Rainy and windy day around here. In the morning I stepped out of the building and listened “Nice Weather for Ducks” of Lemon Jelly… it was helpful!
Today is the day of Mikael Agricola, “the father of Finnish written language”.

I have the ticket for the concert of José González in the 28 of April at Kulttuuritalo, Helsinki!
And as a teaser José González playing “Love Will Tear us Apart” (Joy Division),
For the people who didn’t believe me I have evidence! A photograph from last Sunday of me on my weekly Winter Swimming. There was plenty of snow so we had a little snow fight! I got an headshot!
Thanks Lina for the photo.
Another photo I took in the same day,
Helsinki, Finland… February… +3°… I was expecting -20° and polar bears in the streets… disappointed!!
“Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It’s the country for me.
You’re so near to Russia,
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
You’re so sadly neglected
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.
Finland has it all.”
