Back in the game - almost at 100%

Sunshine! Sunshine is here! At least till the end of the week. And alas a stomach bug is also here so I've been out of it for a couple of days... fun times of trying to hold things down and generally waking up feeling absolutely dehydrated even though my fluid intake has been phenomenal. The good thing is that it's almost over, hopefully, I mean at least now I'm hungry even though most stuff still looks unappealing and even rice isn't an effective way of settling down things. Amazingly enough it seems that prunes and figs are ok, logic would dictate that they shouldn't be because of the high fiber and sugar content but they've worked better than rice so far. Live and learn and all that stuff. Oh right. And since now there is sunshine at "ridiculous" hours such as 7:30am, here are some photos from when 10am meant really low sun... so about a month ago. The really amazing bit right now though is that we have a lot more sunshine but the shadows are long all the time, even at noon or 1pm, they're the equivalent of what we'll have at 5 or 6pm in a few months. ( +5 - some snow layering! )

Would never have known about salmiakki or mämmi otherwise.

Four years since I first moved to Finland. With one suitcase and a backpack and no idea that four years later I would still be here.
