Ash cloooooouuuuuuudddddddddddddddd...

The past two weeks has been all about; ash cloud, ash cloud, ash cloud and ash cloud. Well basically that was a big thing, because almost every airport in Europe was closed.   The main airports for example London, Amsterdam and Paris were all closed. Greece, Turkey and Portugal were the only countries where airplanes could fly. But WHY weren't the airplanes able to fly? 
The airplanes weren't able to fly, because it could damage the engines of the airplane, it can weaken the visibility and the cloud can get into the cabin and that is really dangerous for you.
These were really troublesome weeks for airlines. They lost almost 2 million euros per day and that's a lot!
There are people who benefitted of this. Trains, busses, car rental companies all were really happy, because everybody used these vehicles. The car rental companies knew this that people would rent cars so they raised the prices. For example my sister's husband had to drive from Greece to London, because there was no way he could fly home.
Now this chaos has settled and the air traffic is almost back to normal (atleast for now).

my easter holiday.

Tomorrow's school and the four day easter holiday is gone ..... Time goes by too fast. Well this is how i spent my easter holiday....

On Thrusday I went to the shop with my mom. We bought lots of stuff and I got a chocolate egg: ), then I went to dance practice and then went swimming with my team. That was a nice start for the holiday. On Thursday night I was with Jessica, Katri and Anni and we ate and were together and watched a film. A girls night :)
On Friday my grandma, my dad's brother and relatives from my dad's side came to our place. We ate and chatted and had a good time together with the family. My sister came from Turku aswell so that made the day even more fun.
On Saturday I had dance practice and I was supposed to go to the city after that with Veronica, but it got cancelled so I stayed home with my sister, but then we went to the cinema to watch Bounty Hunter which was really good. :)
On Sunday I woke up at 11 ate breakfast and after that we went for a 7 km jogging trip with my sister. I was proud of myself after that:) Well in the evening we watched a film that I had bought my parents for birthday. In the evening after the film I went to Katri's place and stayed the night there. We also watched a film named Guess Who.
On Monday (today) I was with Katri and her cousin Johanna and we went driving with Johanna's moped car and Katri's scooter for 2 hours. After that I went to practice and then came home. Now i'm sitting on my computer writing this sentence and waiting for Desperate Housewives to start.
