Summer is at hand, fresh news abounds, and as such, my posting here has been somewhat scarce.
I have a new jalgrattas (bike).. well, new meaning it was made in Germany sometime in the 70's.. named Лайка (Laika). All those unaware may check Wikipedia for the Russian historical reference.
We (meaning myself in the same boat as Tuuliki) have also bought a paat (small inflatable, rowable raft.. get the pun?!) and already made a few trips on it. First was on the sea, which was incredibly calm until a good meter out, when we made discoveries to the absolute seaworthiness of its form. Gained the name 'Laineke' (little wave) from the maiden voyage, and our near hypothermia. Took it down Pirita jõgi (Pirita river) yesterday, on the way to the sea. Three hours and almost made it.. handles rapids well, though being a raft and not a canoe as I am used to, somewhat interesting to steer. Thunderstorm and a necessary portage put a pause on the voyage (plus having to work), though it will come to completion.We have around 40 salat plants and 15 basilika growing on the balcony. I want to eat them. Now.
Tori's coming. If Falklanders don't eat her first. That means Soome on Saturday!
I know what you're thinking: that oddly looks like Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves and King Juan Carlos I of Spain, and their wives Evelin Ilves and Queen Sofia are problably close behind, and it seems like its right outside of Saiakang kohvik (where I work), and that, well, Aadam probably made cappuccino/espresso machiatto milk for them when they stopped in. Well, you're oddly correct. This time.
Sun is up until 1 and the breeze is warm.. that means an entire post on trip plans using every possible device supporting mobility!Seems a good close for this Twitter-style update. Like I wrote: breeze is warm.. beer and park before work places the Shiraz trump on the like of it all. Sõna (word).
Edasi, вперёд..
A.
