Hermannin rantatie, 8:46
 
I have more or less stopped using Sörnäinen since the major roadworks make for constant changes in the environment, and the bus stops keep shifting. Instead I have taken to using Kalasatama, as have many other people.
Today I get off the 55 bus and walk across the grass to Arcada. I pause as I pass Prakticum and photograph the single tree, as a cyclist passes by in shorts.
We have reached that time of year where all consensus about clothing breaks down. Some people leap eagerly into their winter clothes while others stick stubbornly to their summer wear for as long as humanly possible.
I stopped wearing shorts about two weeks ago. The temperature today has fallen to 9 degrees.
