Action and old friends

So this weekend it was time for the annual Action festival at my old church. And of course I went!
Beautiful people and music by Hillsong Stockholm and Fila’s own band. Plus Andreas Forsberg with band, who was forcing everyone he saw to buy his new CD.
And I even saw my cousin’s daughter Elin! Either I’m getting [...]

I have some work to do

Here is the infamous sign – now with the addition of Oliver’s skull.

And yes, it says ubuntu on our door as Matteo has declared it a Linux zone. I have not yet succumbed to the idea…
If you want to see what my colleagues have done in their lives you can just look them up on PubMed.
Friday evening [...]

Today

today’s topic: piercings between breasts and when you alt. your child got rid of the pacifier (tutten)
today’s e-mail: “If you feel bad about your “environmental footprint” in the WB lab, hug the hood, remove pollution and plant some new boxes of pipette tips there.” A not so angry letter about how you can improve the [...]

Saker som gör mig förbryllad

Jag upptäckte att även Åbo har en konstens natt. De gjorde reklam för den i veckans skräptidning. Med stor glädje skriver de att man efter kl 17 bara kommer att behöva betala 4 euro i inträde till konstmuseet. Och hoppsansa, om man är under 16 år slipper man in gratis! Museet håller dessutom öppet ända [...]

Some things

I got my 13th mumin-mug this weekend
At work I’m forced to wear a lab-coat from the 80’s, unfortunately my outfits lack the shoulderpads to fill it up.
In our office people spontaneously burst into song – “boom boom boom boom, I want you in my room, lets spend the night together, together in my [...]

Medieval market

This weekend Turku celebrates its glorious past by having a medieval market. This is in the same league as Night of Arts in Vasa or maybe something that Skansen would do. So beautiful and really family oriented.

             
Two guys get to beat the crap out of each other. When I first saw them they [...]

Midsummer

Celebrated midsummer in Helsinki this year. I think it was a first. And even though I’ve been living in the city for like 6 years it was the first time that I visited Svartholmen as well!
Svartholmen is where my church has its campsite. It’s four mold infested buildings + a sauna + an outdoor toilet [...]

Movement

My TV dependency has reached new levels.
When I moved in to my new flat I quickly came to the conclusion that they only support digi-boxes with cable function in this building. Crap for me since my box (50 euros I had to pay for it two years ago!) only functions with antenna.
With the excuse that I’m [...]

Farewell

I got this pin from my care group. It translates to something like: Where was it I was supposed to go?
I think it’s wonderful how, as a Christian, you don’t just say goodbye and good luck to your friends but how you can actually bless them and pray that God will lead them in the [...]
