Garden, Sundö, 14:30
 
It was very cold again this morning, and it had been raining heavily in the night.
After breakfast I finished painting the inside of the new shed / country kitchen, while Irma planted some rare lillies we had transplanted from another part of Pellinki, where they were growing wild.
Sunshine is disguising himself by sitting on the top of the well, which is approximately the same grey as he is. In twenty minutes he will race indoors as the rain starts. I will finish painting one side of the roof before joining everyone else in the house.
At 18:00 Irma and Naa will leave for Helsinki, and AUo and I will huddle in the cold until we can get into bed and read with the blankets round our chins.
