Phew what a Scorcher

Its 25C in downtown Petrozavodsk - thats 77F in old money. (Unattractive) people are stripping off in the town parks and it takes forever get served in the coffe shops.

Pat and Nina who are students at Leeds uni tell me they are already planning a celebration when they leave as the pace is a little slow for them, I must confess that even as someone who lives in the wilds of Huddersfield the place is a little quiet, Once you have seen the lake and been to the cinema then drinking appears to be the cities most popular hobby, and at 46p for a half litre of Hogaarden who can say the locals have it wrong.

Nothing much else to report apart from my body clock having just given up all together due to constant daylight and their is talk of a group of us visiting Murmansk (its closer to the North Pole than London - so it must be good) at the weekend, purely because we can rather than because their is anything to see.

Thanks for your comments in reply to which , no steam engines, no romance to report and Larrissa is from Volgograd.
