Not catching up

From St.Petersburg 2011

We went to a tuparit (house warming) yesterday (unfortunately luckily no tales or photos of people misbehaving as we left by 10pm) and saw numerous people who we haven't seen in six months.  We forgot the tradition present of bread and salt, but did manage to add to the pile of candle holders and lanterns...

When asked what we'd been up to I was surprised by how much we had been doing, like trips (and lots of photos of course) to Barcelona, St. Petersburg and Gotland.  Also with my typical uselessness in social occasions I pretty much failed to find out what anyone else had been up to (well except Bore, I figured she had obviously moved house as it was her party) - I even failed to get the name of the friendly person who gave us a lift back home...

There was meant to be a clever point to this about catching up on news, people and uploading photos or something - but due to a dose of near-fatal man-flu I can't figure out how it goes now. Whatever...

This is not a blog post

We have been exceedingly lazy on the blog front this year. If you are reading this via Facebook (as it posts as a note there automatically) you may not realise there are also so my tweets (via Twitter) on this page ... well occasionally.  Luckily Sähkötonttu doesn't have a Twitter account.

You could always read 'Jees Helsinki Jees' while you are waiting, which I only recently found (when doing a search for Jonathan Glancey's critique of the new Musiikitalo in HS - 'kone ilman sielu') ... how have I missed this cool blog until now?

And now a list of things we haven't blogged about:

• Elections
• Spring
• Metalligrafiikka courses (etching)
• Keramiikka course (wobbly pots and other lumpy objects)
• Finnish indie-pop music (Rubik, Regina, LCDMF)
• Spotify
• Radio Helsinki (finally a radio station I can live with)
• Musiikitalo
• Työ

Still here...

Yes we are still here.

A combination of moving flat, being busy at work/starting a company, laziness, and a lack of ideas has meant a hiatus in blog posts. Neither of us want to blog about work stuff so not much to talk about and less 'spare' time (as I can use my Xbox360 now when I'm bored...............). At least we're getting a white christmas.

Maybe the new year will bring some inspiration?

Pure Laziness

Can't be bothered to post really, but I will update the header with this months image... these things are everywhere this time of year.

The competition is in by the way... so Jonna gets some now (competition on the blog that is)

Oh and I got a 5- on my level 7 Suomen Kieli the other week, despite getting everything wrong.
And level 8 is buggeringly hard.

If you know what I mean.

Partisiipit, ihana...

I'm really going now, move along, nothing to see here...
