Good evening!
(Edit: "Good night!" Took me long enough to write this...)
My apologies for not providing a photo of the dreaded book cover gluing machine. I didn't get the chance to work with the rest of those books. Instead I was ordered to clean up more of the blocks you saw in the yesterday's post. Before we could finish all the 3000 of those, we were ordered to bag screws.
So we did:
"Ten screws in one bag."
I managed to fill 60 bags before the day was over. Granted I had to see the supervisor to further discuss my current monetary situation and if it had caused for me to become "self employed" and whether that affected my qualification for the rehab. We were still quite unaware of my current status, so further exploration into the legalities shall ensue. Everyone was agreeing that I'm in an exceptional position as I don't really need any "employment" for which to rehab to, but I would also still benefit from the rehab to become fit to work.
So... we are still trying to figure out what happens next.
After rehab, I went home shortly to get Leo's piano notes and then left to fetch the boys from school. It was time for Leo's piano practice again, so I left him there and took Miro home.
While home I had a call from my brother who said I should maybe check out some other properties before blindly buying the one my aunt and her husband were offering me. I might find cheaper ones he said. Vera did that while listening to the call I was in, and presented me with one that was less than half the price, and in the vicinity of the Village of Hollola.
So, after picking up Leo from his piano studies, I decided I'll take a look at the place and drove us to Hollola to see the area.
There wasn't much to see as we didn't find the lot we were looking for, we just drove around for a while and ended up in the parking area of some school. When driving back we saw some old lady in a small yellow car turning back on the same parking lot, and tailing us, driving very slow like she was lost or something.
Anyway, we decided to turn to Hongistontie, but just as we were turning, we saw a nice sunset I just had to capture:
Sunset in Siikaniemi (see it on the Map)
After I had shot this, I put my camera back into the bag, put it behind the driver's seat and stepped back into the car to notice Leo was just marveling over some cattails in the trenches. I then turned over to drive off again but suddenly halted.
Did I just see a wolf cross the beams?
No, this "wolf" had a bit stubby feet to be a wolf.
A dog? (Leo was simultaneously thinking it was a bunny with short ears.)
One of these was standing in front of our car:

Yep, I didn't have time for taking my camera, but I jumped out of the car and the animal approached me with curious look. Turned out it wasn't a blood thirsty wolf, but a dog with extremely short legs. And a sparkle of intellect in its eyes.
After I had examined the animal and noticed it lacked a collar, and asked if it had escaped somewhere, it seemed to notice me glancing at a small yellow car incoming from the same road we had just turned off from, and right after seeing it, started running towards it. The car came to halt, and its door opened.
We queried the car's driver, the same lost old lady, if the dog was hers, so she told us it was her daughter's and that she wasn't going to drive over it. We were relieved and left the spot. Good thing she found what she was looking for! :)
This was a fun ride.
When we got home I learned that I had drove off by few kilometers, that I shouldn't have taken the turn to Siikaniemi after all.
What's the lesson here? Read the maps before you go out on a wild goose chase, or better yet, use the GPS software on your phone!
It was a cute little wolf dog though...
