Mum, what’s that on her leg? Shh, let’s just put the clothes on. / Yes, but what it is? Let’s talk later about it. / It’s a tattoo. / [cry loudly]
Kaakelin viemää nro 8
[singing loudly a religious hymn] / Singing is so good for the soul. / Would you like to join us? We have a reading group at 18 o’clock. At the church hall.
Å-festin jälkeen
Viikko sitten olin Porvoon Å-festissä, ja oli innostavaa.
Moni kaipasi englanninkielisiä pienlehtiä, ja vaikka sinnikkäimmät ostivat ilman käännöstäkin, tässä edes yksi.
Paula, this is for you: zine with my translation — if the google translator didn’t manage it.
I’ll do it myself
I also wanna crochet! Let’s look for yarn. / Will you make a potholder? No, I make mittens! / Isn’t it too difficult? I WANNA! Well, I show you. // Your turn! Just keep on doing yourself. / After 5 mins: Now it’s your turn! Bring it to mum for a while.
Granny’s turn! Auntie’s turn! Dad’s turn! Other auntie’s turn! Grandpa’s Turn! Should you go to toilet for a change?
So. Do it yourself again. Okay. // I crocheted mittens ready at home. Those became my dearest mittens. Because I did myself, and because the whole family helped me.
Though I guessed, that at least grandpa cheated me.
Kaakelin viemää nro 7
That exercise was too heavy. Yes, it was. / Even last time my heart fluttered many hours. Have to say to the leader. Who will? We have to. / Hi, here’s the leaflets for you. ’Soft exercise for every age’.
Kaakelin viemää nro 6
Blah blah blah. / Blah blah blah. / By what side I could pass you, ladies? / Oh, everything goes for us!
Kaakelin viemää nro 5
This mild sauna is nice. Comfy heat. / Yes it is. / Splash! Splash! Splash!
Pienlehteilyä
Å-festiin on alle kaksi viikkoa. Jotain pientä uutta aion saada myyntipöydälle!
/ Less than two weeks to Å-fest. I’m gonna bring something tiny and new to the counter!
How do you look at me?
Kaakelin viemää nro 4
Oh my… Where is it? Can I help you? / I did put it here… There definitely is no towel with stripes… / Oh… Where could it be? Mum! What’s keeping you there?
Hallauksessa
Hallaus julkaisi tuplanumeronsa #24, #25 Japani-teemassa runoni ja piirrokseni — ja tuhdin paketin muuta luettavaa ja katsottavaa. Suosittelen! /
Hallaus published my poem and drawing in #24, #25 issuu’s theme Japan — and much more to read and watch. I recommend!
Kaakelin viemää nro 3
Five minutes. / Welcome to exercise!
