Lake walk attempt 1

Finally feeling more or less recovered after two whole weeks of coughing, sniffing, snorting, having sore throat, itchy throat, dry throat (when i can't breath through my nose), running nose, stuffy nose, headaches... and of course mostly cooped up either at home or at work, I decided I needed some fresh air and spent the afternoon out with a couple of friends.

First up was a movie. (Well, so much for the fresh air, but we'll get more of that later.) "Megamind" in 3D. Very enjoyable, lots of good laughs and nice visuals, even if a tad predictable. Roxanne Ritchie is so cute, I like her sassy hairstyle, but don't know if I dare cut it so short for myself. Maybe come summer I'll try... maybe.

After that we planned to take a walk on Näsijärvi, to the cafe in the middle of the lake. We did end up doing quite a bit of walking, but not on the lake. We were trying to find a good point to enter the lake :P There's almost too much accumulated snow, and the well-trodden path seems to be a bit more East than we anticipated. The last time I went, 2 years ago, was with some other friends and they drove and knew where to go. By the time we had a better idea of where to get on the lake, it was already getting dark (around 3:30pm). Oh well, we'll try again next weekend with a friend who has a car. In the meantime here are some pics from the 2009 lake walk.

Since we couldn't get to the lake cafe, we went to Vohvelikahvila (Waffle cafe) instead and had some nice hot chocolate and waffles. Followed by some shopping before heading home.

Not a super action-packed day, but it was fun to get out for a while. Looking forward to our second attempt next week.
