In between books and puzzles we've managed to get out and about the island a bit. First we decided to just deal with the clouds and go exploring because it was warm-ish. The wind was really strong, but not too cold and I was entranced by the non-stinging jelly-fish, the little minnows that flashed silver streaks when they swim in schools, and the different kinds of seaweed.
Cora had fun exploring the cool rock formations, lots and lots of granite with cool sprirals and twists in the rock. Gus and Steph, I'm going to need your help on this one, my geology knowledge is very faded.
As the fog rolled in thickly we decided to head back so as not to get caught in nastier weather. We finished off the afternoon watching from the porch as the fog covered everything in the immediate vicinity, till all we could see was the bright yellow boat in front of the house, and pieces of the blue sky directly over the house. After some time it waned, and we could see the neighbors again, but it was a little bit of Finnish magic while it lasted. I now see why people comb the forests and islands for trolls and sprites!

pretty pictures, nice rocks, sounds like a wonderful time. make sure you don't bring any trolls home, or you'll have to declare them to ICE.
