I did a Seiko mug design with the help of a professional freelance designer on Fiverr. It is really easy, find the freelancer specializing in the task you have at hand, then you upload the material you have, explain what you are after and also include a rough sketch if needed. Then wait for the result and correct as needed, the better you explain in the beginning the less there is to fix in the end.
Having been bitten by the Seiko fly some years ago I have come across several different meme's, some of them funny some of them not but some I thought worth saving so I have posted below the perhaps funniest ones that tickled my funny bone. Hope you enjoy and get a chuckle of the day đ
Below are translated articles of Anny in Finnish media that build some sort of a political narrative of how things move along in the corridors of power, click the links for related pictures and original text in Swedish.
The local newspaper in city of BorgÄ published an article about Anny von Hamburg after a cruise to her old trading waters when she was named Ringö, pictures by Kristoffer à berg and text in Swedish by Jannika Lindén.
Having gone on vacation it was scorching in Mediterranean and so I booked flights to Finland to go visit my family and various places as seen from the pictures below:
In 2023 my friends and colleagues, Captains Jan Rautawaara & Juha Pokka managed to procure another old lady as a project for the future. It was s/y "Anny von Hamburg", a 29m historic three-masted schooner built in Germany.
Anny von Hamburg is a historic three-masted schooner, originally built in 1914 by Conrad LĂŒhring at Hammelwarden yard in Germany. Initially named "Anny," the vessel was designed as a cargo ship. Throughout her extensive history, she has undergone several name changes and transformations, reflecting her diverse roles from cargo schooner to cadet training ship to passenger sailing vessel.
I was doing a post of my experience on Kalizma and included a history section in it but discovered that there is quite a bit of it on the net so I separated it here and added to it, enjoy:
Had the chance to walk around in another quaint small village pretty high up in the Ligurian mountains. The village was pretty well maintained albeit the restaurant was closed for the day. Water was running everywhere and the way of old was still left to be seen with a rubbish chute down the mountain where it ended maybe 50m or more down below on the slope. Only met 2 residents and I assume another 2 tourists so it was very quiet. The two residents were avid mountain bikers and said the worldchampion had been about recently.
Whilst venturing up the valley we stopped in the witch museum. The village rides hard on the witch heritage (that apparently is based on 3 girls from neigbouring Glori), and they celebrate all the pagan highlights like samhain etc. The shops sport all kind of sorcery trinkets and would well fit into a Harry Potter backdrop.
This day I went for a Sunday outing to Pieve di Teco in the hopes of seeing the antique market. We drove there at first via the coast through Imperia and up the valley.
Went for a walk in the village of Glori, this time the weather was a bit uncertain so didn't walk over the mountain.
As we had returned from Malaysia the traffic and people got really heave so were kind of confined to Calatagan and only scootered around to beaches etc.
