THE WEEKEND FINALLY!
Fridays are for me Freedom day.... the work week is finally over and I can relax, kick off the heels, and enjoy a drink. Its been an unusually hot spring and the summer it seems will be the same. So naturally it nice to be home and sit outside , light the barbecue and enjoy dinner al fresco.
Its a thing about summertime that reminds me of summers spent in northern Europe, visiting family and spending the summers boating, eating fresh shrimps and mounds of delicious strawberries. A oh so relaxing time. Strolling over rocky coasts, or vast sand dunes that stretched on forever. The long summer nights .......
NORDIC THINGS ... HYGGE , LAX , IKEA
The Scandinavian countries come alive in the summer after the long winters, and it is their love of the outdoors nature and enjoying the small things. No wonder the nordic countries are always top of the list of the best living standards. Life is slower there.
Like the idea or word hygge , its a way of life - or like the saunas that the Finnish people are famous for.
Another more amusing word I recently read about is the Finnish word, PANTSDRUNK - a english translation. It is something the Finnish people enjoy to do after a week of work and in the winters months when it is to cold to go to the local pub. Basically its sitting at home in their undies and drinking beer.... hmmm okay. So whats strange about that?
I can imagine it happens in many places in the world .
So on that note, CHEERS (lemonade) everyone and have a great weekend.
