Tuesday, July 2

We have spent the day “doing things”: small things that improve our lives to a much bigger extent than the work they take to do. We have added hooks at various points, moved things around, tidied up the discarded wood from the shed-building, and made ourselves a new washing line.

Now we are relaxing for a few minutes.

In thirty minutes time we will begin haywork, and today it will be proper work. We will be working in the big field near Brännas, and there will be a lot of hay bales and a lot less people than yesterday. They will also be a tractor and trailer crewed entirely by teenagers.

Later we will talk with Marina about washing machines and learn about the type we need, if we are going to avoid driving to and from Helsinki every few days with sacks of laundry.
