Now I kind of wish they'd make a version of the movie Independence Day with the exact same plot but set in Finland in stead of the US.

... Finland has an equivalent of Area 51? Tell us more. ???

[also notes that the aliens will have to switch to surgical strikes to make "Empire State Building" and "White House" separate targets]

Sure we do, it's called Korvatunturi

So the guy who turns up zipping all over Low Earth Orbit and seeking refuge in every gol-dang household of the planet every year is actually an alien not quite properly held prisoner at a secret Finnish base, uh huh.

("Ear fell"? Is the alien destroyer approaching it going to brandish a giant Q-Tip instead of the energy ray thingie? )

If no one's done it by the time I get home I'll do it. It could be a few hours though. Skalding on phone = bad idea.

Pros: we moved our guinea pigs around so we could make room for our tree and I have both the furry rodent potatoes in my room now

cons: I have a massive headache from cleaning their cages and am reduced to a mulled cider drinking potato on the couch myself ;~;

So we'll have a hurricane today afternoon... hoping to get to close the shop early so I get home before bits of roofs start flying around and the buses stop going.

I am sending you warm thoughts and hugs (and secretly wishing I could trade weathers with you)

Don't wish for that, I'm talking about actual 36-50 m/s weather here. There's recommendations that Reykjavíkians don't show their noses outside after 17.00 o'clock, the south roads will be closed for traffic at midday.

I'd not so much trade the wind, we've had some winds in the last few days that are bringing trees down. But I'd happily swap half your snow for our drought. There was a bit in the paper today saying that our region has just had the driest spring in 100+ years. And temps are already in the high thirties, and going up. Wind and lightning storm is forecast for the next few days sometime, but weather bureau thinks no rain. The birds and insects appear to think differently, hope they're right.

D: Holy --
Crossing my fingers for you to get to close early, yo. Because SERIOUSLY.
