Some peace and quiet, please

I’ve been working like a dog for the past couple of weeks. Finally things are settling down and my evenings are free for some quiet family life — of course from Thursday onwards, as today is fully booked.

Tomorrow, Sanna will take the son with him and go to Joensuu by train. I’ll follow her with a car later the very day — there are a big possibility for heavy traffic jams between Lahti and Heinola, some 100 kilometers north from here. As the car doesn’t have airconditioning, the experience could be too much for our son. Next year, they should have built the missing highway section between these cities and we’ll zoom past Heinola — just to hit a new jam in Lusi, where the highway ends…

While in Joensuu region, in Polvijärvi to be exact, we’ll celebrate Finnish juhannus (midsummer) by giving a name to our son and then having a sauna, some traditional foods and watching the bonfire.

The weather has been nice for the past weekend, hopefully it stays similar throughout juhannus.
