Sun!

In November!

[long baffled silence]




Oh no come with me to Helsinki
Where the streets are wide and so am I
Wide open for love
Any love from anyone


Well, not really, but consider watching this, though...

This is an ad-free blog

so if you wonder why I added one, I have my own cow in the ditch (as we say, don't ask me why), because they published two of my photos. So if you want to look at some sights of Helsinki, there are some, I suppose.

Hellsinki is apparently the official name of the city now. Take a look at the new tourist map cover...

The Helsinki Big Bang

Location: Helsinki - a quiet, little and cold bird nest.
Time: Thursday afternoon.

Place: Helsinki city police center.


Phone rings and wakes everybody up.

Officer: Yes? Is it another stolen Habbo Hotel coin again?
Some woman: Somebody fired a gun!

That was something, really something. The officer gasped and left the building immediately in order to help the victims.
Not just him, but 5 police patrols.
All wearing two body armours each.
They were in such hurry they forgot their helmets, but what the heck, at least they were on the crime scene soon enough and found the block of flats easily.
They climbed up and opened the door of the questionable home.

Behind the door was standing a mother with her two little kids.*
One of them had jumped on an empty package of juice.

* Not me, but could have been. It's possible I may have to start thinking properly what to wear at home. You never know who is going to visit you.

Hellsinski freezes over

Happily I'm quite happy,
because this isn't funny
and one's tears will freeze here.
