The unity is back to the city.

Ten days at the lighthouse did wonders to the unity. Let me tell you about my time there:
The troll finally get to the harbour after 2 boats and 2 ferries, jumped in a little motor boat (got private transport) felt the wind in the hair, smiled. Got surprised by the amount of ice still in the sea, the wind was cold, very cold. The lighthouse appeared in the horisont, the troll smiled even more. Some of the island still covered in ice, brrr.

Worked like a mad troll as plenty of tourists were suppose to come the next day, 25 of them spending the night. Well the wind increased and no one was able to get to the tiny island for 7 days. So there the troll was alone with an older man, boss's husband. Prepared everything for the season, and enjoyed the quietness,the wind and the lonelyness. 2 constructers were finally able to get there as they are fixing the tower, so there i was with them a few days until 30 army dudes appeared. So finally i wasn't all alone as somewhere around me i had over 30 men. They were very happy to see the female troll there and gave her lots of attention.

Then another girl came there, who i work with. The troll and the girl had a lot of fun, lots to do, tourists, lunches, dinners, breakfasts, swinging an axe around chopping wood, quiding, and laughing until we were blue in the face at bad kitchen humor. The troll was in charge at the lighthouse when boss's husband was gone, and well of course the generator (don't get electricity from the mainland) stopped. so, the troll had to play hero and go around checking the three generators wondering what had caused it and was able to turn one on, heh.

The troll is very happy with the 10 days, was fun to do physical labour, chopping wood, carrying 2000kg of cement, being physically exhausted in the evening, dirty, bruised, and hungry. The time alone also caused a lot of pondering about old things, the mind shouldn't ponder about anymore, felt sad, actually regretted things. Then the wind shouted to the mind that hey, stop, enjoy the sea! and so the unity did. At the moment the unity feels connected, we'll see for how long.
Good to be back, and meet lovely friends.
