The photographs were taken at Juvanmalmi industrial area on December 30th, 2017.

I commuted by bicycle today. It was cold, -9 °C in the morning and -8 °C in the afternoon, and the hard wind made it feel colder. The new three-finger winter gloves by Craft were a good investment. Even though they are lightweight they keep the fingers warm.

This morning I walked for 2 1/4 hours, exploring the snowy fields at Petikko. There was 15-25 cm of unbroken snow on the ground. Well, unbroken except for some deer tracks.

The weather has been cold, especially because of strong south wind from the sea which makes -7 °C feel much colder. I have been commuting by bicycle through the central park in Helsinki. Later this week we may get 10 cm of snow, and that may cause some difficulties for the commute.

I got this week 14 hours of exercise, all of it walking. The average about of exercise is about 11 hours per week, of which almost 2/3 riding the bicycle. Getting 570 hours of exercise in a year is not bad. Tomorrow I believe there will be snow shoveling in the program, at least the weather forecast promises a couple of cm of snow.

I commuted by bicycle on four days this week, and got eight hours of exercise. The weather has been dry. I have been riding the bicycle through the central park in Helsinki, as the paths are no longer so muddy. I met a horse this morning, which was a nice start for the day.

The photographs were taken at Tampere on September 10th.

Today was once again a rainy day, but I didn't get wet while commuting by bicycle. There are a lot of wet fallen leaves on the road, making it slippery when braking. The commute takes now 50 minutes, but in the summer it took only 40 minutes when the conditions were optimal.

In six days I have got 11 hours of exercise, half riding the bicycle and half walking. Spring is coming. This morning I listened to a lark singing while I was walking across fields.
