Valtteri and Grandma

Picture speaks for itself ? Grandma 85years reading Viivi & Wagner comics to Valtteri 6years ;o)

Ruka April 2006...

Had a very relaxing 3 days in Ruka snowboarding/skiing with the whole family. Once again Nina did a great job to get Valtteri (now 6years) on his skiis and skiing the whole 3 days. This time I tried my best to "co-live" the beginning pain and was the free to share the joy once he got going ;o) Otherwise I spend a lot of time to go to the woods with Otto (snowboarding) and Vili (skiing).



Very nice !

"Harmillinen virhe" ....

I was cooking from (one of the best (maybe the best) cooking magazine in Finland) "Glorian Ruoka ja Viini" and bumbed into this in the magazine:

Adjustment
Vexatious mistake had slipped into Garlic-Anchovy parfait(?) recipe in our last publications at page 44. Ingredient list stated that instead of 1 can of anchovy you should put 1kg of beetroot.

Would have been nice to try that with 1kg of beetroot instead of 1 small can of anchovy ... after all it was supposed to be Galic-Anchovy parfait ;o)

Ignite your bones....

"Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones. and I will try to fix you."

.... Some that specific part has always ignited my bones.

Hitting ~50 years old nail...

Nina finally got what she wanted (more sun) and two gentlemen came to cut down 5 of our nice pine trees... It took the guys about 9 hours and quite a bit of acrobacy.
While cutting the logs into smaller chunks an "old urban legend" was proven to be true - they hit to about 50 years old nail hidding inside this old tree. This makes you just belive in Mr. Murphy and his law, and wonder what is the likelyhood of hitting to this very small nail inisde 35m long about 50cm thick tree ? enough ?)

Foo Fighters

It's so bloody nice to find new things/experiences nowadays ! Few weeks ago I bought bunch of new CDs from www.cdon.com - Coldplay's newest, old Supertramp one's which I had previously as LP's, the latest from my (all time favorite) Stevie Wonder who has THE VOICE, THE INTERPRETER of all times ;o) , and the newest Foo Fighter CD.
I actually bought In Your Honour from Foo Fighters (www.foofighters.com) just because of song DOA, but found that this double CD is something I've not experienced earlier... ever.

Fantastic total stuff x 2 in totally two different genres.

Totally love both of those two totally different CDs.

Totally.




Just feel sort of gratitude to the Foo Fighters guys to give me this ... and also that I'm still entitled to be able to exlore/enjoy new ;o)

Eventful.com...

Found this nice new (?) service http://eventful.com following http://microformats.org discussion.... I signed up, (found out that unfortunately there is virtually nobody (yet) from the Helsinki capital area,) and started playing around. I invited some of my good friends to join with bad results ;o) . Tero-Markus did join and started making his own groups, which is great but we two don't really yet make a "social networking event site" functional in this geo area ;o)

I haven't really compared it to Meetup, other group-event-activity sites or groups in MSN etc. but somehow I like the feel of Eventful - It really looks something I could use a lot in my various groups of interests so I wish Finns would find it soon...
