I'm finally starting to sober up from the rough weekend, and thought I could guide you through my midsummer with some pictures and a little story of what I can remember of my weekend.
Miraculously I managed to take some decent pictures considering how much I had been drinking...
Okay so I have been spending my midsummer with my girlfriend, her parents and relatives in the middle of the forest, in the southern parts of Finland. The weather has been very unstable as it almost always is during midsummer, mostly cloudy and rainy, but Friday was okay, we even had some sun.
Friday morning begun with some preparations, me and my girlfriend were baking a cake for desert and filled up some water balloons that we left in the freezer for some fancy ice to keep the beer cans cold.
Then we sat up a badminton net(spoilers: I won the competition) and finally, we lit a fire in the sauna.
The sauna is located next to this small lake, perfect for a swim from the sauna. It's about a 100m way downhill from the main cottage. Some of us went waterskiing but I tried a few years ago and never even got up on water, so this time I didn't even try.
After everyone had been to the sauna and had just enough alcohol to socialise we went back up for more drinks and to prep the dinner.
Saturday... I woke up with a horrible hangover, took a painkiller and a beer and continued as I left it the other night.
I know this sounds like I'm a total drunk, but I usually don't spend my weekends this way, luckily it's only midsummer once a year...
Once again the day starts with sauna and a swim to freshen up yourself, the weather were even worse than the day before. But today we spent our day at my father in laws brothers cottage.
We ate and drank once again pretty much the same as the day before, ow we played some darts too.
But after we ate I took a nap on the couch, and by the time I woke up everyone had gone to the evening dance, except my girlfriend who luckily for me waited for me, I would have never found the way to the dance by my self.
There was this really old looking building with a small bar down in the basement which wasn't always manned.
So we danced and had a great night.
This is my midsummer in a nutshell, and to be honest I can't really remember all the details...
Hopefully all of you awesome steemians had a great midsummer!
