6 very cold parkruns in Helsinki in January but yesterday was the coldest one ever. Possibly in the world? Photo 2 is my Thai friend - who did an extra 5k. 💪 #loveparkrun

I’m embarrassed by this already and I’m not American. The start of the briefing - opening with Minnesota mugshots, then saying Somalis have low IQ then mentions Venezuela and then back to ‘tough people’.

Bohemian Rhapsody at Last Night of the Proms was something really special. 50 years old!

Record-breaking heatwave in Finland in July. Seemingly ended now it’s August.

July started cooler than usual, but ended with a sweltering heatwave
A record-breaking heatwave with temperatures above 30°C ended July, which was exceptionally warm in some places in Finland.
