Benita’s, 14:20
Today is the first day that Benita opens her cafe, and we are there shortly after it opens at 14:00. We are almost the first people there, and everyone spends ages saying hello to each other. We are sitting outside looking at the sea and slowly freezing to death, because the wind heading inland is far from a warm breeze.
Soon we will go indoors, and sit and chat some more, before driving home to do more gardening and tidying up.
Later we will spend the evening with Mikael and Camilla in a gentle but very nice Vappu party, have great homemade doughnuts and sima, go to bed, and fall asleep in about two minutes.
Ah, that country air!
