Finland is gearing up to celebrate Vappu/Wappen (the coming of Spring) this weekend. There will traditionally be lots of offerings to the god of Spring in the form of alcohol-based vomit. We will all be dressing in skimpy clothes and freeze our ***** off while having picnics in the rain. We will feel the heavy pressure of being absolutely obliged to have the Time of our Lives. Hearts will be broken.
Can't wait.
Anyway, it's Veteran Day today. To all of you war veterans out there who do or don't read blogs: Thank you. Without you, I would be scraping a living in a run-down, former Soviet republic. Now I'm scraping a living in a free and prosperous country, but at least it's our country. You are heroes!
