Hmmh.. I guess I should have been honest already in
the heading and talk about a freak
instead of a fool. I don’t know what’s gotten into me this year, but at the
moment I’m really into winter sports and all outdoor activities – this has
reached a whole other level compared to the past years. I’ve always been a fan
of the cold seasons, yes, and can’t wait for the summer to be over (crazy, I
know), but this year I’ve been just as excited as this fat little fellow.

The picture above is taken at the Tali golf course (golf
course!) and I’ve been skiing the very same route many times already. Each and
every time that I pass by these views, I really feel like taking pictures, but
the sports freak in me never let me stop. Except for the last time that we were
there. And boy am I happy I did stop for a few pics :)

In addition to this everyday winter craziness, I also have some
bigger plans ahead that I’m anxiously looking forward to. Me, my sis, my mom
and er better half are heading to the skiing resort in Levi, Lapland in March,
just before my birthday. There will be a lot of cross-country skiing in our
schedule, but in addition to that a little bit of something else too ;)

Oh yes! I got new gear for downhill skiing! Can’t wait to
give them a try <3 These were actually bought from an online auction site,
and the seller described the set as ”a pretty little package for the junior in
your family” :D lol. It’s all pink and purple, but I don’t mind – they’re mine
and suitable for skiing :)
Ihana toi lumessa touhuava dogi! :) ja talvi on kyllä kivaa aikaa, kunhan on lunta - ei räntää. Hiihtoreissulta otetut kuvat on upeita.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Räntä on hirveintä ikinä!
DeleteKu saatais huudettua sullekin sukset ni päästäis rinteeseen ottaa vieläki upeempii kuvii ;) mut oli tää ihan varteenotettava suoritus, kun ottaa huomioon et kuvat on jostain Talista :))
The pictures are so beautiful! I just love them.
DeleteI love how crazy excited you are about sports and outdoors :D I am getting the same way :D :D
I cannot wait to visit you and go skiing. By that time you will of course be a professional and I will be cheering you on in "Finlandia?" :D
Lapland with your closest ones sounds like it will be an amazing trip!!
I am so excited for Finland :D :D
ps - this is unrelated but I was reading Monocole today and there were a lot of articles about Finland and Helsinki - but I wanted to share this one about Finnish design to see your thoughts : http://monocle.com/magazine/issues/59/perfect-den/
Haha, just wrote some more thoughts on winter sports ;)
DeleteAbout the article, the furniture and glassware are all very typical for a Finnish home. My mom has the trolley (6th pic from the left), my dad the little chairs (also in the same picture) and my aunt a collection of Tapio Wirkkala glassware (2nd picture) :) I absolutely love the simplistic style, but there are still too many colors there for my taste :)) I'm a hopeless case and I don't like green or yellow in decoration :D
I just have to add that I love it that the skis have pink handles :D
ReplyDeleteHahha yeah, the set is "for juniors" :)) But I don't care, they're cute!
DeleteUusia postauksia! :)
ReplyDeleteconsider it done ;)
