Jussi's 10Centuries Playground

@matigo I thought the center would open early as it does every other day (at 0600 on Tuesdays and Thursdays; at 0630 on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays; at 0900 on Sundays). Wednesday appears to be a weird exception day for them. ?‍♂

It was nice to note that the swimming center opens at 10 when you are at the parking lot few minutes past 8. We will go swimming after lunch then.

@larand A co-worker posted a screenshot to the company chat of the forecast for San Francisco to where he will be going this week. According to the screenshot it will be colder in SF than here in Finland. He was pretty happy about that. ?

I’ve been listening to music a lot more lately. Great music combined with the free time I have had during my vacation (I know, ?!) has made me miss playing music myself. Maybe I need to dedicate some of rare free time to re-learn the basics again so that I can play some simple things. That would make me happy, I don’t need to learn any new complex skills for now.

@matigo Yet another weird thing in food production. Usually locally produced foods are not that expensive. Maybe they use some funky production method that is expensive.

@matigo Are watermelons import products also there? I would think there would be an area in Japan where watermelons would grow just fine, but it could be that the land is used for something else. Ours come from Spain (or at least the one we got was from there).

@matigo Tanning? Is it something you can eat? ?

I don’t tan either. When the first rays of sun hit me, any exposed skin gets burned instantly. The past 2 weeks have been a nightmare, it has been hot and the sky has been clear. No wonder we have spent a lot of time inside. It’s cooler here than outside even without an AC.

@matigo Well, being from the white North has its downsides too, doesn’t it? ?

@matigo The one we bought cost 1.39 €/kg (~181 ¥/kg). Naturally, the price varies depending on the season and the importer/producer.

@matigo I have noticed the same. I prefer dark colors¹, though. With the 3rd-party bands there is a lot more variety, one can even get a rainbow-coloured Milanese band.

1. Black. Or very dark gray. ?
