Scene of the car accident in Tampere

On our way to the airport in Tampere we had a small accident with another car and the police came to check. Fortunally it was nothing important. And my parents managed to get late but in time on their trip to London.

Everynow and then you come across a melody that you cant take away from your head. Well these days Matti contaminated my mind with this great tune

De vez en cuando te cruzas con una melodia que durante dias no te puedes quitar de la cabeza. Bueno pues estos dias Matti me ha metido esta en la cabeza.

Ground evaluation at Sipoo


Ground evaluation team
Originally uploaded by Inaki.
We sent a team some weeks ago to check the nature of the ground of our lot. The result is that there is about 2.5m of dirt before you reach the rock and a bit of humidity so we need to build on top of poles.

Mandamos a un equipo para que evaluara el terreno donde queremos construir. El resultado es que hay 2.5m de tierra hasta tocar la roca, con algo de humedad. Asi que tendremos que construir encima de pilares

Fue realmente una revelacion de curso. Unno de los mejores del MBA que me descubrio la verdad detras del emprendedor, despues de muchos anos sonando con montar mi propia empresa.

Haikon Kartano on our fifth anniversary

We got a suite in the Spa. The decoration of the suite and overall the spa was a bit decadent, but the old mansion and gardens are beautifull and the best was the food.

Tanje and Inaki five years and going strong

Long time no posts. After returning from the summer, we got back to the daily routine in full speed, no leaving much time to blog. But now finally I found a bit of time to catch up on what happened over the last two months.

In August we celebrated our fifth anniversary. These last five years, have been amazing. We went through lots of moments of joy and also some difficult times. But Noel summarizes the love that hapiness within our family.

Tras volver de las vacaciones, la vuelta a la rutina no nos ha dejado mucho tiempo para el blog. Pero ahora por fin con un poco de tiempo para contar los ultimos dos meses.

But when my parents came over we did go out a bit. I even went sailing with Jordi, like in old days, and we had some good time with Jordi, Marta, Gabi, Maite, Joan and Lara.

Despues del aboda y todavia con un poco de resaca nos fuimos a Salou. No pudimos disfrutar mucho de la playa hasta que no vinieron mis padres ya que Noel estodavia muy pequeño para bajar.
