19. December

It is 2 days till we are on our way to Norway. I can't really believe it, since this means that it is also christmas soon. Here it is rain, dark, and no christmas feeling at all. And to top it off, I have become stressed about the journey, which makes me mis-calulate everything. I seem to believe that time either moves very fast, or very slow.
So, today's picture is then to show the randomness that can come from stress. Item found in a discount-type-store. Scythe approved by vikings. Must be worth the 1€ it cost!

6. December

Today Finns celebrate their independence day. Most of them nursing a colorful hangover...

Me, however, have used my day off work to study prions and antimocribial peptides, been to a lecture online and gotten restless feet. And apparently, its fully acceptable to wait 1.5 hrs for two lukewarm pizzas to be delivered to your home (even if the kitchen making them are situated not 500 m from here), without any cut in price. Food hygene and quality customer service on its best.

And in the spirit of the day, I picked a picture with fitting theme in the colours. This prettyness was on my car roof the other day, natures wonders of beauty in crystalised water.

2. December

Christmas calendar is a little delayed, but better than never. This picture was taken some weeks ago, when we drove back from Kotka on father's day. We made a pit-stop in the little town Loviisa, to see if we could get a look at the nuclear power plant that is there. Since Janne hasn't seen one of those before (and has been living with nuclear power all of his life...), we figured since it was on the way home.....

We never found it. But we found these lovely little bath-houses in stead. Looks like a Tardis-meeting (if they were a little darker blue....)

And yes, it is supposed to be winter here, but the grass is green and no snow is in sight.

1. December

Today there were many children waking up early for the big event: the Christmas calendar. I don't have one, so I figured that I'd make one instead. A picture a day.

Can I succeed? Well, if one does not shoot the goals up high, one can only achieve modest results..
Behind door number one sits a confused season....

 We have had frost, warmth, frost, warmth. on and on.
This morning the temperature showed -4C. When I walked home at 14, the temperature was warm enough to make trees believe it was the time to shoot some leaves.

welcome spring

Yes I know it was snowing today, and yes I know its still slippery and cold outside... its just... its about time this winter lets go. King Winter, would you so kindly take mr snow and miss ice with you, and go to the place santa claus goes to for the summer-half of the year!
And I haven't even been the one to complain about the minus 25 degrees freaky cold for lengths of time, or the piles and tonnes of snow... not even the darkness of winter time has been a big complaining topic of mine this time around. But now its enough. I want to get that feeling that I have tried to create in my hallway (the picture), and your coldness majesty can't be part of it, sorry.

Oh and by the way, grats to me for feeling very satisfied with my Basic medicine: anatomy and physiology Exam/mid term.
