Ei mitään uutta - Nothing new
Neulerintamalta ei paljoakaan uutta. Haruni etenee vähitellen, mutta ei näytä vielä miltään.
Nothing new from the knitting front. Haruni makes slow progress but does not look very good yet.
Jane, thank you for the award and my apologies for being this late. I'll think about it and get back to it later. Also, thank you for asking about the Icelandic volcano--yes, we were affected. My husband was on a business trip in Budapest, Hungary last week and supposed to come back on Friday. Then the flights were cancelled and the airspaces closed due to the ash. He and his colleagues had no idea of when they would be allowed to fly back, so on Sunday they rented a minibus (with a driver) and travelled non-stop through Slovakia, Poland and the Baltic countries. It took more than 20 hours to get back home. I think almost everyone knows someone who was stuck somewhere and the magazines are full of amazing stories of how people got to wherever they needed to be.

Terveisiä Budapestista palannelle herra Katajalalle! Kotiuduin itse vajaat 3 tuntia sitten 10 päivän "pidennetyltä viikonlopulta" Budapestista (lento oli Helsinki-Vantaalla jo klo 15 mutta junamatka kotiin vei aikansa, varsinkin kun ensimmäinen mahdollinen juna oli täynnä).
Auton vuokraaminen oli kyllä fiksu veto. Meille matkan venyminen ei onneksi tuottanut ylipääsemättömiä ongelmia.
- Onkohan kyse siitä jonkun mainitsemasta yhteisöllisyyden kokemuksesta kun tuntee välittömästi sympatiaa kuullessaan muista samantapaisessa tilanteessa olleista :)
