Itäväylä, 11:30

We are in Helsinki, and for the first time in weeks I woke up late.

All morning the sky has been overcast and I have gone out for a walk. It seems strange being back in the city after six weeks. I am watching the main road, waiting for the lights to change.

The washing machine will be whirring all day. In the afternoon we will go shopping for food, and in the evening we will watch the Olympics for the first time. Naa will go to Kamppi to spend the night there, and we will carry on watching athletes throw things.
