AND WINTER CAME

After two weeks Christmas holiday in Finland we were ready to return to Bochum, expecting rain. In Finland there was snow, not enough though (never enough for me I guess) and it was quite cold. Most of the days the temperature was around -5∘c, but one morning I got to enjoy temperature of -18∘c, which was nice. Anyway, back to Bochum. As we took the taxi from the airport around noon, it was dry, gray and too warm to wear our winter coats - outside I mean. After two weeks without heating our apartment was cold enough for wearing winter coats inside the house.

Miska finally found use for all my candles. Hundreds of them.. Slowly the apartment started to warm up. I decided to visit a friend and as I was leaving, I noticed it had begun to snow. After three hours as I was returning home, there was 10 centimetres snow! Bochum was all covered in this magical white stuff that makes the world so soft and silent. I dragged Miska out for a walk and enjoyed the winter weather, my weather. I was hopping in the snow, kicking it, throwing it, loving it!

It was winter in Bochum. Even more than it had been in Finland. After 9 years it was really winter and it lasted almost for 10 days. And now it's gone. It's raining. I can see the green grass again. But never mind, it was here! What, you don't believe me? Check out the photos from 5th of January.
