You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

Thanks.
One of my very good friends sent it to me, she lives in a town near Turku.

Hahaha, this is what my world looks like today...
WHEEEEEEEE! It happened sometime in the early night I think. Yesterday it rained tons, then the temperature suddenly fell and then things changed. WOW!
Take care!

It's been a fantastic winter day today. I was out walking for several hours just to enjoy it. I went in part through areas I've already visited, and in part along a new route. I saw lots, and took a bunch of pics with my phone camera too.
Right now, the phone is in my jacket, which hangs on a hook across the room. Downloading the pics...Now. (Mmm. Bluetooth is so convenient, hehe!)
I saw many things that I wanted to take pictures and movies of, mostly pretty snow-covered trees, but unless I can get rather close to the object it loses all detail (due to the low-low res of the camera), so some things weren't worth snapping a pic of, and if it gets too dark the picture gets really grainy, so that also eliminates many potential great pictures. Also, I can't make movies with it of course... Meh! 
Was a really nice walk though, sometimes when I walk, I can pretend I actually have a life and belong in this society...  When it was time to go home (after it was completely dark, I might add), I took a tram back to the city center, then was about to hop on a bus that takes me straight home. As I waited for the bus, I noticed all lights going out in the tram that had just stopped at the combined bus/tram stop. All power had gone out in the overhead powerlines! Of course, that meant the tram blocked the entire bus stop, and there was this huge queue of buses forming on the other side of the intersection just beyond the stop... Great. Just great!
Well, actually... I wasn't that annoyed, I didn't have anything important to do anyway that I needed to get home in time to, instead I walked to the next bus stop, hoping that my bus would be able to extract itself from the line that was forming. On the way there, it struck me I could take either tram line #1 or #3 from the Queen's Square right nearby, and then walk another 15 minutes or so and probably be home quicker if one of those trams were on their way in. However, those hopes were quickly smashed by seeing all trams lined up there also powerless. Apparantly, the feed to the entire city center had been knocked out...
A man spoke briefly on the PA system at the bus stop, confirming that. An overhead power cable had been knocked out, so all trams in the city center were shut down.
I went ahead to the bus stop instead like originally planned, and after not THAT much waiting, my bus arrived, but not before a fire engine roared past with sirens blaring. Maybe there was a connection with the powerloss, maybe not...
Now I'm home again. Safe and sound.
