A series of unexpected events

Things you do not expect to see while walking through North Oxford:

Photobucket

Things you do not expect to need in the normal course of your work: a Finnish-English legal dictionary. Damn, but Finnish is a difficult language...

Things you do not expect on walking into the workroom: for the power-assisted door to be neither powered nor of assistant and to hit you hard on the shoulder instead. You also do not expect your colleague to laugh as a result.

Things you do not expect after the August we've just had: the glorious weather this afternoon. That helped somewhat :)

Finnish may look difficult but at least all the letters are sounded...

Heh, that's useful if you're speaking it. Sadly, if you're trying to get a translation online, you're more or less out of luck - the sites are there, but they don't recognise the words I'm entering :S And I can only find English-Finnish dictionaries in the library, which is definitely less use!
