sticking to the Finnish lake theme...

I love how the water here looks like quicksilver!

This is due to the pitch black lake bottom, and the perfectly clear air emphasizes it.

U Netherlands has also warned researchers about the questionnaire. The USGS questionnaire asks, for example, whether the researcher’s organisation works with ‘entities associated with communist, socialist, or totalitarian parties’, whether the research project has taken ‘appropriate measures’ to ‘defend against gender ideology’ and whether the project has ‘measurable benefits for US domestic industries, workforce, or economic sectors’."

Today was a good day

- First day of vacation - off until next Friday
- Treated myself to a gel mani & pedi (and loved that everyone in the shop was a different nationality - Indian, Malaysian, Bulgarian and me)
- Then took the husband for his first Thai massage. Mine was spectacular and she remarked that I have a very high pain threshold
- Bonus: off to the Lake District tomorrow
