NORMAL LIFE: Bruce Has Arrived!

The picture on the right is not Bruce, just a stereotypical image of an Australian wearing a bush hat that I pinched from the internet!! More importantly, Bruce arrived in Helsinki last night, after nine years of chatting online!

We had never met before and, shortly after his arrival on the Linda Line ferry from Tallinn, Estonia, we got aquainted on the comfy sofa at our place in Töölö. Amiable and chatty, I knew early on that getting on with the 'real' Bruce wasn't going to be a problem.

After downing a bottle of celebratory Rose bubbly, we went to gay bars, DTM and Hercules. The music in Hercules proved to be a bit dull until, not for the first time, Madonna's Hung Up emanated from the DJ's turntables!

The night marked the start of eight days together, taking in the sights in Riga, Stockholm and Copenhagen so keep your eyes peeled for pix!
