It's a Beautiful Day!

Today really made me realise how much I missed the sun during winter... apart from the sunburn I have now.
Coming from Australia you'd think I'd remember to put on sunscreen, but the sun seems so pathetically weak here that I didn't think about it... and suffered the consequences! I won't forget again though... red just doesn't go with most of my clothes!

In other news... The Helsinki Samba Festival was on today and I witnessed the start of the parade through the city.
What can I say, it wasn't exactly Carnivale in Brazil. A number of white, not too trim, Finnish women wearing sequinns and feathers attempting to shake their booties. It wasn't very pretty and certainly didn't inspire me to samba... broken foot or not!
