Afterwards...

The blizzard was great! I really loved horizontally flying snow, but the work the very next day when opening the drive and backyard was pure pain. The snow was humid and heavy. We got about 20 centimetres of it and the garden sheds were also full of snow. Riitta managed to change the tires with the help of a neighbour. I successfully escaped that responsibility and took care of the child and made a leftovers salmon pasta with Greek feta cheese. Hooray for the emancipation!

Busy times, rash, pimples and a blizzard

Sooooooo... this month we've had our first inflammation of the ear, a diaper rash and baby measles (three-day fever). Lots of restless nights.

We opened last Tuesday our show at the Kerava Art Museum and are now in a middle of a blizzard! Lumi's first snow (Lumi = 'snow' in Finnish) came in a quite dramatical way: there is a gale warning today for the seafarers. The wind speeds did hit the national news and some ferries are unable to arrive to ports due heavy northern wind. We've saw even two flashes' blue light in the middle of the horizontally flying snow, believe or not!

The temperatures were also dropping last week. No time for changing winter tires for our car, which means no driving until we have found few free hours for the job... but the car will be buried into snow tomorrow...

Autumn storm rising

Few weeks ago we visited the Porkkala peninsula by car to check the rising autumn storm, which was estimated to rise during next night. Winds were heavy, but not so frightening. Cliffs were nice, air fresh and cold. Carrying a baby in a backbag was a bit scary 'cause the rock and moss were humid and slippery, but we managed well. We decided that we need to do more things like this!

Riitta has been better, but we are still cautious and careful about our schedules, if we can. There are still few shows for this year, so some work has to be done. BTW: I did publish a book...
