My little Finnish knife along with a 5 Markka note.

Nice to see that! Think the 5 FMK notes disappeared in the early 90s replaced by a coin, there even used to be a 1 FMK note after the currency reform of 1963....5 Fmk isn't even a Euro now, all shows how inflation has roared along since the € got introduced. Sweden and Denmark had referendums about retaining their Kronor and they voted against Euro adoption . We weren't allowed a referendum ...might've given the 'wrong' result...The Markka existed since the 1860s when Finland was a Grand Duchy of Russia, our own currency and National Bank even then, not any longer o_O
 
When the sun is out I am out.

I went into my garden to learn a new skill,its dead simple and very useful.

I could have used my saw and sand paper (no fun in that) so I beaver tailed this very hard wood to cut it.

Then I gradually shortened it until it does the job and is pocket friendly, finally scraping of the bark and oiling the wood.

As the sun was still out when I finished I put on 2 down jackets and sat outside and read another chapter from Nessmuk with a strong cup of tea for company.


It was the chapter on camp fires.

Though I like to learn new things I dont think it would go down to well if with my neighbours or the fire brigade if I cut down my tree and set a massive camp fire in my back garden. 😆

So I am back inside with the heating on waiting for something special coming in the post.

Thank you, Todd. :)
And that's a post on my property that I haven't used in a picture before... The post is way older than my house.
