New music.

I was asked to write a text to the Finnish Red Cross' website about my first half of the year here.
Good thing I started this blog! Gives me some help.. Otherwise I wouldn't know waht to write.


I've recently discovered the Swedish duo Far & Son. They sing the amazing song Panik, and another good song called Tjeckoslovakien. One of the guys in this band is also a member of Maskinen, who plays kinda the same music. I really like Maskinen aswell.
The first song I heard from Maskinen came out when I was in the army.

Can't describe the bands music, so I guess I'll just have to show you some videos.

OH! Speaking about Maskinen. When I first arrived in the UK, a French guy listened when i played Maskinen on my computer and said, with his perfect English with the perfect French accent
"This sounds quite like a French band!". I'll give you that aswell.

Enjoy!

Cancelled weekend plans

Two volunteers from Kent were about to come around for a night this weekend, but their car broke down, so they re not coming. Quite a shame, since I really like meeting the other volunteers. But there'll be more weekends, so no worries there.

So now I'm free for the weekend.. What to do?

BTW. I did bring my camera to London, bub didn't find that much to take pictures of, so there...

Monday tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the Humanitarian Action day for the Red Cross EVS volunteers in the southern part of England.
This HA day will focus on justice and fairness.
It's going to be really nice to see some of the other vols, whom I haven't seen since September in Guildford.

I'll bring my camera, so there will prolly be some pictures up on Monday or Tuesday evening.

The informaion letter sent out to us about the HA day had a funny sentence in it.
"Lunch will be provided, but bring your own pen"
Okay, maybe that wasnt the sentence exactly, but something like it :)

Some pictures of the snowy weather in Oxford.

Back in Oxford

Now I'm back in Oxford after spending Christmas and New Years with loved ones.
I've had such a blast, even though I only got to meet about half of the people I intended to meet.
Well, I can't blame any other than myself, since I didn't get in touch with them.

Christmas was spent with family and relatives, and New years with a wonderful girl, who is now my girlfriend! Can you believe it!? :D

I'm a bad storyteller. If you want me to tell you something specific about my holidays, just ask :)
The only stupid questions, are the ones that remain unasked.
