Winter time

Yesterday there was yet again a new record for this winter, the temperature outside was as low as 40 degrees Celsius. Luckily not in Helsinki, here it was only - 23... For us Finns normal life goes on no matter what the temperature is, we put on one more pair of long johns and an extra sweater and we are off to work. I am not saying I enjoy this coldness but there really isn´t anything I can do about it, except move somewhere else of course.

This is not Siberia, this is Helsinki.

And about moving somewhere else, we just elected a new president for Finland (congratulation Mr. Niinistö, hope to see you in the audience soon again) which always is a bit exciting at least in the beginning. And then of course Helsinki is the World Capital of Design 2012 so no way am I leaving this hip and in city at least not this year.

Today and tomorrow we are doing corporate gigs, we still can´t do our new material for the audience, it  needs more rehearsals. Last Friday at the rehearsal studio we experienced a moment of total emptiness, we sat for six hours and nothing happened, not a single good idea or inspiring thought. Luckily Linda came to see us, all tan and relaxed after two weeks in Mexico, and brought some chocolate and sparkling wine with her!
