The weather's been terrible over the midsummer festivities – bad enough that my family decided to skip any attempts to enjoy the main festive day of juhannus and instead chose to drive the eldest's house moving load to her new place :o)

Yesterday looked like a surprisingly decent piece of summer, so I ran to the woods for a moment of peace and, as it turned out, solitude – the place is a campsite for a group of friends, but I had it all for myself. Cooked food, enjoyed my own spruce tip beer, played the djembe to get it to battle tune after a head replacement, got the tent sauna going and swam in the lake. Good times.
