After couple of chilly windy days the sun came around.. It was California after all!

Muutaman viileän tuulisen päivän jälkeen aurinko tuli lämmittämään. Olihan paikka sentään Kaliforniassa!

At least when visiting the Bay area in the United States, the Fry's

electronics is a place worth visit. There might be better shopping for

electronics somewhere but this is the original thing in the area.

Etenkin piilaakson alueella Fry's electronics on nörtille hyvin

houkutteleva kauppa. Vaikka elektroniikkaostoksia voisi tehdä

paremminkin, tämä on "se" originaali tuolla alueella ;)

On a bright wintry Sunday one fun thing to do is to go skating. Iiris, Piritta and Silja (my goddaughter) in picture.

Aurinkoisena sunnuntaipäivänä yksi mukava ajanviete on mennä luistelemaan. Kuvassa Iiris, Piritta ja (kummityttö)Silja.

Sun, a messenger of spring - Aurinko, kevään sanansaattaja

The sun has been shining quite nicely last couple of days. Despite the nights have been cold the weather has been very good and full of promise of spring.

Aurinko on paistanut päivisin aika kivasti viimepäivinä. Vaikka yöt ovat olleet kylmiä on ilmassa selvästi kevään tuntua.

Eläkeläiset

Eläkeläiset

Last weekend we were watching a band called "Eläkeläiset" ("The Retired"). They really did give quite a show with their tongue-in-cheek -cover versions of popular rock songs. To really enjoy the music you have to be at least equally wasted than the band members themselves.



Viime viikonloppuna kävimme katsomassa Eläkeläiset -bändin keikan Tavastialla. Esitys oli railakas, ja siitä täysin nauttiakseen olisi pitänyt varmaan juoda samaan tahtiin kuin bändi itse.. Ja itse musiikkihan oli tuttuja hittibiisejä sovitettuna humpaksi! 8)
