Last week i mostly learnt about saunas. We went to a wedding in Finland where we also got to stay in cabins in the middle of the snow. If you can imagine the Big Brother house set outside Helsinki somewhere you might get some idea of what it was like. Six couples in their late twenties/early thirties sharing two showers, one jacuzzi bath and a sauna. One catch. All these things were in the same room. We kept our swimming cozzies on (very unFinnish)
Well folks, I can confirm that saunas are mostly fuelled by testosterone. The boys wanted to see how hot they could get it, and then how often they could plunge into a hole in a frozen lake to cool off. I did this once, but insisted in walking down there in my (gold, embroidered) slippers, through the snow. And I scraped my knees cross-country skiing and developed the sort of bruises on my bottom that make you scream out loud when I catch sight of them in the mirror.
Wedding was fab, time away was fab. Back to chaos. We are having the bathroom done. We are cleaning our teeth in the kitchen sink and the plumber is sucking his teeth at our pipework. All the stuff from the bathroom is all over the house. Office is full of redundancy news. I don't want all my friends to leave (stamping my little foot in annoyance actually). Doing a lot of praying that I will be able to cope with all this, as don't feel I am managing it particularly well right now. It's all a bit unpleasant
