Babysitting Benjamin



Danny and Sirkku went to have dinner with a few Finnish colleagues from Fida International. There's a nice restaurant just half a mile from the new house called Mediterranean. I decided to stay at home with Daniella and Benjy. Quite soon after her parents had left and after her late-night noodles, Daniella fell asleep peacefully. Benjy and I stayed up to watch movies.

But lo and behold, Sirkku and Danny returned home early! They made it to the restaurant, but no one else ever came. Apparently the rain earlier today had been so heavy that many roads were still cut off completely. So the other Finns enjoyed a meal in a separate restaurant closer to town while Danny and Sirkku spent quality time together at Mediterranean. And me, what did I have for supper? Fresh prawns, bought directly from local fishermen off the beach (and then grilled) in the backyard. No complaints here.
