No flight delays here in Finland, we're used to the freezing cold temps and the snow, it's just typical winter weather and life as usual here!

 

[last unicorn]

Yes, many delays because of the snow and cold and everything. It's freezing in most parts of Europe right now. We have all kinds of problems. I'm not a summer person and I usually don't complain about the cold, since I'm much more sensitive to the heat, but it's been going on for so long now and I would like to have some gentle temperatures very soon.

 

[mama cass]

yeah it is seriously effing freezing and i am almost at my wits end! i am so cold it's unreal!

 

[loner]

We have one cold period behind us so far.Lowest we had,was -35C. Now it's -23 in the night and -13C in daytime. Practically summer!

 

[GraceRyan]

I'm sorry people - I have no idea how you got my weather.

Yeah, we've been having similar temps too, anything between -38°C (in the night) to -16°C. But it's set to "warm up" over the weekend here, - 5°C, time to get the shorts out!!

 

[last unicorn]

Yeah, Finland is tough. All the temperatures in Europe are crazy right now. I was at a congress in Sweden a week ago and it was amazing to see that the temperatures weren't much lower than the ones we've been having here for more than 2 weeks now.

Is he leaning over? Is he actually taller than them?

he must be so happy in that picture.

 

[GraceRyan]

I heard he was so happy with his stature there - he's buying a home and relocating.

That's the first thing I noticed!

And then I noticed the man capris.

 

[Jeannieco]

OMG!! I was BORN and raised in the US Panama Canal Zone until I was 18...
I am so glad he gets to see the beautiful country I grew up in! Those are KUNA Indians , native to Panama. It's is not the tropical paradise secret it used to be when I was younger. Now it's a mecca for vacationers and retirees from the USA. Also, my sister used help run the fishing lodge in the remote jungle on the Pacific side. Lots of celebs would come visit and go sport fishing. Panama is the land of fishes! OMG now I am really homesick. I haven't been back for over 25 years.

We saw "man capris" in Ireland, so maybe it's a trade-off between long pants and shorts?

Saw them in Italy too, definitely a European thing.

 

[GraceRyan]

They just look like really long cargo shorts to me. My husband has a few pairs that are swim trunks. It looks like they are in swimsuits.

 

[last unicorn]

Capris, I love them!

These pictures remind me that there is a difference in temperature of approx. 55 degrees celsius between Panama and Europe right now

In Italy everybody has that kind of pants! But very few people look good with those

Totally, we all wear them, men and women, in summer, they are comfortable. I love my capris, I hardly wear anything else in summer.

 

[Jeannieco]

My sister lives in Panama , I told her to be on the lookout for Bono!

 

[Cactus Annie]

sorry, wrong quote

 

[Cactus Annie]

Does he shave his legs?

 

[Andreianloth]

I like to see Bono wearing shorts

 

[TaraCynara]

I like to see Bono

I fixed that for you.

 

[nesquick]

In France it's called "pantacourt", "short pants" in english, it's not too short so it's allowed for people to wear it at work during summer... It was fashionable in 2006 than it turns out to become too mainstream so every bumkins in the street started to wear it...

 

[Pamelakellett]

From those recent pix it looks like Bono still has a swollen left calf and ankle......could be from his back injury?

 

[Cactus Annie]

It's just the angle. You will need to see his legs close up to assess that

 

[Pamelakellett]

Ok. I`ll fix up an assessment for when he gets back from Panama Plus it could be the heat I suppose. Wonder if he wears sexy DVT stockings with all the flying he does

 

[Cactus Annie]

Stockings you say? Is that why his legs look hairless?

 

[last unicorn]

From those recent pix it looks like Bono still has a swollen left calf and ankle......could be from his back injury?

It may be the angle, but yes, it could very well be a result of his injury, but I don't know. I usually have a foot and calf that's thicker than the other one, which is my right one, so shoes, stockings and socks are usually tighter on my right foot and leg and I didn't have surgery and I'm quite healthy. So maybe he's just having a reaction to the heat or it's really just the angle the picture was taken from.

Bono's hair has become grey and very light, so it's hard to see it, even on his chest and we know he has a hairy chest. So no, I'm quite sure he does not shave his legs, why should he? It's not like he's running around in shorts these days a lot. I don't shave my legs in winter (which can sometimes be embarrassing, like in the swimming hall or sauna ), but I have black hair on my legs so it's clear to see.
