A daily blog to keep my friends and family up-to-speed with my 3-month sabbatical at the Finnish Forest Research Institute (METLA) in Suonenjoki, Finland. For my birding friends, I'll post the "new" birds seen each day.

Back to Work, Monday, 20 Jul

I slept until 7:30, then crawled up to the station just in time for the coffee break. It seemed everyone was glad to see me, and that I was not captive in a Russian gulag. I spent most of the day working on my biochar proposal and study plan, and hopefully tomorrow I can wrap that up. It was a cool and rainy day, but by the end of work it was trying to clear off. I rode my bike into town and got some groceries, although I'll probably need to go again tomorrow for a few more items. I can only carry so much in my bag. They were still selling local strawberries in front of the store, so I picked up a liter of them as well. They are a bit small, but melt in my mouth.
