We go to the centre and marvel at the bright sunlight and bright blue sky hanging over the buildings in Runeberginkatu.

The ground still has snow covering it and the contrast strikes me as peculiarly Finnish.

We will go home and sit wondering what to do, with just the two of us. We will find ways of amusing ourselves but they will not involve reading Monocle. I will decide to save that for another day. They will also not involve eating Christmas dinner or drinking glöggi.

Next year, perhaps.
