"Let it be one cheerful rational voice amidst the din of mourners and polemics." Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1840. A Brit-in-Helsinki's blog about global politics, climbing, cycling, things that annoy me and other bits of life. But not necessarily in that order.

Midnight in the north
Midsummer is not far away and there is no real night as a result. I snapped this picture on my laptop's built in camera in the garden. I'm not sure if laptop photo art is likely to take off - you feel a bit silly holding your computer up in the air even in the privacy of your own back yard.
I've just come back from the local bar with some neighbours - I'm trying to think of a punchline to "an Englishman, an Irishman and Turk walk into a suburban Finnish pub. It is run by a Bangladeshi..." but haven't come up with one so far. Perhaps it's not funny, it's just globalisation.
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a pub. The barman say, "What is this, some kind of joke?"
