I love watching our garden in bloom, after a long winter and unusually cold spring time. This is rhododendron.
I'm a little proud that Finland (= Suomi in Finnish on their shirts) won over the US yesterday in their first match in the IIHF World Championship in Latvia yesterday! This is a small country of 5,5 million people and with much, much less money involved in all sports. But on the other hand every Finnish child learns to skate at the age of 7 or younger. In addition many Finnish hockey players who use to compete for our country have already been headhunted to NHL and other leagues in the USA and Canada where they have gotten great training. Who will win the whole competition?
"Beyond meat, beyond sausage". Exactly! Beyond the real sausages I use to eat. 😂 🤣 😂
Lost in translation part 2. (I don’t understand Chinese, but I understand that the English translation is not really proper).
Suddenly it got warm - around 22°C today (tomorrow 15°C). Last time it was snowing (a little) was 6 d ago. I love this time of the year in Finland! The birds are singing intensely and nature is just bursting. We almost have midnight sun already. The picture of the beach and from the greenhouse are taken between 8 and 9 PM!
Dingdash office 2021, like Facebook office 2004? 😉 I must say I prefer the 2004 version (I joined FB in 2007), compared to the creepy business it is today.
A little (yellowish) snow left of the winter - in the slope a was skiing a couple of months ago. Soon nature is really green. Springtime came late this year.
My colleague and friend Heidi defended her doctor's thesis today and invited me to the dinner at a fine dining restaurant. It felt like coming out of a cave, since we have been working from home since March 2020 and haven't met all together since that. I have been so much in the woods lately and I prefer hiking shoes before high heels. But I have nothing against this world. We Christians are not called out of the world, but to be where the people are... even if it's sometimes easier to just be with those who think and are like yourself... or to be alone in nature.
I love The Babylon bee sarcasm. And I love the fact that it's possible (as a Nordic citizen) to question what's going on regarding covid and world politics on Dingdash, without being called names and being accused of being anti-intellectual fooled by conspiracy theories, like you easily are on Facebook... (The question is, who is fooled? The trust in governments is too high in the Nordic countries, in my opinion).
You might think I am a little weird, because I'm tapping birch sap. It's super healthy and I give it to my son to enhance his immune system, since it helps against pollen allergy. It's very easy to tap, and we have birches, so why not... it's expensive in grocery stores. (And to all tree huggers: it doesn't hurt the tree. We plug the hole when we are finished and it heals).
Yes, it's true! You can check the link. (Sverige = Sweden, Suomi = Finland). Before the plandemic we used to travel between the countries without border controls and passports (by car, plane, boat). But then came the covid... I don't know if the golf course will be open this summer. https://torniogolf.fi/course/?lang=en
What?! Someone must be joking, and it's not even funny! 😅 Everything has already started to grow, and I've been in the garden with a t-shirt on. April in Finland...
