Porvoo, 13:54

 
 

We have spent almost two hours talking to a salesperson in K–Rautta in Porvoo about the costs involved in building a summer house, and learned a lot less than we expected.

My attention wanders for a moment or two and I look out of the window. I notice what the salesman sarcastically refers to as a lentoauto – a car plane. It conjures up a nice image and thirty minutes later, when we all step outside, I notice it still there and wander over to photograph it. A fork lift truck takes large pallets of gas cylinders, two at a time, from under the open wings and into Puuilo.

We drive back to Helsinki in pouring rain.
