Christmas in London. Reuniting with my daughter, who studies in the UK, after four months separation. And escaping from the Yule stress.
Due to longer stay and the special reunion, I wanted to have more homely lodgings and rented out a 90m2 penthouse apartment from Marlin Apartments. More space and more freedom.
A roundtrip through the lodgings (also video at the end):
The master bedroom with en suite bathroom with spaceous shower cabin.
Living room with the dining area.
Living Room with the dining area.
Our apartment is on the 15th floor (16th in a Finnish way). Scenery is spectacular.
Also on a rainy & foggy English morning.
Dining area in a living room.
Having a breakfast.
En suite bathroom. Anotherone is with a bathtub.
The second bathroom.
Kitchen with all necessary equipment, though metal & Teflon do not fit together and a frying pan is scratchy.
In Aldgate, a stone throw from Brick Lane. Nicely situated.
Observation. Wooden floors are nice but I suspect cleaners have not been taught how to wash them. Five years from now and parquet floors are wasted.
Also since here are all the kitchen stuff, it would have been nice to have basic food preparing stuff here as well. But I guess they are bonuses for the cleaners who live under the minimum wage...
Nice & cosy place and it proved to be the right choice for creating the homely athnosphere for the Christmas.
And the price for the penthouse for the seven nights? £1336.
Update (2.1.2013): Video roundtrip through the apartment.
In 2010 Finland's National Brand Committee lead by former Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila presented its paper to a former Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb. The committee stated proudly that Finland was the forerunner of democracy since Finnish women became the first in the world to have unrestricted rights both to vote and to stand for parliament. But something was left out from the report. Something which was part of the Finnish Social Policy in many decades of the 20th Century. In many countries this would be called slavery. And this is something which is quieted story of the Finnish history. A modern time slavery. Finnish historician Jouko Halmekoski writes about the modern slave market which was the fact in Finland as late as in the 1950's. He interviewed 25 persons who had been auctioned away by the local government in order to save money in sustaining the children. The lowest bidders won the custody of the child for one years period. Ironically the auction was held in the 29
Rudolf Koivu (1890 - 1946) is one of the illustrators which has affected me most. Even if Finland's most known illustrator died already in 1946 there is no one which has escaped Koivu's sensuous lines, magical creatures from childrens' stories and Christmas cards. I claim, Koivu is for Finns the same than Carl Larsson for Swedes or Mucha for Czechs. Or perhaps even more than that. Last summer I visited an exhibition full of Koivus drawings to different Childrens' stories. It blew my mind out. Pictures to the stories by Grimm, Topelius, Andersen were all presented. Thinking of the fact that the world was not full of images Koivu's characters, trolls, sceneries and mystical creatures were amazingly original ones. Unlike today's illustrator who has grown in a world full of images, Koivu had to bring these creatures from his mind. That is a thing which often has been neglegted. My first memories of Koivu, though I did not know that by then, were the sensuous cov
1970-luvun peruskoulu-uudistus unohti kasvion! Kuulun siihen peruskoulusukupolveen, jonka ei tarvinnut kerätä kesälomansa aikana herbaariota eli kasvikokoelmaa. Se oli sääli, sillä pläräsin useasti veljeni keräämää upeaa 50 kasvin kokoelmaa. Selasin usein sen sivuja ihastellen kauniisti kuivattuja ja prässättyjä kasveja. Olisin halunnut koota sellaisen itsekin. Se jäi, kunnes vihdoin tänä kesänä pääsin kannustamaan poikaani hänen kasvinkeruuretkillään. Sain seuratakin häntä ja hänen serkkujaan metsien siimekseen ja peltojen pientareille. Hienointa oli, että hänen opettajansa jopa kannusti vanhempia ja isovanhempia sekä lapsia liikkumaan yhdessä luonnosta nauttien - kunhan lapsi valitsisi poimittavat kasvit. Matka aurinkoisella soratiellä kohti luontoa ja kerättäviä kasveja. Kasvienprässääminen palasi takaisin Jossain vaiheessa kasvien kerääminen palasi peruskoulun opetussuunnitelmaan. Vapaaehtoinen, mutta numeroon positiivisesti vaikuttava, kasvikokoelma kerätään yleis
