I just came back from a nice visit to Prague. One of the most interesting places in Europe.
At the same time in Finland there was
– EU summit in Helsinki, which was
– visited by Putin; and
– there was a demonstration reminding him of Anna Politkovskaya's brutal murder and demands to solve the crime and start respecting human rights‚ and
–Juice Leskinen, one of the most favoured, loved and cited poets & songwriters in Finland, died.
And in London, Aleksandr Litvinenko, the ex-FSB agent died of radioactive Polonium poisoning.

Mr HP and I managed to visit one of the scariest places on earth, Museum of the Theresienstadt Ghetto. It is not just a museum, it is a big ghost town. Either there are new(er) inhabitants, or they are ghosts.
"This couldn't be happening any more, could it?", was what I was thinking when looking at children's drawings describing every day life at the concentration camp. (Only few of them survived. They were sent to Auschwitz.)
The world has become crazy, near us, too. Very, very strange things have happened this autumn: A friend murdered. A person gone missing, longed for and seached by a friend.
But happy things, too: new babies born, and there are some happy newlyweds around. And some, like SP, on the verge of final countdown. Sonja, this is for you! (And it's not "Final Countdown", I can assure you. It is the music we loved. Hahaa I still do...)
Glad to be back home. With miss Funnybunny.
Ei elämästä selviä hengissä.
