Sunday

the time has come for a new camera I think. Again took the camera but wouldnt work. Even took it to a couple of camera places but they couldnt help much.

Meet a couple of girlfriends in the city today for lunch. We all had trouble with the public transport system. On my line, they are taking the train under a major road to try and eliminate traffic problems and of course have to shut down the trains whilst they work on the tunnel.. Therefore have to catch a bus from one station to the next station past the tunnel. So a longer trip.

My friends live on the other side of the city and because of works on the major freeway they decided to come by train too, but there is a new station going in on their line to their service was replaced by buses too. So we were all late.

Eventually met and went to a park for lunch but the sun didnt come out, so a little chilly. Never mind good to catch up with old friends. We only meet a three or four times a year, so lots of talking.

Two Christmas's ago I gave my elder son a rally drive experience. This involved driving a rally car on a enclosed circuit. He always wanted to compete in a rally. He finally did it yesterday and said it as truly awesome and brilliant. Nice to give present someone appreciates and is a little out of the norm.


I still have a few problems positioning photos, but hope you can follow.

It seems like you had a kind of adventure with your friends then. Transports can fail you sometimes. We have a lot of troubles with our railways at winter time - rails doesn't like freezing and wet weathers. But the bus is always there, when needed. Not so comfortable way of traveling though, but efficient. Hope you'll find a good new camera for yourself soon. I use that thing so much, I would really be sad, if i could't take any photos...

I thought I wrote about the rally, too, but then I didn't I guess.

We, too, have two places here in Finland, where we can offer this kind of presents. As well as minirallying, tubeskiing (also in the summer), airballooning (that's the NEW trend), diving, benzy jumping, colour shooting (loads of fun with a bigger group) etc. Not cheap, though. But it's true, that it's really great to have the possibility to give a different, bigger present, that you absolutely know, is liked. =o)
