NordenBladet – The year has begun actively and positively. I am observing my nutrition (I once again replaced breakfast sandwiches with a proper meal), and I made myself a present by deciding to give up alcohol for an indefinite period of time. I once more reopened my weight help account and I am keeping an eye on eating as healthy as possible, and for several months already I try to buy only e-additives-free food. It is so annoying that nowadays there are e-additives even in bread, white bread and whole wheat bread.

On January 1 I began searching for my sports watch, I charged it, and then we went for a walk. The watch helps count steps and helps remind us that it is important to move ourselves. In the summertime there is a lot of moving around and working in the garden, yet in winter I do not go outside much. So after that we went swimming for two hours and once we got back home we thought about possibly traveling to some place in the near future. And should we decide to go, then would we take the children or go alone. Would we go for a week or for an entire month etc. There is Covid-19 everywhere right now and we wouldn’t want to take the risk of staying in quarantine while abroad. We have also for some time now been thinking about getting us a “winter home” in the southern coast of Spain, Costa del Sol (we are actually keeping an eye on all of Andalusia regarding the real estate situation), yet this idea is not ripe at the moment.



It is so good to look up today’s and tomorrow’s power prices from our NordenBladet.ee electricity prices guidelines in real time! It is not good to boast but this app that we have created, is such great help! We have received so much positive feedback, we are using it ourselves and we are happy to hear that many others do the same. During today the electricity is in the green zone all day long (i.e. below 10 euro cents kWh), thus I planned to do the laundry today.

Last year we went to lots of concerts, performances and various events, and I decided that this year I will do the same and remain on the cultural wavelength. Right now I have already booked six new events for us:

* Giants’ Wonderland on the Song Festival Ground (Ivanka already went there once with her dad, but now we are going once more with the entire family)
* “Louis XIV – the Sun King” in the Estonian National Opera
* “Stand-up comedy of Priit Pius and Kait Kall Midagi Ikka (Still something)” in the Center for Russian Culture
* “Stand-up comedy of Ott Sepp JOKKER (Joker)“, also in the Center for Russian Culture
* “Eesti Laul 2022 (Estonian song contest 2022)” final event in Saku Suurhall – we also have seats there
* we also have tickets for the theatrical piece “ADA. The story untold” for August, in Kiidjärve Manor Park

The most recent event that we attended was “Eesti otsib superstaari“, the superfinals (see the full article about it on OHMYGOSSIP entertainment site HERE).


The beginning of the year has indeed been very active! I also just recently completed the first new painting, from the series of 14 mouse paintings that were exhibited at the Estonian National Museum, based on these I will also publish a children’s book about finances “His Highness Mouse the First“. Below you can see a few of the paintings from the ERM exhibition, and images from today’s painting! About the fourteen previous mice series paintings you can read more from my art blog at ElishevaShoshana.com site HERE.

Once more, wishing an active, full of inspiration, success and adventures New Year for you all!
Hugs!??
