Helena's peagle, Minttu got puppies on 9th, 2 boys and 4 girls.  This is the first time but Minttu has been really a good mother, carefully taking care of the babies, not leaving them for a seocnd more than is necessary (need to get out couple of times in a day).

I got home from Munich, Germany late last night.  Interesting trip, I learnt a lot and we also had time to have some fun and freetime.  On Monday we had a meeting on the airport (convenient as our collague was leaving couple of hours after we arrived).  Drive to the hotel took almost an hour. The hotel, Arabella Sheraton Westpark, was nice, almost luxury :-)  In the evening we had time to go shopping, got two shoes.  Then dinner in Hackerhaus, very German, good beer and sausages etc. And later drinks in Ratskeller. 

On Tuesday morning we had a super breakfast, fresh fruit and pukka, excellent warm dishes, good service. Just what we needed for a full working day.  Good decision to go and visit the place, we would never had got the information as easily as this way.  Our new organisation is difficult to understand and we found out that understanding of the roles and responsibilities were different here and there, challenging!  But discussion can now continue easier over the phone also and maybe we find a way to sort things out.  We got to the airport early as there was no traffic even it was rushhour.  So some more shopping and last beer before leaving.  I bough a More&More bag for Tuuli (actually two bags during the trip as I got the first one (Pera) for myself already in Helsinki-Vantaa ;-) and Nina Ricci for Heini and chocolate for Jouni.
