And just when it gets warm enough in Stockholm to start power walking… I end up in Finland. Hello, more snow and ice! But it’s mom’s birthday. And I also want to hang out with my friend Konrad whom I wasn’t able to meet last time. So, I jumped on a plane and crossed the new “Nato-sea” in 45 minutes flat.

Tomorrow’s plan: absolutely nothing. I won’t even bother with makeup. Instead I’ll probably curl up in one of the cozy armchairs in the library and read a good book, taking breaks here and there for all the yummies being served. 😋

These little biscuits were waiting for me when I arrived today. They look deceitfully plain but actually contain lingonberries, crushed nuts and just enough sugar not to be overly sweet like all the store-sold pastries. That’s the secret of a true dessert master: not overdoing the sugar.

Before I turn in for the night there’s one more thing I’m gonna do: take this blog live. So, hello world! 🤗
