Finnish Flash Teemu Selänne, 43, NHL Star Is Back!

He is back!


If you wonder what's so special about it, in addition to being 43 years old and the oldest player in NHL - still one of the best in the world, check this out...

...already earned his entry to the NHL Hall of Fame!

RESPECT!!!

Cyclomaniac?

I wouldn't say I am maniac for cycling, particularly when some lunatics make 100km trips per day. For me 10 km has been ok, 20 km quite a lot since when I'm on the bike, I work hard and go more or less at maximum speed. With 10-20km trips I've still been able to collect 550km for this season that started in May and ends somewhat in September.

One limiter has been my capacity to bear the saddle. It is nasty, up until now the 20km has felt a lot, even if I'd have energy and stamina to continue, legs saying "let's continue" while the pants say "I wanna go home". Up until now, since I bought cycling pants with the soft part enabling me to extend the trips. Yesterday I did 28km and was ok to continue...

So if your ass limits you from making longer cycling trips, go to the shop!

The summer is still here - at some level

Most of us were sure the summer was over already 2 weeks ago. No way, we've had fairly good days in Finland scale - like today with mainly sun in south with ~19C. That's good for this time of the year.

Yep, I know you guys in Brussels or even further down low will enjoy the summer for months... In today's agenda golf tasters, indoor bandy a.k.a. sähly, kayaking, warm up in sauna and few glasses of wine on top.

Have a fabulastic weekend you all!!!

Hungry in España

Food, food, food - I love it!

Local supermarket with loads of pescados y mariscos!

Feo pulpo...

Kampai!

I am no longer a Taco Bell virgin.

For looong trip it is acceptable to visit junk food place twice, but only the ones you don't have at home.

 C'mon, glass of beer in a restaurant 0,70 Euros...

This 30cm Piña Colada was though more than 0,70 €. Still it was nothing compared to what it would cost in Finland - unfortunately.

Salute - Kippis - Hölökynkölökyn!!!

Hothot Summer - Almost over!

Last night we had a fantastic thunder storm and another is expected for tonight. Temperature is expected to stay above +20C and I can tell you it is a lot for Helsinki area this time of the year. Today was also otherwise exceptional temperature, climbing even above +30C here and there.

Soon days like this are long gone - and it's not far. Most likely this weekend will be the last ones, let's hope we will still have one or two warm ones to go before the fall. Unlike Belgium, the fall begins in September with temperatures max +15C at day time. 

I will miss the warm BBQ moments like this.

If you think cold weather will keep me from repeating that, think again. Also bicycle trips continue, here is one of the pit stop places nearby.


And these fellows were in the hoods.


In the hoods they are also fixing the pool for a brand new winter usage, this was a month ago - I should go and check out the status of the moment. 


Good night fellows, let's see how the night will be...!

Shoes Against the Laws of Physics

I thought we had seen them all - or at least the most - but what did I know. Nada...

It seems playmates do what ever it takes to get attention - as well as they seem to have forgotten the style rules.
