The long, cold, dark & wet winter has once again come to our place, Finland. It’s long as this will last until March next year. Cold as expected but we still have not experienced though the real winter in this place at minus 30+. Last year was only about minus 15. Dark, as we go to office and the kids to school when the sun has not risen and be back when the sun is fully set. I remember my youngest son telling his Mom that he doesn’t want to go to school as it is still night time :-).At it’s peak we have barely 5 hours daylight. It’s wet too. If it is not rain, sleet or snow is falling. On the other side the kids are also happy that once again they will be skating. The skating rink in our hometown opened last weekend and the kids were so glad about it. They did not stay long though last Sunday, as they have not yet adjusted to the freezing temperature in the rink. The last time they skate here was on February this year. Even my eldest son who is supposed to be playing again with his hockey stick could not make it. My feet are getting itchy watching them glide on the snow. I think I can not wait for another month for the complete healing of my appendectomy before I joined them for skating :-).
