Are those studded tires?

They are. We live on area where you could probably drive winter through with non-studded winter tyres, should I say 90% of winter, but then there’s that 10% when road surface can be so icy, that you simply must have studded ones.
In snow it really doesn’t matter that much, on it it’s about the surface texture and composition of tire.
It has been quite warm and cloudy and wet, +4°C on day and night, but when sky gets clear on night, roads are going to be icy in the morning.
I was somewhat early bird this year, because when icy mornings appear, everyone in cities of Finland remembers that they don’t have winter tyres under (people on country side are generally more aware of change of seasons…) so you can guess how hilarious it can be trying to get time for tire change from car service, if you don’t happen to have your own (preferably warm) carage and tools for that.

In Finland its custom to remember today those who have departed by bringing candles to their graves. In Finnish graveyards there is place where you can leave candle for those who are not buried there, so we usually leave our candle there.

Nice candles! Are the candle containers reusable?
They are recyclable. They are either collected afterwards by parish maintence workers (Lutheran parishes manage most of the graveyards in Finland) or by Scouts on some places. Then metal and plastic parts are sorted accordingly.
Glass ones that are left on grave are usually not collected, in case they are going to be used again by relatives.

Bought Coca Cola in Germany, much cheaper compared to my Country in the Netherlands. The price in Germany is €1,13 per liter. In the Netherlands you can’t even get it on sale like this

It’s weird to see that price. We drive from Germany to the Netherlands for coffee, it’s way cheaper at your country than in Germany. And the best is, everything on the box is printed in german.
I’ve heard Coca Cola is very effective against hard to wipe out grease stains 
I wouldn’t certainly put that potion in me
