Sunday, May 4

Today I missed the morning altogether and got up at 12:15 in time to join the others for breakfast.

Afterwards I cycled in the bright sunshine to Itäkeskus to see if the pharmacy was open. It was. It now opens seven days a week. I got the tablets that the doctor prescribed for my knee and began to cycle home. Now I am waiting for the traffic lights to change so I can cross the ring road.

When I get home I will notice clouds gathering. A short time later Irma will rush out to bring in the washing from the line. Minutes after that the sky will suddenly darken and we will get an hour of exceedingly heavy hail.

The cat will sit by the window and watch.
