Ja takaisin

Back from Helsinki. Nice visit. There Sini and I met friends, saw art and dinosaurs... (Juha H.)

Takaisin Lapinlahdelta

View from Lapinlahti. Sini and I visited Bishop Arseni. Veery nice! (Juha H.)

Takaisin Tampereelta

Back from Tampere, Finland. Sini, Hanna-Maaria and I were there for one night and two days. And it was so nice to visit there again - to meet friends and see an exhibition of H.R. Giger's art. While travelling back we stayed in Jyväskylä for some hours and met our boys - some eating, some chatting and being together. And it was so nice! (Juha H.)

Fiksaamista

All evening I fixed, organized and unclutterd my little studio. Now was the time to do it and now many things are in better order, like less dirt...

Earlier today Sini and I rehearsed a bit for forthcoming performances.

And even earlier Toropainen visited. Nice meeteing.

Pietariin

Very early tomorrow morning Sini, me and our three children begin our trip to St Petersburg, Russia. Last time I was there was 1986 and then the city was called Leningrad. Now the former regime has fallen and alots has happened in Russia and around the world. During the Soviet era the center of Leningrad was beautiful - the old buildings were really remarkable... Today the city should be very much more fashinating. And Communism is gone. - We'll be back on Monday.

Alvin visited. Some nice stories from around the world he did tell.

Hanna-Maaria got herself today licence to drive a car. This is fine and good.

Toropainen visited.

Musa ja Toropainen

Joukot and Mep were here. I recorded Mep singing vocals for NINE songs. She did it within approximately four hours. This was pretty remarkable. And from tomorrow on I'll mix them songs.

Later in the evening Toropainen visited. And during his visit Alvin called a couple of times from Germany. The evening was quite nice.
