Coffee with a Side Dish
A cup of coffee or a few
With a sweet side dish or two
A lifesaver for any day
Will keep all kinds of doctors away

Jean Sibelius Day, 8th of December
Posted in Celebration, National Day (Finland)
“My favourite country is Finland
because once you get to a certain point
you can drive for hours without seeing a single person.
I love peace and quiet – something I don’t get very often”
Christopher Lee
Jean Sibelius Day, 8th of December
Jean Sibelius, born Johan Julius Christian Sibelius (8 December 1865 – 20 September 1957), was a Finnish composer and violinist of the late Romantic and early-modern periods. He is widely recognized as his country’s greatest composer and, through his music, is often credited with having helped Finland to develop a national identity during its struggle for independence from Russia.
Sibelius composed prolifically until the mid-1920s but after completing his Seventh Symphony (1924), the incidental music for The Tempest (1926), and the tone poem Tapiola (1926).
