Terve! Hello, dear friends! It’s your Sisu calling from a hot Ranua. Oh bear, what a heat wave we’ve had and still have! Mama and I are lucky having our own pool where we can have refreshing swimming and diving tours whenever we feel like it.

Of course, we even play a lot and racing mama is one of my favourite hobbies.

Mama, not so fast …. please, remember I’m your little boy and you’re supposed to let me win!!!

20180625-_T4A0867

Hahaa, I got my way and won again! Some bears might call this cheating but a bear boy must be encouraged …..

This ball is a real challenge!

I roll into the water. Maybe it’s easier to break it in the wet element.

This ball really is what I call a polar bear proof ball!!!!!

20180625-_T4A0789

It just refuses to take the shape of an omelette like my other balls ….

20180625-_T4A0832

Well, I bet I can break it before the snow falls! Would you like to place your bets, hehehee. 🙂

I found something in the water – I wonder if it’s a piece of meat. It’s hard to say because it has lost it’s flavour.

20180625-_T4A0809

However, it serves nicely as a toy! I think my throwing technics are developing all the time.

Over the shoulder it goes!

Even the dholes are looking for shadowy places these days.

These little pigs don’t seem to mind the heat but play happily together.

As you all know a dirty bear is a happy bear and I’m sure it goes for the piggies, too. These two must be extremely happy! 🙂

Jemma’s motto is ‘my home is my castle’ –  that’s why she calls her home Bearham Palace.

On the roof she has a nice fitness studio where she can do her yoga exercises.

20180625-_T4A0913

She really seems to be in a ‘tipitopi’ condition.

20180625-_T4A0922

This must be one of the sweetest bear faces in the world! I know I’m very cute but Jemma sure looks lovely, too!

20180705-_T4A4084

I love this photo of the swan!

Squirrels are funny little rascals. I wonder if this one has already started to fill the food supplies for the coming Winter.

20180625-_T4A1004-2

Sometimes I just sit in the water and meditate ….

20180625-_T4A1089

…. but too much meditation is a bit boring so here I go again!

20180625-_T4A1093

Please, don’t forget to drink a lot and don’t stay too long in the sunshine now that it’s so hot almost everywhere.

Of course, you can even follow my example to cool you off ….

That’s all for this time. I wish all the readers of Knuti’s Weekly a cool Summer dispite of the heat!

Your pal Sisu.
