Up at 0500 and of to CNL (Camp Northern Lights) via Marmal, where we dropped off T, who had a dentist's appointment. At CNL we had to find a place to stash all the equipment from Lion and Bunny, who - or that, rather - will be fitted with new radios. Once the cars were empty I had a nap before lunch. Then I watched a movie at the Suomi-house. That was a new experience for me - to have nothing better to do, I mean - though quite a few of people seem to be in that situation every now and then down here. Then it was time for the weekly Suomi-brief. In the evening I might read something light and entertaining or go for a walk, if I feel like it. The commander's conference, that is my reason (together with the aforementioned signal equipment installations) for coming here, will not begin until tomorrow afternoon. Yes, it's easy Friday.
Btw., I got my first pay yesterday. It was one day late, because the pay office had got my bank account number wrong. That's really odd, because it's the very same office that pays my salary in the Defence Forces too! I had to call them in Hämeenlinna and correct the mistake. Anyway, the money is in the bank now and it's a reasonable sum. More good news: All the Finnish peacekeeper's wages were raised by at least 2.2% as of 1. October 2009. Very nice.
