Dripping

The snow is going little by little and these guys below don't stop dripping

Cosiquines

Walking around our present block one find such things. In this case I cannot make sense of it. It reads (literally) "it comes the train that will fix the hump" but I don't get it. Also I don't recognize the guy in the photo, it looks like Gorbachev with the eyebrows of Breznev. Any ideas?
Caminando cerca la casa na que tamos agora encuéntreste con estes cosines. El casu ye que ésta pegatina nun la acabo de pillar. Lliteralmente trae "vien el tren qu'arregla la xepa", amás nun sé quién ye'l paisanu. Dáseme un aire a Gorbachov coles ceyes de Breznev. Idees?

Nun mos falta de nada

In Alppiharju, the area of Kallio where we're in, we are very close to all the basic services one can think of. As an example the photo above: "paints at 2,2 euros all day". More photos of a walk around the block below

Sarjakuvakeskus

The Sarjakuvakeskus is a space in Helsinki dedicated to comics with gallery for exhibitions, shop, workshops, parties... On the photo above you have the programme for this autumn and it's located in the best spot in Helsinki: Kallio. One of the partners in the Sarjakuvakesus is the association Kutikuti (with a nice site in English) which also publishes good stuff

Loved/Rakas Kallio

Kallio, Helsinki by blafond
We lived a couple of years in Kallio, one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Helsinki. See photos to understand why

A sunny day

Today there is a wonderful morning in my neighbourhood, Kallio, one of the most lively areas in Helsinki.
I went for a walk to enjoy this beautiful day, lots of people walking on the frozen sea and sitting on the benches to enjoy the warmth of the sun.

Even if the thermometer reads -4 celsius it feels quite warm today.
It takes long for the spring to get here and days like this makes you feel that it will arrive after all.

As you see I´m not the only one waiting for the spring

the trees are looking forward too...
