Basically next week is ok by me. Monday is not great, my parents are coming from Italy in the evening, but any other day is ok.Good idea to have a plan B like Yki suggested coz the weather seems a little temperamental lately.

By the way, I'm available to meet tomorrow. Is anyone else coming, and if so, where shall we meet? Stockmann?

I dont think I can meet tomorrow- Sophie is exhausted and just a day of normality before we go to London on Friday would be great for her. She has had 2 nights in Stockholm, a day in Helsinki, a day in Tallinn and today she'll be taking my brother sight seeing again!

We both need to recover!

Any day apart from Monday will be good for us next week

Hi again Yki!

just checked my parents arrival time and its pretty late in the evening, so perhaps of all the common choices thursday would be best for me However wed also possible.

Busy Sophie, already a tour guide at her young age!! Good idea to have a quiet day in between.

So see you guys next week!!

Hi,

I might be interested in joining your picnic group. I have two daughters aged 3. They speak French and Finnish but are used to hear English as this is the language we're using at home with my husband. What do you do in Stockman on thrusdays if I may ask?

We usually meet up, have lunch or coffee (or rather cake...) and chat about ourselves, our experience as mums, our kids and their adventures. We are from all sorts of nationalities, including finnish . I believe there are still some pregnant mums-to-be joining as well. Not sure, coz I missed out quite a few meetings in the last few months (my daughter is 4 and half months).We started meeting when some of us were still pregnant, so we kind of supported one another through pregnancy-related doubts, worries and so far. New 'members' are always welcome (we are after records as to length of tables we occupy... )

We speak english together, our own language (if not english) to our kids (and to the other kids, hello confusion... ). This weeks's meeting is not really happening though, I believe most people are busy. Some people are away for the summer, but the rest of us will still be meeting during the hot (??) season. We met in Stockmann during the winter, but tend to tour bars over the summer. Next week is a special picnic outing coz our friend Yki and lovely M :star: are leaving Finland soon, alas :cry:

Thanks for the details :D The picnic sounds lovely as well. It would be nice for my daughters to see other children as we are not going to France this summer. It'll be also a nice way for them to hear more English (and with better accents!) than Mummy and Daddy.

Hi Mom & Moms, haven't seen you for a long long time. Have been really busy with my new home renovation project. I will be very happy to join you for the picnic on Thursday if the weather is good. Looking forward to see you all.

By the way, Micky, I've PM you last week, have you received it? Congratulations to your new born baby (4 months old?).
