Free bicycles!
It's interesting what kind of things make a hotel stay more enjoyable. It's really really nice to stay in a hotel in the Netherlands and get a bike to use, for free. At least the Mercure Hotel in Groningen offers free bike rental for it's customers. And as .nl is quite flat, bikes are the way to get around in the town.

Silva savuporosulatejuusto
Kaupassa törmäsin sulakejuustoon, jossa oli savuporoa, ei E621:ta, ja joka oli pakattu purkiin, joka tyhjänä käy juomalasista. Hintaakin oli alle 4 euroa. Kotona kävi ilmi että se on jopa hyvää. Nerokasta!

Setä osaa piirtää
Tänään törmäsin pitkästä aikaa kovin kauniiseen taiteeseen. Tekijä on suomalainen nuori mies. Ja se osaa piirtää. Katsokaa vaikka.
Noita kun saisi kotiin seinälle, niin maailmassa olisi valoa.
Vaikea valita noista edes suosikkia.

Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby
Am I a geek or what? Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby is the best book I have started to read for ages. It's funny, interesting and informative.

Kahvila Soihtu
Kirjanvaihtohylly, ilmainen langaton netti, joka oikeasti toimii siitä vaan, laaja valikoima teelaatuja ja hyvää kaakaota, taidetta, leivonnaisia ja lautapeleja. Kahvila Soihdusta löytyy kaikki mitä kivalta pieneltä kahvilalta voi tahtoa, eikä sijaintikaan ole huono.
Allekirjoittaneelta kirjanvaihtoon jäi Värisyttävä kosketus (eroottisia kauhutarinoita) ja mukaan lähti Desmond Morrisin Hellyyden anatomia.

Olivia D - Ordinary
There's nothing everyday about you He said you stand out You got wings on your back You got bells on your toes You stand out Modern girls don't get by on their looks anymore Yeah, modern girls they take every oppurtunity knocking at their door And sometimes we all feel like ordinary people, yeah And some days we feel like we just stick out But this time it's enough to be ordinary by your side And I've got ordinary hair got an ordinary stare got an ordinary life I've got some ordinary friends(?) I've got ordinary stress and must confess If I'll see you tonight I'll wear an ordinary dress. There is a judge and a jury living in my head I trip out Said "Are you strong enough to be perfect enough? Are you gonna give up?" Actually I guess that you don't know me at all Cause I'm a modern Cinderella whose looking for a fellow to take her to the ball And sometimes we all feel like ordinary people, yeah And some days we feel like we just stick out But this time it's enough to be ordinary by your side Maybe in your eyes that's what makes me shine. I've got ordinary hair got an ordinary stare got an ordinary life I've got some ordinary friends(?) I've got ordinary stress and must confess If I'll see you tonight I'll wear an ordinary dress. And you need to know that sometimes I may fall apart Before ever, before I ever even start And you need to know I bleed to go to Heaven So I can a better a view The angels have a better view Or maybe they're just ordinary too.

Autumn loveliness
Autumn, my favourite season, is probably at its loveliest right now. I should dedicate more time in breathing it in: kicking the leaves, oogling at the colours and just smelling the air.
Sidenote: I tried to find Janka's blog entry about seasons, but failed.

Pyöräily töihin
Maksiminopeus: 29,1 km/h
Keskinopeus: 15,6 km/h
Matka: 8,3 km
Aika: 32 minuuttia
Liikennevaloja oli monta, joten ehkä vähempiliikennevaloinen pidempi reitti olisi nopeampi. Tosin nytkin meni piirun vähemmän aikaa kuin bussilla menolla.

Barnacle geese
Today my walk was pleasantly interrupted by a strong want to stop to observe hundreds of barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) eating on a field not far from my home and severa groups of 4 or 5 of them occasionally flying around.

Riding a bicycle in London
I visited London last week and got to do some cycling on a borrowed Brompton. The Brompton was wonderful and I really want one, but that's not what this entry is about.
I was surprised how easy cycling in London was. The car traffic seemed to be ok with people cycling behind them and the traffic in general was moving at a relatively slow speed, making the whole experience feel a lot safer than cycling in traffic in Turku (I don't have enough experience on cycling in Helsinki to form a good opinion on it).

The joy of shopping for clothes
Today for the probably first time in my life I experienced the joy of shopping for clothing. I found 6 nice looking garments for total of 6 euros from UFF sale, didn't try any of them on before buying them. The result: 3 garments that are usable as such, two require small fixes (new top button, replacing or removing the shoulder pads) and one does not look nice on me but the fabric can be used for something. No skirts amongst my finds unfortunately but two very nice dresses.

Worldskills in Helsinki
I was today watching the Worldskills competition in Helsinki. It was very interesting. I had wonderful time there and feel tempted to go back tomorrow. I'm slightly undecided though, as I do not yet have company for going there tomorrow, and it would easily take most of my day. Aldo, I think one does not yet learn tomorrow about the results and I'm afraid that the winning work will not be properly shown to the audience, so there could be lack of closure of a sort.
