"This is some... small, white polypore." "Polypores are funny in the way that..." //
"...their habitat is not just 'forest' or even 'old spruce forest'." //
"Rather, it's something like 'in an old spruce forest under the trunk of a spruce that fell 20 to 40 years ago'." //
"You're right there. What's also good about polypores is that..." //
"...they don't fly or run away when you're trying to identify them." "Haha, true!"
"Z" //
"Z -- ! I'm a bit cold." //
"I wonder where my woolen socks are...?" //
"Oh, no! They've probably fallen down on Ilu's face!" //
"!" //
"Thank you! And sorry." "No problem."
A note for my non-Finnish readers: the Finnish proverb "suksi suolle" literally translates to "go ski on a swamp" and means pretty much the same as "get out of my sight". Skiing on a swamp is pretty nice, though.
"When I was a kid I always wondered why they told you to take a sitting pad on a camp." //
"I don't need a sitting pad!" //
"I'll just sit here on this rock." //
"Oh the sweet childhood summers! Then I started hiking and camping in other seasons as well." //
"And I learned that you don't sit on a rock in the winter because your butt gets wet or freezes." //
"Unless you have a sitting pad which is a great piece of equipment. Recommended for everyone."
