My New Finnish Word....


...is poskiontelontulehdus. I will leave you to guess why. (sinusitis in case you are not a Finn).

Sorry for the silence over the last two days - but the only way to describe how I have been feeling is to use the English expression "death warmed up."  That should pretty much give you a clue.  The mixture of flu, coughing, blocked sinuses and headache meant that I have spent most of the weekend in bed. 


Somero's own Lumilinna



This morning though, the sun was shining and the sky was bright blue, so I thought it was time to go out and get some fresh air. I took my camera with me and went looking for things to make myself feel better.  This is what I found....



Freedom....


Light at the end of the Tunnel...


The New Kohnamäki Bridge

The sun is shining in Somero


Missed him.....



   
The view doesn't get better than this
Almost looks like summer






I know that I am far from the only person feeling a bit unwell at the moment, so this last picture is for you if you are feeling less than a hundred per cent today.



At least today the sun is shining and the sky is blue, and if you live in Finland you don't have to go very far to find pictures such as these. Tsemppiä for the new week starting tomorrow!

Hopefully a general practitioner (if you visited in our local health center..)ordered restorative medicine for you!Try to avoid fatigue - you have so many things going on...! Once again the writer and readers in general are on the same wavelength when it comes to enjoying the pure landscape,I suppose.This blog is at the peak of its popularity - let's hope the success continues. And hopefully those tracks in one of your photos were left by THE squirrel...

Thank you Heikki...I have antibiotics and hopefully am now on the road to recovery! Unfortunately the tracks were not from THE squirrel. They were from a hare...and I missed him. And I hear that Akseli has shown a total lack of loyalty and has been spotted at the neighbour's house. The motto of the story is NEVER trust a squirrel.

Nowadays some specialised physics says that ucared inflammations may be cause of angina pectoris, that is why it is very necessary to take a rest until inflammation is over again. At least it´s wise to avoid all kind loads.
