kiva käydä ostaa simaa klo 21:33 ja itsepalvelukassalla kassa kutsuu myyjän paikalle koska kyse 0.8% alkoholipitoisesta tuotteesta

ensi vuonna vois tehä omaa simaa

It's valborg! Anyone doing anything fun? My grandma made mjöd/mead/sima and doughnuts, so I'm heading over to pick some up before going to my friends for a few hours. After that I'll head to my family to barbecue and then we'll walk down to the school to see the big fire.

I get to cuddle the baby! 👶
