What I did today

Posted by Sari

Jukka has managed to get some variant of carpal tunnel syndrome on his hands which has made writing a bit difficult, but he is on the mend. One would think I would suffer worse as I have done little else except played Civ all night long. Scheherazade is kicking Hammurabi's ass.

Actually I have done lots of other things. I have refurbished my bike. It has new lock, new saddle bag, new bell, new saddle and a funky computerthingy which measures everything from speed to burned calories. I even managed to do all maitenance myself - well amost myself, Jukka helped with the brakes. Now I don't need to call Underlife BC to rescue...

Also, Uimastadikka is open again. It is so much nicer to swim under open sky than it is in an indoor swimming pool. It has been so chilly that there has been plenty of room so far, though I expect it will be more crowded soonish.

I have also been in liaisoning with all sorts of people about the work-place move. Our current building is going to be remodelled inside out so we are moving to the next block. It has been a pretty hectick few days and I expet it will be for days to come. The new digs are nice, tho.

Sari, I note your comments on swimming with some nostalgia for Uimastadikka. Our son Johannes has recently started taking swimming lessons. The water at the public swimming pool here is freezing cold. After his first swimming lesson his lips were blue for like two hours afterwards, but then, on the other hand, that used to be the norm after having swam at Lake Rautavesi when I was a child. The swimming instructor here recommends that one should wear a T-shit and a swimming cap in order to keep warm in water. Wonder how the T-shirt would go down in Uimastadikka...

T-Shirts while swimming? Very weird not to mention unhygienic, there must be oodles of chloride in the water... The only pool I ever used in States - a private suburban "club" - was quite warm enough.

The only good thing about abysmally cold summer has been the fact that there has been plenty of room to swim at stadikka.
