Please tell me when to stop sharing winter pictures! This winter started early and is going to be long... We don't travel far or participate in much, due to covid. I am a lot outdoors enjoying nature instead.
We have just played Ticket to ride! It's a fun board game. There are a lot of games with the same name but different maps (the same rules). We chose to buy a game with the USA map. Nowadays children play so much on their phones and computers, that they need to learn real board games! Do you have any favorite board game? 🤔
We have been shoveling snow for around 7 weeks already, and it's only the beginning of the winter. Sometimes we get the first snow that stays on the ground around Christmas or New Year. 2-3 months still to go with snow. Now it's at least half a meter.
Latte art by my husband. He bought an espresso machine almost a year ago, and has ever since practiced brewing and latte art. The machine is very manual and he has learnt about coffee beans (you grind them every time you make a new cup of coffee), optimal temperatures, milk etc. He's a great barista! I have even learnt to drink coffee (latte) as 40+ thanks to this tasty coffee.
I live in a strange country, I know! 😀 Some find it attractive, and others weird. (I think it's a combination of both). I have lived in two other countries as well, and grown up among Swedish speaking Finns in Finland, with our own culture - something in between Finland and Sweden. That means I can identify both with Finns and Swedes, and simultaneously feel like neither a Finn nor a Swede.
The shadow is me - around noon today. 😀 The sun is never even close to zenith in Finland. We always have long shadows, but the longest around winter solstice.
@faith20 thanks for sharing! It's so upsetting that they don't follow the science. But it's the same logic all over the world. And they always mention negative testing as an option for green pass. But is it even possible to keep a job in Italy and go testing every second or third day? In many countries these tests are extremely expensive, if you have to pay for them yourself.
Sunset at 3 PM. Such a beautiful day - again! Epiphany is a holiday in Finland (is it in your country?), so we have had a day off from work and enjoyed nature.
@MaryMamuzich I totally agree with you! 😀 Excuse me for laughing, but it sounded funny that the scarf was perfect.... for a Barbie doll! Sound like my skills! And you are right, it's not good for the shoulders. It wouldn't be a great hobby for me, since I sit so much by the computer. It gives me muscle tensions. I need to move my whole body and exercise in my spare time.
@MaryMamuzich yes, it's a lot of work, and the thing is she has knitted at least a handful more of these to her children and grandchildren! I haven't knitted since we had knitting in school up til grade 9. In Finnish schools the students learn the basics of sewing and knitting. They knit scarves, socks and mittens...
Me and my family in hand-knitted jumpers. My mother-in-law has knitted them, so she wanted us to take a picture.
PhD Julie Ponesse, professor of ethics in Ontario. She was fired, because she refused the jab. She chose to belive the scientific papers written by her colleagues, rather than media, and came to the conclusion that she didn't want the vaccine.
