Milla phoned me on Thursday evening and said she was on her way to visit grandpa. She asked if I'd like to come along, and so on Friday I paid a little surprise visit to grandpa. I only stayed for a day (from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon) but was good to go because I haven't been there for a year. I know I ought to visit him more often, but somehow I never find the time - or energy, as it is rather exhausting to spend time with him. Ah well.

So I was back in Joensuu at 6pm last night, watched Huips 2006 (Mikko was on telly) and then went to see Olavi gig to Amarillo with Samu. The gig was alright. I didn't experience any Great Awakening, but the music sounded better live than on record. I also liked the attitude. What I didn't like were the drunken fans behaving badly or this girl next to me unintentionally but continuously hitting me with her purse. But I guess you can't avoid that anywhere you go.

I'd also forgotten that Samu isn't the best companion to gig. This time he was tired and hadn't eaten and all that, but I don't think I've ever seen him stay through the entire gig. Yesterday he left after some five or six songs. However, I decided to be a nice person and lingered after the gig to tell Olavi Samu had been there. That's the first time I've spoken to him in twelve or so years, and naturally felt a bit odd. And so I fled after a few sentences.

And a wise choice it was, too. I was so tired I just fell on the bed and slept almost instantly. I also slept until 10.30am, which is something I never do. Apparently, I really needed the sleep.

The summer courses start tomorrow and I still haven't finished reading the material. At least I've read some of it, go me. I'll try to pull myself together tomorrow and read the rest. Or something. Sigh.
