Torpor

enjoying the sunshine

« Enjoying the sunshine at Vanjanlinna where we had a 'Summer Seminar'. I put a few pictures from the event in a Vanajanlinna gallery. »

The summer solstice is today so it's all downhill from here in the sunshine department. It's funny how quickly you can get tired of and annoyed by the nearly constant sunshine when it's all you wished for back in November. The doldrums of summer are here and Finland is about to go quiet for the next four weeks as the entire country goes on holiday. I, however, will be at the office...the downside of being the new guy.

Aside from finding that The Bark Magazine has a new blog, Otava's new bed arriving and finding a particularly challenging Finnish cake to obsess on making this week, it's nothing but largesse, little energy and ennui. Welcome to the torpor zone.

As an aside, if by chance the creepy drunk guy on the sidewalk who asked me if I was Elaine and then proceeded to follow or 'sneak', as only a stumbling drunk could, behind Otava and I reads this; either smile and identify yourself or bring your [sober] homies to kick my ass next time. :)
