The thunder in my heart. Or Kylie

Kylie Tension Tour 25 billboard
Espoo Metro Arena, Finland June 23, 2025

The thunder in my heart. Or Kylie. Minogue Fun fact: When I was younger, I wished she were my sister. My sister died when I was 6, so perhaps that’s why. Then again, I also wished I had a brother who would protect me and be popular among girls. That has nothing to do with this, though.

I attended Kylie Minogue’s live concert on Monday, June 23. I have never been to her concert before, so I wanted to take the chance. She has been to Finland in concert three times before. It was held at the Espoo Metro Arena (where ice hockey is played), and it was extremely hot inside. I could have enjoyed the concert even more if it wasn’t for that (and the feeling in my left foot that I was getting a cramp), I had to buy water to survive. It was good, it was inside because it rained outside, so at least you stayed dry.

When the concert started, it was loud, and I didn’t know what song was on. Perhaps it was the seat I had. But you don’t care because it’s a concert where you see one of your favourite artists. I wanted to see Kylie in concert for a long time, and my dream came true. It was great to see such a diverse audience. It didn’t matter if you were straight or not; we were there to enjoy the show. And it was great. She’s such a nice person and took the audience in with open arms. When she sang the encore songs, many people stood up and danced even in the higher stands. All in all, it was a nice way to spend the day.

I have now attended three concerts: Toto, Duran Duran, and Kylie Minogue. Two more to go, Bryan Adams and The Rasmus (Finnish band), I hope I won’t have any problems with those. At the Duran Duran concert, I had an accident and I didn’t see the concert from the beginning, and in the Kylie one, I had a cramp fright.

I’ve had enough of thunder in my heart, and I don’t need more.

Day 22

Some trash talk about the snow disappearing. Yesterday, there was snow, but now it’s gone. Sometimes, the weather forecast is correct, but sometimes it’s not. In Finland, the weather is unpredictable, regardless of season. There would have been at least some snow, so it would have been white. If you want to see snow, you must go up north. But that’s not a reason to spend money on travelling. It’s dull when there is no snow, especially at Christmas. I won’t be home at Christmas but there is no snow in Tallinn either.

You don’t know what shoes to wear when the weather changes. If you wear winter boots and it rains, you ruin them. You can slip and hurt yourself if you wear sneakers and it snows. If the snow would stay, it would be easier to choose footwear. No one knows when there will be snow here again. The forecast says it’s going to be plus Celsius in some days. You would think it’s Autumn and not Winter. It does dampen the Christmas cheer a little bit when there is no snow, but you live with it.

Is this Christmas or an ordinary day? You tell me. It was taken today, and that’s no trash talk.
