Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I have just landed in Helsinki. It’s so cold that even the plane is trundling slowly to the gate because “it’s a bit slippy out there” (according to the captain). I have a trip up to Oulu in Northern Finland tomorrow. There are rumours of temperatures of -26C. I suspect that my lightweight Hugo Boss rain jacket and my Russell and Bromley leather slip-ons are going to make me the laughing stock of the Arctic Circle. I suspect I may have to buy a couple of tennis rackets and kill and de-skin a seal pup with my bare hands to survive and ensure I get back to Paris in the evening.
