The winter season this year was a bleak affair.

Christmas was pretty, with mom coming home from Liberia and going on a Christmas decoration shopping spree. Coloured lights in every window of the apartment.
But then it rained. And snowed. And rained. The path through the oak grove by SRC turned slippery. And I only managed to go cross-country skiing once. Matching time off and snow occurrence was impossible.

I also had many ideas for things to write about on the blog. Articles that I had read, things that workshops and seminars had made me think about. But they didn’t get written. I was too busy worrying about work. To be honest, now that it is behind me, winter is kind of a blur.

But I did go on a really nice Sunday walk with my aunt Kaarina in January. The setting sun turning the snow lilac.
