Today's crush

Seeing bits of blue sky and small, shy, weak rays of sunshine after possibly the grayest two months in history feels like... well, it's almost like being re-born, isn't it?  Who knew that just when I thought I couldn't take any more gray, just when the rain, clouds, and everyone's accompanying depressiveness were becoming too much to bear, the weather would turn and make everything ok again.  Just a few days ago, in the words of my fiance, Helsinki was not too different from Mordor, and today the city is positively shining!

With this beautiful weather comes a cold crisp iciness which blows straight through the city.  The freshness is surprisingly energizing, but it does make me wish I could get my hands on this Canada Goose jacket.  I swore I wouldn't wear black this winter (the winter streets of Helsinki are filled with people dressed in nothing but), but it just looks so warm and practical.  Am I sounding any more Finnish to you yet?
