I had some new and exciting ideas for the theme of Thursdays, but in the end they were not that good and then time run out and here I am again posting these Finnish emojis...
As I am publishing this, it is 8:30 in the morning and the sun will rise in 1 hour and 5 minutes and stay above the horizon for 6 hours. The sky is clear, so the sun will be shining. The temperature is expected to be between -19 and -20 degrees of Celsius (that's -2 to -4 in Fahrenheits) with a mild wind making it feel like -26 to -28 (-15 to -18 in Fahrenheits). Yes, it is quite cold here in Southern Finland, not unheard of, but not common. This morning they made the new record for this winter in Northern Finland, -41,7 and they expecting it to get colder. Yes, -43 in Fahrenheits.
I don't have any lunch plans yet (working at home), so may be some barbeque?

FOUR SEASONS OF BBQ
The feeling of “ny rillataan”
[“let’s grill” in Tampere dialect]
It’s always a good weather to barbeque. Every Finnish household has a bbq of some sort at home, many even more than just one (portable, gas, coal, wooden…) Turning the grill on is an ultimate Finnish way of celebrating, anything. We have even had Finnish Championships in ‘Ball grilling’, ‘pallogrillaus’.

I don't know, may be it is freezing cold elsewhere, because there are not that many posts today. Happily our Dutch Duo is on fire, so there should be at least two posts today.
- ArthurS has some civilized Black Orc athletes
- MartinjN has some uncivilized Barbarians
Oh yeah, I missed one post. There will be an army from MartinC today, too.
ReplyDeleteHmm, barbecue sounds like a plan... Have a great day Teemu!
ReplyDeleteHere is Sydney its was 23deg C at 0300, sunrise was at 0550 and the temp peaked at 28deg C with 86% humidity before the sun set at 2010 :-)
ReplyDeleteI guess you pretty much on the opposite side of the globe than me. :) It is difficult to wait for the paint to dry on that humidity and temperature. ;)
DeleteSix hours of sunlight is just dismal.
DeleteI wondered where our winter weather had gone. We’ve been about 0C recently, although chillier now at -10C
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a great day of it Teemu. Put something tasty on the barby in celebration.
ReplyDeleteMmm bbq … it’s too damn wet here for that!
ReplyDeleteHow do you bbq at such temperatures? Teemu you are crazy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't bbq, I'm not that crazy. :) But some are, especially now when the price of the electrity is sky high.
Deleteits been rather hot here in New Zealand as it's our summer time, the other night around 9pm at night the temperature was still 31 degrees, my painting room was so hot that when I tried to paint it dried on the brush before it got to the figure, it's bbq season here to, can't imagine it being that cold. keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteSounds too cold for me. BBQ would be a good way to keep warm though.
ReplyDeleteAt least the beer will be cold! Best wishes from sunny and hot NZ
