Hi!

I haven't updated my blog for so long, that i don't even know how to start now. As usual, it's best to start with the weather: the snow is gone now. There have been even sunny days accompanied with bird twitter all around, but spring in February seems more like a cruel joke, where the punch-line could be a surprise winter in April. On the 4th march there's this celebration of (the translator said:) Shrovetide. The last big feast before fasting, with traditional sledge rides, (this year in the mud i suppose,) and pea-soup and salted beans. And buns with whipped cream. It's a moving holiday and last year we were out on our skies at that time.

My driving lessons are almost finished and it's soon time to take the exams. I have this "let's get it over with" feeling. Don't really know if it's good or not, but i really would like to spend my own time in a different way already.

Juss is nowadays totally into birds. We have two books: European mammals and European birds, and the last one is a clear winner. From last week we've been listening to a bird twitter CD non-stop. I wish I could preserve this interest and nourish it, or else it'll move on like the muumins- facination, which i'm glad is not so strongly present any more. Altho' every nap starts with the request of the moomin-song. But birds are even cooler; it's an interest in nature and life, with many questions and fascinating answers, when found.

Miki woke up, so this is it for today.

I'll write to you soon again!

 Bisous!
