Malin on the Great Wall.

This day has certainly been interesting in a modern thinking-view. After taking a really long breakfast with Ålands radio in the background, some knitting and reading, we decided it was time to grab the bull by its horns. We had to do the dishes.


Heating the water.

At home a Siemens assists me, but here we had to grab some wood and start a fire in the water cistern. While it was boiling, we took the grand tour around the island. No seals were spotted, but a lot of marks, leaved by people as far from the 1900th century. Both of us a has a Swedish and a Finnish membership, so we took a picture with our feet on both sides of the landmark that shows the border.

As soon as the water was warm , we carried the dishes down the narrow ladder and got to work. We managed surprisingly well and decided to try Lilla Märket at the same time. That means getting ourselves cleaned using the boiled water, a bucket and a positive mind. Stripping in a small building outside gives you perspective, that’s for sure.


On the top.

Today we also climbed all the stairs and took a look over the whole island from the top of the lighthouse. Malin is afraid of heights, but sat there for quite a long time. Much more comfortable with Kiki on her side.


The rescue.

The battle of the birds also continued today. The Parus major (Great tit) is apparently planning to taking over Märkets building. Kiki was focused to help them out to freedom and chased them threw the roofopening. One of the birds didn’t want to fly by it’s own, so she had to carry it out by hand. A happy ending!

We got rapports from Wiklöf Holding Arena today. Even though IFK Mariehamn lost its game to KuPS, they managed to keep their place in Veikkausliiga. Congratulations!
