And as of now I have completed the cycle once again...
and I am now, in terms of the tools that I am using to organize my life at the least, exactly where I have been a year ago. Sure, I could now pretend that I have done a thorough yearly-reflection, got...
Just a traditional Christmas tune
The other week we performed with the Tapio Maunuvaara Quintet featuring Inga Söder, at the town hall, here in Oulu, our "traditional" Christmas concert (if the second time in two years and be called "...
This looks about right
All the privacy implications aside, I do at times enjoy a yearly summary of things that I listened to. Here are my "results/stats/whatever" from Pocket Casts: I don't have time to listen to podcasts a...
Tollo
Sadly, a week ago, last Saturday, our friend and companion for more than 13 years, Tolstoi, has passed away. You will be missed ❤️ 100 Days to Offload 24/100
Greetings from the Pit
Last Saturday we were supposed to have had the final Kinky Boots show at the Oulun Teatteri, and as always we had a fun time performing the music down here in the Pit! Supposed to? Two more shows had...

And yet another Anniversary

The Thing with the Theme
tl;dr: can't decide on a theme and thus simply changed my color theme with some AI-help of all things. This is another typical-me. Now that Magic-Pages allows for installing themes I am unable to deci...
My new favourite pen: The Uni Kuru Toga 0.5
tl;dr: After years of tinkering with fountain pens, inks, nibs and gel-pens I found the possible solution to my "pen-issue" in the complete opposite: in a mechanical pencil. I can with absolute confid...
Weeknote for Week 25 in 2025
While importing posts into this blog I learned that this blog is but one big Groundhog Day and try to figure out how to get out of the loop. I could mention when I posted the previous , but to spoil t...
Until the Coffee gets Cold
My "new" journal-routine is turning out quite nicely. I have been journaling for quite some time, but consistently daily in one form or the other for a couple of years, since 2019 I guess. Since I am,...
My "Summer-Reading" for 2025
Having a plan might help me to stay on track with my reading in one way or the other. The other day I finished reading Ernest Hemingway's classic "The Old Man and the Sea" and enjoyed it a lot and sin...
