Sunday 22.2

On Sunday I biked in Espoo, which is the second biggest city in Finland and it's just next to the capital Helsinki. I biked along the water and it was crowded as many places are closed and people want to be outside. I had lunch behind Lidl on top of a small hill.

Biking was slightly slow. I didn't feel 100%. 50 km tour.

At home I had a delicious meal of Khorest Kadu Badenjan that Maria had made the day before. 10/10.

We played some backgammon and the rest of the evening I have forgotten.

Monday 23.3

I woke up first when the dawn was breaking. I fell asleep again and woke up when the day was a bit closer. And then it happened again. After breakfast I worked efficiently. The one week holiday that I had last week was really refreshing. Then I made a pizza dough. Salami, goat cheese and aubergine, and mushroom as toppings.

In the night I went for a short walk. I had been inside the whole day. I saw Titus through his window and he was playing computer.

Tuesday 24.3.2020

Today I woke up already around 7.30. Quite well rested but still a bit tired. I finished a short story about Eric Rohmer by Michel Ekman and put a bread in the oven made of yesterday's pizza dough. We had a lovely breakfast with beautiful blood oranges on a dark green plate and some more delicacies like Italian Salami (Made in Vantaa it said on the package). I have an obsession to look at houses, properties, land plots. So I checked some this morning.

An application to the Finnish Film Foundation was next on the schedule. That involves a lot of bureaucracy so we cracked on with various certificates and documents. Luckily it was done in a couple of hours.

Then we had some left over pizza for lunch. Then Titus and I went for a bike trip. We biked a circle around Helsinki and return through the central park. The trees protected us from the strong wind. 38 kilometers in three hours.

After coming home I shopped some groceries. The supermarket was giving instructions to avoid Covid. People were keeping a distance except for two drunks who also were very slow in front of me at the cashier.

Maria made a tasty vietnamese wok and now cosy snuggles at home - mudcake icecream and perhaps some Starcraft (computer) against Titus. It's windy outside.

When I wrote this I see I cannot remember what happened the three days back.
