Home sweet cottage, Finland


Need I say that 4 days is far too little time to spend in an environment like this?

Anyway, last weekend was spent visiting family and a few friends in Finland.
Time passed fast. Schedule were fully booked, like it tends to be on Finland visits.
Tummy was full of great food constantly. And new experiences were gained.
Also spent my last day, which was supposed to be dedicated for my little cousin + longboarding, in bed drinking hot juice and MSM. Yes, I got ill. Swollen throat, fever feel, head full of pressure and muscles all weak. Great way to end a short holiday, right?

The weather in Oslo (Rånåsfoss actually, as I came to spend my weekend at Ingar's parents house.) is great for once, so I'm off out for some longboarding..therefore - let the pictures speak:


day 1 was:
parents (+food), grandparents (+food), cousins (+food), birthday of cousin (+food), outdoor hottub, swimming and did i mention...food?


day 2 was:
wild strawberry picking, ants in my pants, swimming, Chris and Veera (!yay!), beachvolley, Sanni+Tuomas+Jussi, Varkaus pub evening incl. Reea+Santtu+Tommi+Henri, nighttime outdoor hot tub+sauna+swimming+bbq.


day 3 was:
Visiting family: we finally have a newcomer! a little baby girl! a little monkey! (unfortunately this means that in two years time I will be playing horse...I dunno if I'm quite looking forward to that part ;)

and Kuopio Rock -festival with our summer ex-change student, Marily. Nightwise was playing!
Unfortunately I couldn't take my camera to the area with me. Maybe I'll post some photos later if I get ahold of the pictures from our mini-camera that was with us.
I wasn't really 100% at the festival...guess the illness was kicking in!
Saw some old friends though, which was nice.


day 4, the last one:
Laying in bed till 3pm. Feeling like the end of the world was coming. ;-) Thought of heading to the bus station at midnight and taking a 5hours bus ride to the airport to make the 8am flight was not tempting.

Little by little I got some energy to get through the day, and later the bus ride. With an extremely low energy level I did cut Ingar's hair, watch everyone swim, enjoy the sunshine and try do some evening fishing (without the same success as up North of Norway).

Now back in Norway. Still coughing and sneezing, but feelin' betterrr.
Next week it is the Øya festival. I'm looking forward to it. Big time.

  1. This is sometimes also known as trip protection insurance, which covers such
    scenarios as death or illness, strike, cruise company
    or airline bankruptcy. South America is one of the most unique, interesting, and
    exotic locations on Earth, and is full of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

    Either way, you will be asked to provide your personal information for the passport application.

  3. Another available treatment option that can be done at home without
    a prescription is a topical ointment. Once you do, you will know which type of remover to buy that will not irritate your skin.

  4. It is unfortunate that most men avoid wearing
    ties now because of the discomfort factor. The tackle is going to require an initial investment but the cost per hair rig will work out far less than buying them ready made
    from a fishing tackle shop. The self-tie bow ties is a
    test of skill in tying it.

  8. (Click here to learn more about overtraining) This step also includes motivation and dedication.
    A meal plan can be very detailed and it can be tied to eating
    great things like fish and nuts to eat. However, it's also easy to lose weight, even if the process itself can be slow.
