Hei äiti!
We are in Finland again. Actually we have been here already almost a week, but Henna has been mainly laying on the bed bottom, blowing her nose every 3 seconds and eating vitamin C and being in rather bad mood..
Outside it has not been any more cheerful - it just rains and rains and rains, and oh how it is dark!
The sun rises around 9.00 in the morning and sets already around 15.30, and because it is cloudy all the time we have not seen her (the sun) at all!
So we poor toyvoyagers have been left to amuse ourselves as well as possible!
Here we are having a little snack and enjoying the light of candles against the darknes.
Today the rain ceased for couple of hours and we used those hours to our advantage, left Henna to sneeze in her bed and went for a walk.
I´m happy we have not got her flue!
We were a bit too late, anyway.
The sun set very soon, and we lit a fire and sat enjoying its warmth.
At Lappland, northern Finland, the sun rises at 11.20 and set at 12.28. Very soon it doesn´t rise anymore at all.
Can you imagine living in a place where the sun doesn´t rise, mum?
And how was it in the past, before the elecric lights.. it is hard to even imagine.
We sat there for some time, but then the rain started again, it had just been collecting new strength, maybe having a cup of coffee, who knows.. anyway, we came back here and now we are going to try to cheer Henna up by singing her some naughty songs!
I wish you have nicer weather there, mum!
