I am awake ridiculously early. Here in Helsinki it is daylight for around 21 hours a day right now. When I get to Jyvaskyla the day will be even longer. Also it is very warm, which doesn’t help the sleeping. The thermometer in the guest room here at Otto & Paula’s says 26.5 C, and it is 7:00am. That might be nothing by Sacramento standards, but for Northern Europe it is quite impressive.
Bloggage is liable to be light for a couple of days due to travel and press conferences. I’m writing this on the iPad which is fine for typing but not so good for serious blog composition as it doesn’t have proper multi-tasking. I want to tell you all about Death Whisky (and Illuminati Whisky), but that needs pictures. They are on Twitter, along with comments from myself and Neil Gaiman.
My friends in Alaska use Black Out Curtains in the summer. The only way to get a room dark when the sun isn’t cooperative.
It can be weird to hear the kids happily playing outside at 3 am because it is a bit cooler then, and the sun is up any way.
Get some sleep when you can.
