Saturday, February 14

Today we got up late and eventually had brunch. Irma returned to bed to deal with the lingering effects of the strobe lights at DTM. I went for a head-clearing walk. This involved getting Valentine’s Day tulips, to go with the card and gift voucher from Indiska.

Now, after an hour of unexpected snow, I am on a second walk. I am by the children’s playground where Auo and I used to go when she was eight or nine. The ditch that pretends to be a stream is no longer frozen.

When I get home Irma will drive Naa to the metro. She is going to Kappeli where Samppo is treating her to a Valentine dinner.

We will stay home tonight. In fact we will both be fast asleep by 21:21.
