Just married...

I just read that each year 3000 Finnish citiziens marry foreigners.
Men prefer Russian, Estonian and Thai women and woman Turkish, British and American men.


Hui, that is acutally kinda surprising. I understand that they take Russian and Estonian girls, they don't live that far away but Thai? Ok, maybe the met them at their trip to Thailand. The Finns seem to love Thailand as a holiday destination. But getting immediately married? Alcohol? Whatever.
I don't understand Finnish women. They have got Finnish men and other nice men around, so why to take Turkish, British (at least this I understand somehow, just IF the man speaks this awesome dialect) and American?
How to come?

And by the way: Where the f**k are the Germans? :o)

It's birthday time in Tampere.

Tampere is going to be 231 years old this weekend and of course the city celebrates.
There are a lot of things going on, events and city tours, museums and exhibitions.

If you want to check out what's going on, you can do it HERE

There are a lot of free admission events, so even without a cent you can have a lot of fun.
I figured out several things I think to be interesting. Let's see where we'll end up.

The poetry of the earth is never dead.

For moments like those it's worth living.

Dear WEATHER,

Dear Weather,
would you be so kind and stop doing this to me?
Here in Finland we only have got those 1 - 2 weeks of autumn and I really want to enjoy those days. I love coloured leaves and the fresh air. Being shrouded in a cosy pullover, with some scarf and armed with the camera there might have been brilliant moments to remember.
But, and now it's your turn: You suck!
It's not like it is all in all grey outside, no! Now it started to rain like someone is taking a shower up there.
Of course, now as I do have a new umbrella, I can go out even when it rains. But it is not just those few drops but a proper downpour. No chance to stay dry outside. And I don't want to be ill, no way.
So, what I am asking you to do right now is very very simple. Stop the water, give us some wonderful autumn days. Please.

Time goes by...

It was such a great time the last weeks.
The weather was so fucking nice, no wait it was FUCKING HOT. Oh and how I enjoyed it...

Where should I start?? Oo
Maybe just doing some retrospect...

let's start for now with the first hot days. ☼

The weather has been that fine that we spent almost the whole time outside.

Here at Koskenranta, with a fresh cold beer....

...that had its effect immediately as we got up from the grass.. :) beer and sunshine = pretty drunk at 3pm Oo


At the swing in our backyard, cos we had to wait for the bus and just enjoyed sitting there with our wine and beer and stuff..


Or even later at Groove as we have been watching the IceHockey game between Finland and USA... That was a great game actually. We all died of pulsating.


Or the days we tried to get rid of our hangovers :) and Anni's desperate try to read a book. But what the fuck was wrong XD???

So, as you can see it was such a great time... but this is only part one... two and three are following soon :o)
