A new week

Sub in snow

19.1 Tuesday - Woke up 8-9 with no alarm clock. Around 9-10 we drove to Telefoto and picked up some goose necks, then to Verkkokauppa to get a sub woofer to our office and then to Mall of Tripla to pick up the speakers that Titus had ordered from Germany. We bought some lunch supplies to make sandwiches and drove to the office. At the office we attached lists and drilled holes for the new speakers. I drove home to pick up my skies and then drove Espoo. I met Kai in Oittans.

Skiing with Kai

He had rented skies and I had my own. My boots had been eaten by mice on one shaft, so now I know that the boots have been swapped with my fathers. He has mine and I need to get them back. We went skiing for at least 5 km. It was so pleasant. We got back before 6 so that Kai could return his rental skies. I drove back to Helsinki.    

20.1 Wednesday - The morning is hazy - I cannot remember what was going on. At the office we attached lists to the walls. We went for lunch to Royal Nepal in Vallila. 

Lunch time

We drove from the office to our storage place at Kaarlenkatu and carried down the last junk from the office. First I was angry, then Titus. 

It's not about what you do - it's how you do it

Renovation completed

I had pressed the whole day to go skiing. I reached the track at around 8. I skied about 25 km. It was fun and the tracks were so good I felt I was skiing in Lapland.

My fathers boot was clamping and I got a chafed back foot. I could ski all the way to Töölö Bay and from there I walked back home. I bought some milk on the way and it was about 23:00 when I reached home. I took a shower. 

21.1 Thursday - we woke up and had the standard coffee and dates. Clayhill met at our old apartment at 10 and started tearing down the last bits of the decor for the kids show Lekisdagis that we shot at the apartment.

We carried everything down to the cellar where we have a small room. From there we drove to Tripla and had lunch at Tortilla house. 

Tortilla lunch

From there we drove to a 2nd hand sports shop. Maria and Titus bought skies. It was snowing hard. Then we drove to the same ski tracks from yesterday and Titus and I skied 15 km. Now my back foot was seriously chafed.

We drove back home and went to sauna. After that some improvised tomato-tuna pasta. Good exercise.

22.1 Friday - On Friday we attached the lids to the lists after having pulled the last cables. Finally the office was done and it was neat! We walked home and bought some pike-pearch. We ate it with oven veggies. I stayed up for a bit too long and didn't sleep to well.  

These are the mornings

A flower

23.1 Saturday - We started cleaning after a slow breakfast. We started the cleaning of the whole house- Sauna at around 4:45. I played some railroad tycoon 3 on my old computer but when I tried to merge by railway company with a competitor the computer crashed and I quit. More than this, I struggle to remember.

Warmer days

24.1 Sunday - Slow breakfast. I continued the cleaning by a complete scrub of the whole bathroom. Floor tile by floor tile. Then I mopped the floor and we went through our most cluttered closet. Now it's in perfect order. Then I went through my administration. All papers are in folders, mostly in chronological order. Feels good even though I didn't get anal with it. I will look at very few of the documents ever in the future. That concluded the 2 day cleaning. 

Cleaning up

We went for a latish walk. The city is covered in sleet and we made sure not to walk too close to our office. On the way back we stopped in Lidl and bought some groceries to enable our sub-sequential sandwich making. We watched something on TV and ate our sandwiches. 

Rue difficile

25.1 Monday - On Mondays you go back to work. No alarm clock but woke up at around 8. I started the day by working on the cartoon for our podcast. The concept and most of the line art was ready so it was mostly polishing the final drawing and coloring it. With a cup of coffee and a smoothie. After that a light breakfast - two slices of bread with German salami sausage. 

Onwards! To work!

Then we walked to work and there I rigged the podcast recording studio. Joni arrived and we had our weekly meeting with the national broadcaster and then we recorded an episode about status and money. Joni left after we went trough some administration. 

Arrival of podcast host

I started slowly editing the episode and had some lunch, coffee and fastlagsbulle (bun with whipped cream and almond paste). I was done with chopping the structure at around 21:30. I walked home via buying groceries. I sat on a Persian mat, brushed my teeth and went to sleep.   

Late at work

26.1 Tuesday - I woke up exceptionally early. 4:45. I got up 5:30. Since then I have been sitting in our blue sofa and writing. The city hasn't still woken up and it is 6:25. I just read an article about a report on how our political systems are unable to deal with climate change. Feels like I've been there. 

Now it's 14:20 and I have edited the podcast episode ready and read through a contract.
