Happy independence day to Finland, established 1917

I tried to learn the Finnish language, which is really, really, really hard, and I realized that if I want to really learn it, I just need to figure out the swear words first, because those, are totally effective” Gun Roswell

Our Land (national anthem)

Oh Our Land Finland Fatherland
Echo Loudly Golden Word
No Valley No Hill
No Water Shore More Dear
Than This Northern Homeland
This Precious Land Of Our Fathers
No Valley No Hill
No Water Shore More Dear
Than This Northern Homeland
This Precious Land Of Our Fathers
One Day From Your Bud
You Will Bloom
From Our Love Shall Rise
Your Hope Glorious Joy
And Once Your Song Fatherland
Higher Still Will Ring
From Our Love Shall Rise
Your Hope Glorious Joy
And Once Your Song Fatherland
Higher Still Will Ring

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years.” Frank Lampard

Seat Sunday in Kos Island (One)

All in blue and white
As the principal
Traditional,
But of course
And definitely
Nothing by the Norse

A restaurant or bar
Always near
Never far
When in Greece
No need to sneeze
Because it’s always
Warm and bright
And you may sit
Almost, where ever
You like

Enjoy a meal
With something strong
Or even light
You’re on an island
Time for some smiling
After all
When in Greece!

“March, when days are getting long,
Let thy growing hours be strong
To set right some wintry wrong.”
~Caroline May, 1887

Blue and White

Blue skies and snowy white waters
The sun burning ever more hotter
To bring the winter to its slaughter

Manic Monday

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work
