Helena-Reet: Children’s vaccination, visiting the TV tower, at a restaurant in Pirita, fishing for trout in Jõekääru farm in Kuusalu and much more of interest!
NordenBladet – Monday began in a well-rested spirit and peaceful mode, which means that it promises to be a successful, fine and active week! A lengthy versatile unhurried breakfast – what a luxury and a positive start for the day! I always wake up somewhat earlier and prepare a beautifully set breakfast for Allan and the children. I myself have some coffee and I usually eat a bit later when the family has been sent to school and to work. Allan gets along splendidly with the kids and even though it is not his responsibility, he also often takes them to the town to school.
In the morning the tasks at home were waiting (same old, same old – did the laundry and the dishes, sorted children’s clothes, cleaned the rooms, played with the cat), then 90 minutes of classic massage in a beauty salon in Saku, and then the groceries. After that I worked on NordenBladet. This year there’s a plan, in addition to the translation-plugin (about that I wrote HERE), to create and develop several other NordenBlader applications that are later available for downloading from WordPress! How fun! Besides, there’s a plan to innovate and shape NordenBladet’s theme. Vast majority of our readers use smartphones as their medium. Unbelievable, isn’t it! Unless I knew the statistics, I would suggest the majority reads websites via the computer screen, but no. More and more news will be accessed from cell phones and this means that online media has to be a lot more smartphone-friendly.
After the pictures from breakfast, already about what we did during the weekend and other interesting events meanwhile…
Oooh.. where to begin?! Both children, Estella Elisheva (15y) and Ivanka Shoshana (13y) went to Keila to receive the first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine. They got the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The second shot will be towards the end of October. Did I send them there light-heartedly? Not exactly, however, I rather lean toward the camp that will rely on medicine. Also, I wish we could return to normal lives – travel, freely visit the theatre, restaurants, events, etc. and do so also with children.
We went to the highest viewing platform in the Northern countries – Tallinn TV Tower (Kloostrimetsa road 58 A, 11913 Tallinn) where we enjoyed the 360 degrees panorama and visited the exhibition “Geeniaalne”. It came as a happy surprise that a lot of forest was seen from up there! For some reason I had guessed that we would see a lot of block houses and buildings, and yet, I was luckily wrong! There is a lot of greenery in Tallinn! Super! We also went to St. Patrick’s restaurant in Pirita (Supluse avenue 1). I ordered “Beef tenderloin steak with pepper-cream sauce” (13.90 eur), “Sweet potato fries with sauce” (4.90) and jasmine tea.
A recent highlight has been Allan’s father Rein’s 67th birthday that began with a big and glorious bang last week in Harju county in Jõekääru family holiday centre (Jõekääru farm, Sõitme village, Kuusalu canton, 74601). All the guests got to fish for trout and we spent delightful time in the open air. This weekend there was a family event, Birthday Vol 2, where we enjoyed seafood prepared by Allan’s brother Ardo – snails, shrimp, crawfish, blue mussels, etc. Yummy! A proper gastronome’s gourmet rally and quality time spent with kinsmen! Pictures from Ardo’s cooking skills are also accessible from one of my previous blogs – HERE! Better not look, you will have cravings 🙂 Hahaa…
To my mind, the greatest luxury in life is freedom, and when you have the freedom to plan your time and spend it with your family and friends, then you are the luckiest folks in the world! I wish you many beautiful moments and love! Affection is everything that we need in life!
That would be all for this time! Hugs!
