing a lot of web development and have two new projects going, one of which I am hoping will be a success once we are back in Finland; the other being more of a side project.

Finland are doing OK in the Ice Hockey World Championships this year, and they play USA in the last quarter final in an hour's time. Hoping for a win, but not expecting one. They will play hosts Russia in the semi final if they go through, the only unbeaten team in the competition.

QPR finished their season at the weekend, finishing 18th (of 24). They managed to survive relegation again, and should look to improve the squad and hold on to the manager for consistency - something they haven't had much of in the past two seasons.

On the count down to Finland, we are now just 38 days away from landing in Helsinki. That's just 5 weeks.

Last night, Milja, Mila, one of her friends, and I went to see Hot Fuzz, which was amazing. Very, very funny but twisted in with action, suspence and horror, too. We've heard of people not finding it funny and it being a waste of two hours, but I think it will be one of the best films this year. We all really enjoyed it.
