Nothing much going on - thanks to Corona.
The first peas coming out - hello spring!
My Palma friends came for a visit on Sunday,
which in Finland was the LASKIAINEN.
These are the sweet buns that are traditionally served.
You fill the buns with whipped cream and either with
jam or almond paste.
In clerical sense, Laskiainen is associated with Shrove Tuesday
(a.k.a. Fat Tuesday) and is a celebration of the beginning of Lent
that takes place before Easter. In Northern Europe, this tradition
has been practiced from at least the 7th century onward, and in Catholic
countries – in form of carnivals – even before that.
The traditions of Laskiainen consist largely of merrymaking and feasts.
Food-items typically enjoyed in Finland in Laskiainen include in many
cases pea soup with ham, and cheeses. The best-known after-meal dessert
of Laskiainen, often enjoyed either with coffee or tea, is Fat Tuesday Pulla
(Finnish: Laskiaispulla) – a.k.a. Shrove bun, or semla –, which is
a sweet roll filled with almond-paste or strawberry jam, and whipped cream.
Back to Majorcan views.
This wonderful view is from the terrace of our friends' house.
Yes, the bay of Canyamel.
The same view but from further up.
Yes, all restaurants and hotels are closed.
Mallorcan tourism is suffering.
These banners are now to be seen everywhere:

Winterlook at the market square in Artá.
Ladies went shopping to the newspaper stand!
