Sometimes umbrellas are pointless due to the wind… so glasses can be a bit problematic.

Sometimes, given the lack of snow, it’s easy to forget just how up north we are… and then I see the shadows at midday.

It really feels like it hasn’t stopped raining for months. And it’s also raining right now. Been raining the whole day.

98% of the photos of Helsinki this January will be just gloomy, drizzly stuff. Man, what a winter…
January 15
This was one of those “wtf are you doing?” moments… they were filming something along the coast and turned off all the lights to the right of the truck there, which also happens to be a running path. It was around 4pm. It was not fun because, yep, running in pitch black isn’t all that fun.

Isn’t physics a strange thing – ice is slippery but add a thin layer of water on top of that ice and it’s fifteen times as slippery!

So this thing called, “spring” – what is it exactly?
January 30
It used to take me 4 minutes to get to the gym, now it takes me 9 or so… but I do prefer the new one. No classes in the morning means no rush of random people right before 7am when I usually get out!
