Reminiscence

I have always felt some unease with celebrating juhannus i.e. Midsummer. The way Finns typically celebrate it doesn't appeal to those of us who are less big on drinking and who haven't got huge family cottages - or families, for that matter - to gather at.

So it is today too. I'm having a day off, with a very loose agenda. It feels quite nice to stay at home after an intensive 10-day residential course with all the social interaction - however much I loved it there.

On such a day it is also nice to think back to past Midsummers (hence the picture).
