My home office at Tyven

It was a rainy day today. I did not get home from work - and some errands  before 7pm. No good targets for a blip today.

A was looking forward to watching on TV the Finnish football team 'Huuhkajat'  - or Northern eagle owl (Bubo bubo) meet the national team of Turkey in Istanbul. Huuhkajat does not sound like the best name for an energetic sports team, since Bubo bubo is a nocturnal animal that only stirs after sunset, but this species of owl is also known for its power and aggressiveness, so maybe it suits Finnish football players as well.

The Finnish national team got this pet name in 2007 after it beat Belgium 2-0 in Helsinki, and during the match a big huuhkaja appeared from the shadows, circled the field, and finally decided to settle on the frame of the Finnish goal. Turned out the owl nested on the stadion, too.
