Thanks everybody for helping me out with my technical difficulties! It seems to have been either a problem with Live Writer (which I have re-calibrated), or a temporary glitch with blogger. Hopefully, it’s fixed now.
But, just to make sure, can I request (one last time) that you leave a comment on this post which I’m doing through Writer.
I’ll even give you something to comment about:
Introducing, How to Tan in Winter When You Live at Latitude 63+North
Step 1: Find a ideal location with good solar reflective qualities. A light-coloured brick wall directly facing the sun will do.
Step 2: Clear out the snow. Better yet, have your 13 year old son do it for you.
Step 3: Find a chair. Don’t bother trying to find one of the comfortable chaise/loungers. It’s too much trouble, and then you’ll have to put it away when it starts to snow again.
Step 4: Get a pillow or blanket to sit on so you don’t get a bladder infection.
Step 5: Get a big ol’ pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun blasting off the snow – your eyes are unaccustomed to such brightness after a ridiculously long, dark winter. (And don’t forget to wear a toque (that’s Canadian for woolen cap) because your hair is wet from the shower.)
Step 6: Enjoy a good book and some moments in the sun while you soak up some vitamin D!

PS. What you don’t see is first the water dripping off the gutter onto my knees and then later chunks of snow were falling off the roof onto my lap. I put the book away, but still sat there for 30 minutes anyways.
8 friends had something to say . . .:
Looks too cold!! How did you make it 30 minutes??? : ) I can hardly stand outside here when it's in the 40's. . .I'm a wimp. . .
Ha. That is awesome! Glad you enjoyed some sunshine!

does it count if your whole body is covered head to toe in winter clothes, does the Vitamin D soak in thru the small amount of bare skin in your face? Oh how I long for Spring? Tell me again why I live in the cold? I think I may just be getting old? Naw, not me!
Hehehe... you are too funny! Glad you got some sun, but BOY does it look cold!
looks too cold for me! i think i would rather take a vitamin D supplement instead :)
Hi!
My husband Eric & I are in the process of completing the adoption of our daughter from St. Pete, Russia. I noticed you also adopted your daughter from St. Pete! What baby home was your daughter from?
Like your blog!
Feel free to e-mail me at katlinn@centurylink.net.
Oh, that was funny! I guess when you have snow there for so long, anything to get some sun is good!
Hilarious! Looks like you're developing your own brand of 'sisu'..."I'm gonna sit in the sunshine, no matter what!". It's so nice to have the return of sunlight...but, man, does it ever hurt the eyes when it bounces off the snow!
