This week on the 13th of July we went from the heat to the quite cool Finland where people were still waiting for the summer to start. It had been a cool and rainy summer so far. For me it was no problem as I had a few translation jobs to finish and the first week in Finland I sat by the computer and worked quite a lot and working is much easier when it's round 20 degrees than when it's almost 40! Of course my children needed something to do and they don't have so many friends in Finland, so I tried to get out with them at least a little bit every day.
The first days it wasn't raining and when the weather is nice you can enjoy the day light until late at this time of the year. On Friday evening we took a walk in Kotka to see the old water tower from where you have a nice view over the city, on Saturday morning we went to the market place to buy strawberries and eat "posso", which is a kind of donut, but much better. You eat it warm, it's crispy and has warm apple jam inside. The children went out just behind my parents' house to pick blueberries and they also found lots of wild strawberries. There were so much of them that we also made a cake. Sitting most of the day behind the computer and eating all these good things is not a very good combination!
