First snow

Last night fell the first snow of this winter here in South Finland. In the morning the roads were a bit slippery, but by noon the main roads were almost dry. However, I changed winter tires to my car, for safety.

There is only 1-2 cm of snow on the ground yet, so it is not possible to ski, but as soon as there is enough snow I shall take my skis and start cross-country skiing. Later in the winter I´ll travel to North of Finland, to Lapland, to do some down-hill skiing.

I like winter and snow, but I don´t like the darkness of the Finnish winter. That´s why I´m planning to fly to Thailand in December or January for one or two months. Some of my friends have been there many times, about 100 kms south of Bangkok, in Hua Hin or Cha Am. I have been there once for many years ago, and I liked it there. Even the King of Thailand has a summer cottage there on the beech of Hua Hin. And if I go there I´m gonna play some golf, too.

Saturday morning fever

Usually I´m sleeping at this hour, but now I´m still awake, writing this blog and listening to radio. When the radio is on, it doesn´t feel so lonely. I am too lazy to go anywhere, so I just wait for a miracle, that some beautiful woman would call or contact me. For David Ben-Gurion has said that "Anyone who doesn´t believe in miracles, is not a realist!"

Restaurant Sonnenberg, Zurich, Switzerland

I started a new blog this evening. This is my diary, where I´m going to tell you about my life.

Yesterday afternoon I came back home from a short visit to Switzerland. I stayed 3 nights in Zurich, in a romantic hotel "Sonne" by the lake Zurichsee, with a few old friends. On Wednesday we visited mount Rigi and had a pick-nick there. What a wonderful view down to the city and lake Luzern!

Then we drove to Zurich and had a lunch in FIFA´s restaurant "Sonnenberg", and had again a nice view to the lake Zurichsee. Here is a photo I took from our table.
