today I had my first walk on the sea. it was kinda scary, the ice had huge cracks in it coming away from the shore, but that didn't seem to bother anyone else.
then again, a few people have had to be rescued this year already...

also tried my first chocolate on toast - a very fine Danish culinary tradition, courtesy of the lovely Andrew. wafer thin dark chocolate letters - so you can write on your toast and then it melts. mmmm

we had another note from the neighbours - it says:
Jos, yöhäirintäsi jatkuu vielä, viime yönäkin klo 03.00 asti, isännöitsijään otetaan yhteyttä.
Vaunta (or valinta) on sinun!

which is completely outrageous, because when Juha and Kate did come in at 1.30am they tiptoed up the stairs and talked in whispers - even I could hardly hear them.
strange finnish 9 to 5 people with oversensitive ears...
they just don't like us cause we sound lively and fun - literally we tiptoe around the house, and get these complaints.

had dinner at the seahorse, fabulous as always.... although one day I will make it to dessert and try the Finnish pancakes with strawberry jam and cream. not sure how they're different to other pancakes, but it's research I look forward to
