Early Morning Coffee at a Newspaper

Post Reply New Topic

I am a subscriber to a couple of local Finnish newspapes. The previous night, I am planning to have a nice cup of coffee reading them. They arrive early in the morning, at about 4 am. They are delivered -- not like in American movies by a young lad throwing them onto your lawn -- but directly into my mail slot which is in my door. This is excellent service. However, come morning, I do make me some coffee and collect the papers from the floor of my hallway, but I don't read them. I just have a glance on the headlines.

This makes no sense.

Most people only read the headlines.

Do you do crossword puzzles?

I do, both in Finnish and English. -- Actually, I have been contributing to a newspaper by designing and sketching crossword puzzles. Planning them, that is.

That's really cool!

How's the weather in Finland?

Normal early spring weather -- overcast, not too cold, warmish I'd like to say. Right now it's 6:30 pm, so it is getting dark. What's the weather like where you are, Kraftiekortie? (Seems that you're from the NYC, great!)

Here in NYC, its raining and about 7 Celsius. Probably similar to your weather.

It was 27 Celsius in some parts of NYC last week.

We had a very mild winter, and March is very mild is well (so far).

This is despite the 75 cm snowfall we received last late January.

The best thing in the world are newspapers to me! I'm seventeen and I don't know if any other teens like newspapers. The worst thing about it is that my mom doesn't like buying the newspaper. It's cool that the mail goes directly to your door. Us Americans should do that because it is more appropriate than throwing it onto your lawn or driveway.
