Hei taas, äiti! (Hi again, mother!)
Your little hedgehog has been very industriously trying to learn finnish numbers!
I can now repeat the numbers in a queue from 1 to 10, but it is much more difficult to remember them without repeating the whole queue! But I´ll learn!
Here they are:
1 yksi
2 kaksi
3 kolme
4 neljä
5 viisi
6 kuusi
7 seitsemän
8 kahdeksan
9 yhdeksän
10 kymmenen
So, nowadays I´m counting everything in finnish.
In this pic there are "kaksi sientä" (two mushrooms).
In this pic there is too many mushrooms! I can´t count so big numbers yet!
"Yksi mökki". (one cottage) here.
Here is "kolme ystävää" (three friends) covering me with dry leaves, when I wanted to test how it would feel to hibernate in a pile of leaves like finnish hedgehogs do during the vinter.
Here is "yksi siili" (one hedgehog) nesting.
Phew! That was enough of counting for this day!
I´ll count some more next time.
Here I am on the rocks in the seashore in Porkkala, where we drowe one day to watch the wawes after a very stormy night.
It was very beautiful, but also a bit chilly there, so we decided to build a fire and make some coffee.
Here it is cooking allready.
I´m keeping an eye on the fire while the others went to find more firewood, and also keeping myself warm.
Then we were having choc. cookies with coffee!
I went to investigate a bit our surroundings.. there was a very mossy pine forest.
And from there I found these suppilovahveros (Cantharellus tubaeformis), out of which it is possible to made excellent dishes.
I ate one straight away.
On our way home I photographed these sunflowers for you, mum!
See you soon again!
