Today [9]

He's going strong over at Vistax64, I was quite surprised when I saw him there the other day.

Quite cold back home in Finland. North, in Lapland about -30°C (about -22°F), Eastern parts of the country -40°C (about the same in Fahrenheit, -40°F).

This from the weather report tonight:



(Perjantai = Friday, aamu = morning)

It reminds me of something my father used to tell:

• +15 °C, Spanish wear caps, gloves and winter coats, Finns are sunbathing
• +10 °C, French desperately try to get their central heating on. Finns plant flowers
• +5 °C, Italian cars won't start. Finns drive with convertibles
• 0 °C, Pure water freezes. Water in rivers in Finland thickens a bit
• −5 °C, First people are found frozen in California. Finnish midsummer festival ends
• −10 °C, Scottish turn the heat on in their houses. Finns start to use long-sleeve shirts
• −20 °C, Swedes stay indoors. Finns are having last barbeque before winter
• −30 °C, Half of the Greek people have frozen to death. Finns start to dry their laundry indoors
• −50 °C, Polar bears evacuate North Pole. Finnish army starts it's winter training
• −70 °C, Siberian people are moving to Moscow. Finns are furious since the Koskenkorva vodka can't be stored outdoors anymore
• −273 °C, Absolute zero. Finns admit that it is quite cold outside
• −300 °C, Hell freezes over. Finland wins the football World Cup

Luckily summer is always nice back home in Lapland. Last year it was one Tuesday afternoon...

No that's Battle near Hastings.

Guess who quite stupidly lost the key to his locker in which he had all his books, bag and stationary. Yep, that's right, me. I had to miss half of Maths to get some bolt cutters from my Head of House and cut the lock off.
