This week はる is catching on. The temperature has been around +20°C (some snow and ice still lurks in the deepest shadows), the grass is getting greener and trees are growing leaves. This means, of course, that my enemies are back:

Attack of the Killer Pollen, episode 29 starts :-/

Another sure sign of なつ getting closer in Oulu is street repairs. Every Spring, when the soil melts enough for digging, an army of digging machines appears out of blue and attacks the innocent streets, causing noise and chaos. Here’s some visual evidence:

After I had took the second photo and started walking, あおい車 (probably the one on the right side of the photo) stopped on the street by me, the driver opened a door and a conversation like this took place:

Driver: Did you just took a photo of the street repairs?
Me: Umm, yes?!
D: Why?
Me: Huh? Just for fun..
D: Could you send it to me?
Me: Huh²?! I took it with my phone, the quality is pretty bad…
D: No problem.. I sold them that fence, but I don’t have a camera with me.
Me: Well, ok, just give me your e-mail address.

He ripped off the めいし glued on top of a box of めいし (apparently he had ran out), gave it to me and drove away. I mailed him the two photos, maybe he rewards me with half a meter of fence or something..
