Runeberg's torte XL

Not quite as large as the XXL version two years ago.

A day that I wished would not come when I'm still not capable to do much. The first slurry pumping this winter, meaning that the pump had to be defrosted, the pipes dug out of snow and fitted together and the pump lowered into slurry in the pumping well, the surface of the slurry being slightly frozen and dry. Luckily it went just about as well as it could in the circumstances, so Triinu managed to do most of physically demanding parts.

A lot ploughing, too, but luckily not quite as much as last weekend. Incredible, that the blizzards come in the weekends, when Jussi and my brother are able to help. The temperature was near zero, but the snow blower worked well until getting clogged in the last little road Jussi was ploughing. The old tractor needed a bit of care before my brother got going with it, as the alternator belt was loose.
