Hello from northern Finland and this bullshit of a ”spring”. While I mostly don’t have a problem with winter, this prolonged cold, dreary and ugly period is pissing me off. We have had a few sunny days and temps up to 10 Celsius degrees here and there, most nights are still sub zero and days not much warmer.
Yesterday was the first day I turned the heating off…
Yesterday was Vappu (Labour Day), or like I call it; the Official Munkki Day. I of course made munkki’s (donuts) and sima (mead) like the tradition calls for, and it was also a very nice and sunny day. Vappu is national holiday so we had the day off from work which is a nice treat in the middle of the week. I’m currently at work eating the munkki leftovers.
There is hope yet! On the south side of the house snow melted first and at least the spring flowers pushed through to brighten up the otherwise brown and grey tones everywhere.
