Started studying WSET this year, one of the main international programs that leads towards a diploma in wine.
It includes factors in the production and sales of different grape varieties in major and minor growing regions around the world.
Enjoying it quite much. βΊοΈ
As promised, here are a few images of classical Finnish art (late 1800s-early 1900s). π

Spent the past year becoming familiar with the Finnish fine arts scene from its early history (mid ~1800s) to today.
Done lots of studio visits with some of the best contemporary painters we have here and frequent the galleries and museums regularly.
One thing I've been up to.
The worse news is that there's a champagne festival this weekend, and I have tickets. π³
I went to a coffee festival last weekend and drank every single thing on offer, which was definitely more than 50 coffees. I got a caffeine overdose which turned into a bad flu which put me on the sofa for a week which explains why I'm back on Twitter. ππ»
I feel embarrassed, but my writing took a back seat to life. However, life is going very well at the moment.
I check Twitter every so often and also sneak peeks at my drafts and hope to get back into them sooner than later.
Taking five years to finish a script is ok, right???
Heading towards the opening film of @LoveAndAnarchy (Helsinki International Film Fest):
Kore-eda Hirokazu's "Monster." π₯
Seeing 25 films in total this year.
Taking another attempt at the script I shelved a year ago. I was too close to the material and had a lot of personal things to sort through. Let's try again. β€οΈ
I met so many amazing people on here, but the honest truth is that my anxiety decreased a lot when I stopped checking Twitter everyday.
It's been a little tough to come to terms with that because everyone here got me through the pandemic.
Nearly done with my second knitting project - a cushion cover. β€οΈ The stripe wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I'm too scared to go back.
I've now seen all the Oscar nominees for 2023 [except Aftersun which releases here in April, so I'll wait to watch in the cinema].
I think Everything Everywhere will sweep the awards, but here are my personal picks anyway:
1/
Costumes - Wakanda Forever
Sound - Top Gun: Maverick
Makeup & Hair - The Whale
Original Score - All Quiet on the ... / Babylon (tie)
Original Song - RRR, "Naatu Naatu"
4/
