You've recovered from jet lag when you're here, I hope :D
Welcome to Finland guys!
Let the sun shine upon you and all the pretty finnish girls smile at you during your visit! 8)
Kari will make sure you get to experience at least the real finnish Sauna (the best songs are written in Sauna btw.. ;))
I might also be present. So see you later!
So awesome when I see songcrafters connecting the continents with sweet music. I'm sure there will be some video's??? This will be a blast I'm sure... Cheers Hookster
flights booked for Finland, i think i might pee myself i am so excited.
Awesome!!!!
It is wonderful to see you guys! I will take you from the airport James. Hope you don´t piss to my car. ;D It takes about two hours from Tampere to Harjavalta. So we are there very early in the morning. :)
I'll try my best lol.
That's so awesome. I'm looking forward to some great tunes.

12 feckin days, I so damn excited...and a little freaked out.
Rock on!
Me too!!
And me too! Don´t be afraid. we will take care of you. :D We could take you with Siru from the airport to see Tampere nightlife before James arrive to Finland. :D
If your flight path takes you over South Wales, don't forget to wave just before you get to the English border.
Have a great time everyone. I'm looking forward to living the dream by proxy.
Rock on brother - hope you have a fantastic time!

That´s pity you can´t come with us Mark. Tampere is fine city, but Pori is too far. But we will see in the morning! It´s great to meet you! :)
Sounds fantastic, I have unfortunately no time off left from my workplace, maybe one day 😎

It's all good - Look forward to meeting you too!
Holy shite, less than a week and I'll be in Norway. Plans are taking shape, I've booked an amazing looking apartment with a view if the sea in Porsgrunn. I'll be setting up a studio and it's looking good on meeting up with Geir, not sure about Jarle but I'm hoping. The 17th is Constitution day, so sounds like fun! Then to Finland...friends , music, travel...Rock on!
I can't wait!!!
yeah baby. say hi to Geir for me.
Porsgrunn is beautiful Hook. The sun is shining in Scotland right now, hopefully same in Norway when you get there.
can't wait to see the pictures :-)

You'll have a great time ,can't wait to see and hear what comes out of the trip Fin on!!!
Weather forecast for Finland :D
Finland has been under very cold weather for a weeks and it has snowed today, yesterday etc... I even skied on the 30th April. But now forecast says it gets warmer in the next week...over 15 centigrades ::)
Must share the next video. On it the meteorologist can't be serious when reading the forecast. Here's in the nutshell what he's saying: " little by little the day temp goes over 5 centigrades (laugh) and on Friday really over 10 centigrades, "these temps are really amusing.... really over 10 centigrades!". In the weekend, a little low pressure comes...and it can be snowy weather (laugh), but after that...after that it gets warmer...can't do anything...just laugh...But, the next week is warmer even 15 centigrades (laugh).
15 centigrade in May is pretty good temp here :)
See the vid beneath the pic.

we have had the sun for the last week in scotland, hopefully i will bring it with me, last year in Norway when i was there the sun shone, but before and after i was there they had heavy snow. so my MET forecast is sun and smiles.
Quote from: Oldrottenhead on May 10, 2017, 09:13:25 AMso my MET forecast is sun and smiles.
I believe in that :)
It's the last moment to learn Finnish before the MET. By using " No niin"- saying (with varying accent) you'll be fine with us :) Look at the vid with English subtitles:

I will meet up with you and Geir on the 16th after I have finished rehearsals with my band. Really looking forward to see you. We will spend the Constitution day together and I will show you some of Norway if you are interested.
That sounds excellent Jarle, can't wait to meet you!
Really pleased you guys are getting to meet.
No niin!
Nice gear, Hook!

This is the best thing: the warmer weather is creeping in on Friday and Saturday (around 20 centigrade). Here's the forecast: http://ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/saa/Harjavalta?forecast=long
