Tuesday night was quite stormy with quite a few trees around Oulu having been toppled. Some parts of Oulu lost their power supply. We were unaffected in our locality.
Day-before-yesterday was a beautiful day, sunny and windy. Annikki wanted to get to the seaside to collect some more stones for the pond.
On the way she wanted to have a look at a dilapitated house which is up for bids. The condition of the house is pathetic. The condition for bidders is that they will renovate it.
So we took a detour. Annikki was thrilled with the house and the potential it holds. If we can put together a group we will bid for it to see whether we can turn it into some form of museum cum meeting place for foreigners. It used to be the Dutch Consulte in Oulu. Here are some photographs of the place.
After viewing the house, we went to Nallikari beach. It was a very windy day, but the sun was shining and it was really a great day to be at the beach if you were properly clad. Lots of people were wind surfing. Annikki spent her time collecting stones. I spent my time in the car listening to music, but I did step out and take a couple of shots. Here is one:
It would have been great to have our grandchildren with us!
