The Finns have a convenient word, takatalvi. "Return winter." Takatalvi is when you are enjoying a beautiful spring with budding leaves, singing birds, promises in the air - and then you wake up one morning to a blizzard.
There are weird people who enjoy all kinds of weird weathers, but I have yet to meet someone who likes a takatalvi. It's frustrating at the best of times.
I will deal with this week's takatalvi by getting to grips with an unusual shopping list: a shimmering, turquoise bedspread, white paint, a bag of soil, and a pizza.
