I've been celebrating the Midsummer Day with my family. Here in Finland, the whole country basically closes down for the weekend and almost everyone heads to the countryside. Fire officials had banned bonfires this year, so no 'kokko'. Lots of good food and even greater company, plenty of swimming and enjoying the sauna!

Kävin kaupassa hakemassa ilta-aleruokia, nyt on kanariisi uunissa paistumassa halvalla sähköllä. Viikonloppu menee töissä, isompi projekti joka kestää tämän ja ensi viikon. Jos sitä viikon päästä lauantaina ehtisi vapaapäivääkin viettämään...
I have to say I have no idea. What an interesting question!
I live in Finland, and the winters can be pretty rough. There is also a long tradition of building from wood. It would be impractical to build a house, usually with several fireplaces, only for the heat to escape through the ground.
Dirt floors are only used in structures where people don't spend the night, for example sheds. Also, there is an old church from the 15th century with the original dirt floor because of its historical significance.
Because it's easy for them to have someone specific to blame. If there's no contact and stuff still sucks, it could be something else than us...
Northern Europe, in my 40s, always driven a manual.

Good. God. It. Is. Awful.
Pori Jazzit koettu, eilen hienolla Robbie Williamsin keikalla kun sain työkaverilta päivälipun. Tänään stressiä ja valmistelua, huomenna leirityö kutsuu.
I live in a Finnish midsized town with a population of roughly 80 000 people. My repair shop offers to drive you where you want to go, but you're in charge of the way back to the shop when they call to say your car is fixed.
It's a great service, and it guarantees my loyalty to that shop!
