Library bag or a basket

 I think tgat after all people often succeed in choosing which books to borrow ftom the library. So they would be like with a hobby basket if they would have a baskwt ibstead of a squeezed plastic basket, which obe needs when it rains. One could borrow for example ghe famous poems of Eino Leino, out of own interest. And handicraft books, or travel handbooks to interesting places that might suit oneself. https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2023/01/christmas-gnome-internet-institute.html in the picture my basket in Savonlinna, with books I was interested in, quite in harmony with the local life, I guess.


Today I borrowed a book of the history and inheritage of wooden rowing boats. 


Those who row to the horizon
Wooden boats' life and it's inheritage 


" A wooden boat brings back the lost connection with nature. It brings us to the original springs of life and into middle of the forces of nature. In a boat in a storm or on an island in a tent we come to remember that humans are a part of the nature - instead of the crown of the living kind. " (translation of the back cover text) 

21st of February 2026   At least some of the texts where in Finnish but appeared culturally Swedish speaking. That is a big difference. For example the Swedish language has prepositions and the Finnish language has word endings which change according to the environment. So the Swedish speaking are like building from blocks, for example from bought artifacts, while the Finnish speaking Finns check all the tine what suits the environment and what not, i.e. who has wisdom and a good life.
