Hello, you've landed on the moon. Or the sea right off the main beach on Lauttasaari. Whichever suits your mood better.


I went for a little walk on the sea yesterday. I'm quite glad that I went yesterday morning because the sky was really clear, this morning there was fog everywhere. Not that it stopped me from going for a walk this morning either but it's a whole other atmosphere.

Here and there you can see signs of how the ice was formed. For someone who walks on the sea for the first time it might look unsafe but the real dangerous places look a tad different.



What's great right now is that the ice is covered in snow and therefore not slippery. Of course it's cool seeing the ice patterns but walking on slippery ice is so much harder!

I did go look for a couch yesterday. I went to the closest recycling center, they had about five couches and of course the only decent one was already sold. There was another great one that was about 400 euros but there is no way it could have fit.

I would have settled for one of the couches, a blue one, but if I'm going to buy a couch there and have it delivered, might as well buy a reading table at the same place. They used to have really great reading tables but this time around there was nothing. I guess I really should head out to the Espoo center.

I could of course buy a new couch, it's not like I can't afford it. Heck I can afford a damn great leather couch if I want one but the thing is, I'll probably be moving away in July and I'd much rather just give away my furniture than try to sell it. If I spend a hundred bucks on a small couch, I won't mind just giving it away to someone who might need it. If I spend 500 euros on a couch, chances are I'd want some money back at the end.

The good part about the recycling center is that it overlooks part of the bay. In the summer time it's rather gloomy but I like the feel when it's covered in snow.




I also went to Stockmann for some flowers, they did not have pretty bouquets so I settled for some potted plants. I bought a plant that originally lives in Africa but it says on the paper that it can survive in temperatures between 12C and 25C. I also could not resist buying a potted rose, the kind that dies in about three weeks. Not only is it pink but they covered the leaves in glitter!






And the UDI chapter deadline is today. We have everything done. Now I should concentrate on my article on risk management. I'm supposed to have worked on it during the holidays, for the moment I still only have a page or so written. Oh joy.

Day 67 - 10.01.10

There is a lamp with a tree in front of it right before my window. Every single time I see it I think I must go outside and take a photo of it but I always forget. So here is a photo of the tree and lamp as seen through my window.
