Site indexing improved

I improved the site indexing a bit, hope it's now easier for everybody (including me) to find the stuff we're looking for..

What a nice temperature reading

Most likely, tonight our house isn't the only one with smoke coming out from the chimney.. Brrr..

Matkamessut 2010.. back to the start?

The annual Nordic Travel Fair is on again in Messukeskus, Helsinki. We had a nice time for seven hours, just touring and admiring the attractions of the world.

Seems it's been a year now with the blog running. Time sure flies, hope the people who actually read this enjoy as much as I do updating it. :)

The Hawk's Trail - winter edition

I wore a heart rate calculator on my wrist, it estimated I burned over 1700 kcal.. Might be true as it took me more than three hours to walk through this 5 km route, partially due to the amount of snow. :)

Winter look n' feel, version 3.0

I hope this view runs stable until March at least..

Biking, anyone?

Hmm I wonder if people who left these bikes are skiing these days..

On the way to work

These days it's really nice to stroll the half-a-kilometer distance from the railway station to my office taking a shortcut through the forest..

The Burger Quest

Things started when my wife mentioned she would like a cheese burger. My son happened to overhear, and of course he also wanted a burger after that.

So I set out to get takeway burgers from nearby hamburger place. It was Sunday night and to my annoyance they had closed just 10 minutes earlier.

I drove around in Mäntsälä - Shell, Juustoportti, R-Kioski, looking just for a simple plastic-wrapped prepared burger. Sure, all the places had a burger menu, but my budget was only seven euros while they wanted 15-20 euros.

Eventually, after wandering around with the car for 45 minutes or so and feeling totally frustrated, I remembered that there is a kiosk called Maja ("the Hut") in Mäntsälä. And of course they had just what I was looking for!

Another lesson for me.. if I want 24-hour service I should probably move to some bigger city..

An eventful winter weekend

On Saturday, we went to Lahti to see a hockey game. I must say I'm proud of how well the kid managed in overall through three rounds, overtime and penalty shootout, though he's only 2-years old. Too bad my team eventually lost.

On Sunday we went to Sveitsi.. directly translated to English that place would be "Switzerland", but it's actually also name of a nearby skiing slope in Hyvinkää.

The scenery is very nice at the moment.

A real winter

Today it's -21 degrees of Celcius outside, and I think it's just great!

New Year's greetings from Tampere

Ahh.. on NY's eve I was lazing in a jacuzzi with a really nice view to the city over Näsijärvi, and with all the new year fireworks blasting all around. Life as it should be! :)

Today it's time to head home via Ideapark shopping center. I hope the after Christmas sale is still on.
