No more holidays - Lomat lopussa


B&R_at_helsinki-46, originally uploaded by shuopio.

Holidays are now totally used for this summer. Of course Piritta has still some left, depending how much temp work she gets before the maternity leave.

Finnish summer has been very hot and nice this time, so back-to-work is not that depressing as
it could be.. ;)

(Testing a larger photo post size from flickr.. is this too big?)

--

Lomat ovat ohi tältä kesältä. Piritalla on toki vielä hieman vapaata jälkellä, riippuen siitä miten paljon sijaisuuksia hän saa/ottaa ennen äitiysloman alkua.

Suomen kesä on ollut kuuma mutta miellyttävä. Siksipä töihinpaluu ei ahdista niin paljoa kuin se voisi.. ;)

(Testaan samalla suurempaa kuvankokoa flickr-palvelusta postattaessa, onkohan tämä jo liian iso?)

Simo: I was lucky to catch Stuart on his busy week for a beer. He's getting married this Saturday here at Helsinki - therefore the preceding week is veeeryy busy. Stuarts old friend Tapio Selby joined for pre-marriage drink. ;-)

On a sunny day my camera fills easily with doorway/window silhouette pics. Here's one example from Turku castle.

On our way back to Helsinki, we visited places on the west coast where we haven't been before. One of them was Yyteri beach near Pori.
