It is a weird public holiday in Finland today for "the ascension" which is something about forty days after Easter and finally losing the additional chocolate weight. However, this year it is

All those cameras and sensors, and this person still couldn't park straight outside of the school. She hardly left any space on the footpath where kids have to walk, so I guess if one happened to scrape

I was talking with a friend the other day that I am becoming increasingly insecure, even in areas where previously I was quite confident in my skills due to experience and feedback. What I find interesting

When I was walking with the dog this evening, I took a few pictures from around the neighbourhood. Spring has just started here, with the trees still not with all of their leaves and there is a lot of

I was box jumping at the gym tonight and everything was going well, until I made a jump and the box moved and while I tried to hold on, it tilted backwards and fell, pushing me backwards to where I had

I have always found it strange when friends from the US have said it is cheaper to eat junk food than home cooked, because it just seems backwards. So I thought I would have a look at why this is the case,
