Hienosti on kyllä onnistunut suurin oppositiopuolue tällä kaudella tukemaan hallitusta sen kaikkein epäsuosituimmissa ja arveluttavimmissa toimissa. Siunattu on käännytyslait ja velkajarrut.

We finished Cleveland Way yesterday! 110 miles of beautiful landscapes and friendly people - despite everything, there's a lot to love about the UK.
@emilialounela.bsky.social was the perfect walking (and life) companion, as always.

Essential preparation for our final day of the Cleveland Way. It's been a lovely walk, there's always a mixture of sadness and accomplishment and relief on these last days. #clevelandway

Enjoying a Cleveland Way rest day in lovely Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Literally a nice change of pace after five days of walking.

Lately I've mostly been painting rage zombies by Lost Heresy Miniatures. Some headswaps in there as well, using Knight Soul Studio heads.

Tää otsikko Ylen (Palestiinan valtion tunnustamista käsittelevästä) jutusta kertoo kyllä osuvasti Suomen roolista tämän päivän maailmanpolitiikassa: "Toivottavasti kukaan ei tee mitään, niin meidän ei tarvitse sitten hävetä, että mekään ei tehdä."

Hyvä, että tutkinta vältettiin. Silti tuntuu jotenkin vähän asiattomalta viitata ihan tavallisiin regattakävijöihin näin.

Currently on the road with a very limited painting kit. It has been really fun tackling these Heresy Miniatures (@heresyminis.bsky.social) classics that I've had for ages. With no Contrast or Speed paints, it's been very much back to basics.

Haven't had hair this short in over ten years! Heading off to warmer climes in early January, and this will be wonderfully cool (literally, possibly also figuratively) and super low maintenance.
