Bouquet of Light: DIY Lampshade from Newspaper for Newcomers with Tight Budget

I guess all immigrants have some light bulbs in their luggage. Everything costs more in our dreamland.

If there's no bulb cover or lampshade in your apartment and the light stings your eyes, try my latest "invention". You're welcome.

Silvia's Bouquet of Light

To make this bouquet of light, you need: 

• 1 thin A3 piece of paper, ideally newspaper-like; (I used a catalogue left in our apartment)
• 1 string of any kind to tie - ribbon band/rubber band/twist tie;
• and 1 paper clipper or 1 piece of tape.

How to Tell the Date and Time in Finnish – Tricky or Easy?

Hei syyskuu. Hei sateinen ja pilvinen päivät. Onko sininen taivas todella poissa kesän kanssa?? I miss the Finnish blue sky... Will it come back any time soon?

Tänä aamupäivällä I finally understood how to tell time in Finnish after this video by KatChats - my current favorite channel for bite-sized lessons.

Telling time in Finnish is tricky for English speakers because Finns normally say "twenty to eleven" instead of "ten forty". Kat explains very well and briefly. I can easily tell time now!
