The photographs were taken on December 24th.
Today I commuted by bicycle, and got over two hours of exercise. The roads are covered by packed snow, which is melting, and thus riding the bicycle is quite heavy.

I really don't like shopping, especially when there are a lot of other people queuing and searching for things to buy. This time of the year is about the worst. But I'll go shopping nevertheless, as the children have in mind some things we should buy. These photographs were taken a week ago when it wasn't yet so crowded.

The Finnish independence day, a birthday in the family, and the nearness of Christmas have generated a need to go shopping, which is something I try to avoid, especially in times when many other people are performing the shopping rituals (or are caught in the shopping frenzy). But sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.
