Where are the snows of yesteryear? In many ski resorts in Finland, they are carefully covered and saved for the next winter, in order to get a head start on the next ski season. As a poignant choice for the last day of Lexember, ConWorkShop set today’s theme as Nostalgia. The words I have chosen today do have some vague connection to the theme, as they all refer to something that used to be different, or will become different.
