Ha, yes, knew they had more saunas but didn't realise they invented that too. Smart of them though, with all that cold! I'd want plenty of Saunas too and an excuse to get outside when dark so much of the day as one moved further North into Lapland etc. A great Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712046924863763290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-16782136586033524242017-12-11T10:10:15.735+10:002017-12-11T10:10:15.735+10:00Thanks, Mary.

Technically, I am late because I posted mine on Thursday morning here in Australia whereas Michael posts the prompts for a Wednesday according to the US time zones. So the Linky gadget closes there on a Wednesday but it's actually a Thursday here which is why I always feel a tad guilty when I post late here. I get extra time to play with thanks to time zones. :)<br /><br />With all Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166133926661022482.post-79543672286669117182017-12-07T17:31:15.608+10:002017-12-07T17:31:15.608+10:00Thanks, Pam.
