cerealjoeMy dad is in town for a couple of days and it seems the weather has decided to really show him what autumn in Helsinki is all about! He did get a glimpse of the sun on Monday afternoon but yesterday was just a perfect example of what I like to call one of the usual "the only reason you know it's day is because it's grey outside instead of pitch black" day... and this is why, ladies and gents, reflectors are a must around here. We even had that annoying little drizzle and that constant wind. And the 3:30pm night-time. I think soon he'll understand the local "omg it's sunny out there, must go outside now" attitude the moment the next ray of sunshine will appear. Next week. Hopefully.  It's rather unusually warm though, maybe next week we can go down closer to zero! (side note: having one of them fancy retina displays is nice but let me tell you that screen grabs are a pain in the butt to work with! A 13" screen gives you a 2560x1600px screen grab and then you have to resize it and the resized version looks like shit. And then you're just accept it, go "meh, whatevs" and post it anyway.) But moving on! Guess who now has fancy cheese and an advent calendar and squirrel food (the dates are mostly gone now, btw)?  Straight from Marseille, be jealous!  I just asked my mum for a large cube of good old fashioned savon de Marseille and she sent me all of this and some other stuff that didn't make it into the picture (namely fancy cacao powder, I didn't want to risk getting some on the floor though). My dad's luggage was cutting it very close to 23kg in the end! But hey, it was Christmas before Christmas for me, happiest 27 year old kid in the world right here! Thanks mum and dad! |
