Ice hockey surprise cooking in Stockholm!

If you are at all interested in ice hockey, check out what team Switzerland is doing in the world championships that are played in Helsinki and Stockholm at the moment. I can tell you Switzerland is expected to win the title as much as we expect their navy to attack Las Vegas. They have one NHL player, just like the Finnish team...

For some reason the Swiss team leads the Stockholm group and won Canada!!!

Red Face Day - Vappu, May 1st

There will be maaaany red faces in Finland after today. The sun is up with a clear sky, it is the very first summer-like day in Finland after the looong winter. Temp in the sun already at 09:30 am was +18C.. When you combine that with the carneval style alcohol consumption we had yesterday all over and tend to have on May 1st, the red face coctail is ready!

What surprised me a bit this morning, was the B-section's front page of Helsingin Sanomat, that had the King with his orage people all over. Still, the Queen's Day will not be the King's Day...

Have a great Vappu - Wappu - Walborg day - where ever you are!
