| The members of Mummojen Puutarha |
This afternoon I went to Kiiruu School where there was a big gathering of several hundred retired people who had come to celebrate a "spiritual weekend" in Somero. They had been to a church service this morning, and then came to the school for lunch followed by a programme of entertainment.

I was there to see my friend Elvi give a performance with the group she belongs to known as "Granny's Garden" (Mummojen Puutarha). She looked fantastic!

| Large turnout in Kiiruu School this afternoon |
The former archbishop, Jukka Paarma, gave a talk in which he considered the eternal questions as to why we are here on earth and what is the meaning of life. I would love to have stayed to hear the answers to these questions but I am afraid Niko and Luca were not prepared to wait any longer so I had to leave early. The meaning of their lives this afternoon was to go to R Kioski and buy a tikkari (lollipop).
Still, what I saw of the event was a big success and the performance of the Granny's Garden reading group was really moving. Off for an early night tonight as it's back to work for me tomorrow. Help.....
