Finland, the go to place for excitement. This is true... there are lots of little girls carrying these horses heads around with them. A car comes the other way and next to the driver, in the front passenger seat, is a horse. It is so Mafia-like. I bought one of these hobby horses in a charity shop in Barnoldswick 3 years ago, and it came on the plane with us back to Helsinki. Once, we carried a real leather horse saddle back with us on the plane(s) from Washington DC. My daughter was into horse riding then. And my friend in Virginia has been a horse rider/trainer.

Another trailer-load sawn up. Winter approaches! Nice work. Hope you kept a log. There are 2 piles of tree lengths I made last Saturday in the woods around the bus garage, we were thinking of collecting them this Saturday and playing around with the chain saw a bit more just for fun. I am working at Kannus next Friday 2nd (spare driver for the Himanka-Lohtaja-Kokkola fast bus) so can take the trailer with me to work to again collect anything we have left. Nice evening here with sun come out a bit, and 0 passengers!

No sniffing dog on my bus today - only 3 passengers - two obviously 'mentally handicapped' (nutters) and one Lady from the Dark Continent who moaned that she was late when we got to her stop. Well, darling, get on an earlier bus, then! I asked my boss about travelling to England... she phoned to the company owner who said 2 weeks quarantine unpaid if I go to the UK and return from there. My boss said that's fine with her, she has enough drivers to cover me. I do not need to go if the marina owner starts our engine and gives it a run of, say, 20 minutes. Why she has not done this, I cannot say. I shall remind her yet again (5th time!) this weekend. And will let my boss know by, say, Wednesday, what the score is. If engine can be run, then I have no desperate need to jet over. But then, what to do during that school holiday week? Norway is closed to tourism again, because Norwegians are obviously a filthy lot who like to cough and sneeze over each other. Finland is open everywhere, but it's such a boring country. I suppose we could always go to Santa's Grotto in Lapland and ask him some embarrassing personal questions.

More than half will have been familiar company for you then.
An engine ain't going to go wrong of its not started for a while, just turn it over by hand a few times before you fire it up.
If you do come over on a jet just for that Greta Will Know, she's only an invisible border away. She could nip over on her bike. Best put your armoured underskidders on.
Re the lady who you made late, was your bus On Schedule or running late. We need facts.

Re the lady who you made late, was your bus On Schedule or running late. We need facts. Bang on time. Our new ticket tablets connected to the Internet-Cloud-Wotsit even make a sound when it's time to stop looking at Thunderboat and fuck off to our destination. I'm afraid the lady in question could do with a cattle prodder up her arse to get her out of bed in the mornings. Fancy blaming the bus driver. Still, used to it, in one ear out the open window.

You don’t need to get on a plane to run your one lung wonder for 20 minutes My friend is the new owner of Trondra II www.nenemarine.co.uk/for-saleThe guy that runs Nene Marine (Mark) is a very good friend of mine - I’ve also known him in a professional capacity for getting on for twenty years; if he has given a big old 6.354 that has been in deep slumber for 3+ years the thumbs up your one lung wonder that has had about 50 gallon of oil through it will be just fine.

Greta agrees Just think, all they need do is send an email along the lines of:- Engine run up for 20 minutes, all A OK. See you on 2021 Mr Fox. Whether it has or hasn't is an irrelevance. I'd not loose sleep over a little porky like that. Gretta won't be getting bent out of shape at naughtyfox air miles. Foxy will sleep at night (bar for the constant worry about his gone off engine oil 😵) Job Jobbed. 🍻👍

I didn't know you could put more than one piece of music on Windows Video Editor. Now I do. Finished an hour ago - and all this took just one hour - two trailer-loads!

Here's a video that's not too bad about showing the sort of scenery where we think we are off to next week. Helsinki school holidays are at the same time so we're wondering if my daughter's two kiddywinks might be coming with us, or coming up here, or a combination of those.
This one even better? Lots of ferries!

I rather like this reader's comment from today's papers:
"This is the phase-in of the C.h.i.n.e.s.e Social Credit Score for the West. The Great Reset is here (check out the Klaus Schwab interview) and they are calling it the "New Normal." They have already said we are never going back pre-2020. We will never be able to get near each other, look at others in the face (heck, one bar/restaurant has even said "No handshaking, high fiving or extended eye contact with anyone not on your table.") We already see the G.e.s.t.a.p.o attacking citizens for not wearing a mask. Compliance is required. Everything and everyone now will be tracked and traced. The next phase-in will be the digital IDs (check ID2020), digital currencies.... and then the chip! The World Bank, WEF, UN, WHO have all said this will be finished by the end of March 2025. We're about to see some radical changes that will affect each and every one of us in every aspect of our lives."
...and these:
"This Virus is an awfully convenient way to order people indoors."
"The lambs passively waiting to be taken to the slaughterhouse!!!"
