Week 11/2009: My God the Sun shined first time warmly for me in Italy: I worshipped the sun with +20 Celsius temperature a couple of hours at the yard of a restaurant in Merano. Meantime it was only about +8 C in Munich and cloudy. To reach the restaurant I had to run beside Mika and bicycle for an hour upwards a hill. My folks were very surprised that my and Ciara’s condition was better than they thought beforehand: no tiredness after 15 km run (with decent pauses, of course).

I have an unmistakable nose of wine quality, maybe that's why my nose has turned red  Because I’m the expert of wines, we had to visit wineyards of Alta Badia (South Tyrol). We had a lovely picnic by wine trees, there I and Ciara sat by the same table with my people and our friend Jyrki from Finland. I have taught Jyrki to understand my needs as well as I have done it with my family, so he remembered to pass some Parma ham and cheese to taste the flavors.
