The weather is cool, I would say 18 degrees centigrade, cloudy.
My doctoral dissertation is approaching completion -- ie, the defence
of the thesis. See http://www.hut.fi/~ajy/diss-1.pdf .
Rastafarian guerrillas running amok on Helsinki streets and gardens

Helsinki is a very green city, a Central Park runs thru the suburbs
and the northern part of the centre of the town. Here where I live it
is like living in a summer residence the year round..... And there are
several parks right in the middle of the town.
Took my Drake R8E from the package where it was lying on the floor,
threw a 10-meter long L antenna onto the jasmines in our garden, and
started to listen. I also often listen to the éton e1 on the lawn of
our garden....

Sounds like a beautiful place! How about the winters? The humidity? I
can tell you that South Florida is a green sweatbox almost all year
long. Can't wait for us to get out of here.
Helsinki has a maritime climate, she is on the northern shore of the
Gulf of Finland -- which is a part of the Baltic Sea.
The winters are zero degrees centigrade, this summer was at its highest
some 28 degrees centigrade.
The weather is often somewhat humid because of the sea which lies very
close by. You can start a sailing trip from Helsinki to anywhere in the
world.... some affluent individuals like to sail from Helsinki to the
Mediterranean Sea, along the Atlantic Ocean. That is indeed fun!!
