Yesterday I went downtown after work first to go shopping ballet stuff for Tuuli then meet my friends.  We met in Bierhuis Rotterdam  in Kamppi. Four of our group of ladies could make it, Pirjo, Leena and Aila.  Seems that we are not able to see with a bigger group nowadays, people are too busy with everything or something else always comes up. Greetings from the missing ladies were passed on to everybody, Nanna who had mother and her husband visiting, Inkeri who was going to have another ladies night somewhere else, Kirsi who was also occupied in something else and Sari who has been organising move to Paris. We changed views on the recent news of our common interest, NSN.  Lots of things going on and we really live interesting times.

We dined in Creek Restaurant Minos also in Kamppi.  Excellent first course, 15-20 small plates to share tzatsiki, octobus, prawns, olives, moussaka spread, several cheese and sauces and so on.  It would have been enough without a main course but we didn't know that.  I had souvlaki which was good too but I was too full already.  Couple of bottles good red wine and girls chatting...

After Minos we went back to Rotterdam to enjoy Jägermeister shots which the waiter was marketing when we were there earlier.  Easied up the pain in my stomach...  Leena decided to go home, we continued to the hot night of Helsinki.  Well temperature outside was around -20C.  First in Gaselli, then to Michelle and downstairs to the night club.  There we had chance to dance also.  Probably not drinking enough as I wanted to get home already before 2am.  We shared taxi with Aila. 

Today has been slow and quiet.  Sun was shining so I went for a walk to get my head cleared.  Still really cold, wonderful February weather!  Tuuli had a friend staying overnight and Heini was nighting in her friends place, exchange of children though.  Now the normal family is at home and we are waiting for the normal Saturday night entertainment, Avara luonto which is a series of programmes telling about our planet (was it Blue Planet or something, can't remember...).
