guess what! just two weeks ago it was snow all over the place – as u can see! Usually, even in Estland, by this time it is all gone. So, quite fun in fact!

However, it was a really-really secret event there, in Vihula Manor, so I can’t tell u much about it, i’m afraid. And I can tell u it was NOT related to the fact that Tik is a Moon-Rabbit. Or to the fact it was all covered in snow so we could not take more fotografs. Or maybe it is.. hehe, u can never be quite sure about things if a giraffe and a Moon-Rabbit get involved, can u?

Have u been to Vihula? Or to the Moon? let me know in comments! have fun and cu l8r!

guess what! i’m back, hehe! u are probably asking where i have been? i can tell u – i was stuck in snow!! yes, in South-Estonia. This year we have really had very nice snow here, in March and even April!!! This fotograf is made a couple of weeks ago and it is not April Fools – if u ask me! It is real snow, u know!

I guess u already know the good news! I had birthday last week! And thank u for the birthday wishes! I did not have time to post it sooner, but here it is: I got a present too – truffles!

I have to say, i have never had truffles before. In fact, who would have thought that in the world of ice-cream and acacia leaves there are also truffles? But there are, and i got this little nice package! it’s nice, don’t u think?
Well, i have to tell u a secret – this present was not only for me, but also for my friend, Sipsik. She had birthday too, u know! There were 5 different ones:

My friend Sipsik liked the one with chilli the best. And the one with rum. As for me, i liked the white one the most – it’s with the coconut. I like coconuts a lot. They are easily in top 20 of nuts that i like, so that’s a good thing. And it also sounds fun: a coconut! Sound is an important thing about coconuts, or nuts in general, it seems to me.. Like for example my friend Lotte told me that u can do horses walking with big coconuts. Hmm. Maybe u can do giraffes walking with coconuts too? Have to find out some day.. Maybe today?

So, how about you? Have u had any birthdays lately? or truffles? Apparently they make these truffles in a place called Pierre, in Estland. Have u tried? let me know which u like best! Have fun and cu l8r!

ooh, did anyone mention that i have been busy lately? well, guess what! the good news is that besides being busy, i have also been travelling, jei! This time Egypt! Although, i must say it was mostly just hanging around in a Hotel, but that’s ok too. For a giraffe! and i took some fotografs!!
So, lets start from the beginning. Good news number 1: the pool.

we, giraffes are very much into pools. we don’t like swimming a lot, as you might know, but still, pools are gr8, if u ask me! Especially the ones which have a giant Frog sitting inside. High five, frog!
Second good news about the hotel was this – guess what – they had statue of a giraffe in the driveway!!

This is like best news ever from a hotel in Egypt! And they even don’t have many giraffes in Egypt. Only zoos maybe..? But they have camels, i can tell u that much, hehe!
Good news #3: really loooooooong bridges, like a looooooooong giraffe’s neck. But u cannot walk on a neck, i’m afraid. Or sit on it, for that matter.

Good news number FOUR: The Sunshine! So here’s me, sunbathing, jei:

Always gr8 to travel to a place with lots of sun. Especially in the wintertime – not as much sun here in Estland in the winter, i’m afraid. Also a bit colder, it seems! Like minus 22 last night, hehe!

Also, quite fun: hotel at night! See if u can spot the giraffe (it’s me) in this fotograf:

ok, it was not that difficult. Still quite nice, don’t u think?

So lots of sunshine and other fun things in Egypt! I took lots of more fotografs but my friend Sipsik asked not to put all of them in my blog. It may be because they are mostly about me and this giraffe statue, hehe :)

Unfortunately had no chance to go geocaching this time, but maybe next time? But I have to say also that only 7 caches in this area, Sharm el sheikh! Have u been there? Let me know in comments! Until then, have fun and cu l8r!

Oh and also, meet my new friend, Mr. Duck – sunbathing, hehe!

guess what?! i have been travelling! well, not too much, but a little. and now i am quite tired in fact. but guess who i met!? this fun animal, hehe! Elefant, don’t u think? or maybe a rabbit? or .. well, let me know your thoughts on this! until then, let me go and sort my fotografs from the trip – coming soon! have fun and cu l8r!

Guess what! our new red table arrived from – yes! – IKEA! and we got to build it. Well, my friend Lotte says we did not exactly build it, because, it was almost done. So u can say we put it together. or assembled it. Either way, now we have it! Do u want to know more about it? Here comes!

so, here’s me and my friend Tik inspecting the package. The gr8 news is that in addition to the red table, there are also chairs! 2 of them, in fact.

so that is exactly what was in the topmost package. here’s me and my friends Lotte and Tik contemplating. Because, u know, at first it seems like there are too many parts! Luckily for us, my friend Lotte is quite good at these assemblies. We had the first chair together in almost no time at all!

Here’s Lotte, Tik and me with the chair. So, now we left the other chair for my friend Sipsik and moved on to the table ourselves. Here on the next fotograf, u already see two chairs completed and most of the table as well:

The gr8 thing about these IKEA tables (besides that they look nice) is that they are so easy to assemble. In fact, it took even less time for my friend Sipsik to put this other chair together. It is actually a little bit mystery to me that chairs can be so easy to assemble..
Well, the good news is that the red table and the chairs are all together now, as u can see below. So it was time to rest a little bit. But let me also tell u a secret – this table and chairs are not for us – they are for my friends Pipi and Lotta! But i have agreed with my friend Sipsik that we can use them as well. I know the Teddies want to use these chairs to climb up to the cookie jar, but i’m not so sure this was part of the agreement..? So, i have to find out. Until then, let me know if u have assembled any tables or chairs recently? Have fun and cu l8r!

guess what? i have been busy! giraffes are very active especially at the start of the new year and i have not had time to make any fotografs. so, instead, let me tell u one gr8 news – it’s a new blog! it’s not mine, it’s my friends’ – Sipsik’s. And it is about cooking. Cooking is almost like cookies, but with lots of more stuff. I don’t like cooking as much, but i like baking cookies, as probably know. Cooking involves baking too, so it’s actually gr8 fun.

So, u can check out the blog here: sipsikkokkab.blogspot.com but i have to tell u it is in Estonian. But that’s ok. If u don’t know Estonian, u can look at pictures – they are gr8 too! or u can use a translator, like me, hehe! My friend Lotte is also gr8 at translation, maybe she can help. In fact i will go and ask what kind of languages she can translate (it’s a lot!). Until then, let me know if u have started any blogs recently? Have fun and cu l8r!

Cookies, my favorites – with carrots, seeds and stuff

Just wanted to post this postcard and wish you a very Happy New Year! Thanks for coming and have fun!

it seems to me it is xmas time! and that only means one thing – Christmas Cookies, jei! This time, it is – of course – rabbits! Because, u know, it’s the favorite animal of my friend, Pipi. Just after giraffes, hehe!

So, making xmas cookies is really really easy. U need pretty much the same things as what u would need for making giraffes. And then, u need the rabbit cookie-cutter! Here’s how it looks like with a few rabbits cut out:

Did u find the rabbit with one ear? It’s because Saab ate one ear!! Here’s some more rabbits, baked:

Can u find the on-eared rabbit here too? What about two ducks? hehe, it’s like puzzle, don’t u think?! Well, here’s a little puzzle for u:

Find:
- a rabbit with one ear
- a rabbit without ears
- two ducks
- a rabbit with a banjo
- a rabbit with square sunglasses
- a rabbit with a Peace sign
- a rabbit with a big S
- a rabbit with a beard
- a rabbit with one eye
- a rabbit with three eyes
- a rabbit with bmw sign
- a rabbit from Star Trek
- a bee-looking rabbit
- a rabbit with swimming trunks and suspenders
- a rabbit with Hedgehog from Pesakond

u can also find others, if u want. as u can see, there are lots of small hearts too on this fotograf. my friend Lotte made those. Can u tell, how many are there?
and look, what i also found – the Moomins!

apparently, my friend Sipsik had baked some as I was away taking fotografs of rabbits, hehe! also, i can tell u a secret – my friends Sipsik and Lotte and me, we put the Moomins and the rabbits in little Christmas packages for our other friends! Luckily, we had some rabbits left over too, look:

As u can see, making rabbits is gr8 fun! It seems to me that making rabbits is almost as fun as making giraffes. Or any other Christmas cookies really! Also, the gr8 news is that now we can eat them! The Teddies will especially like this part, hehe. Did u make any Christmas cookies this year? Let me know!

Have fun and Merry Christmas!!

guess what! it’s gr8 big snow outside!! but i can’t go outside, because there is snow everywhere and also, very cold!!

But it seems that i have not posted the fotograf from my last trip with my friend Piia. In fact, we went to Konuvere. It’s a small place little bit of South-West of Tallinn. The gr8 thing about Konuvere is the bridge. It is quite old, about 150 years. In fact, when it was built, probably it was the longest such bridge in the World!! – my friend Lotte told me. So it is quite old and quite long. And it is renovated. Renovated is when u take a really old bridge and make it look like it was new. So it does not look like old, but it is! It says so on the little sign. I can also tell it is old. Because nobody uses it any more. For exempel there is another bridge for cars just next to it, hehe! Funny, don’t u think? Oh, and we went geocaching, too! So here comes the fotograf. Thanks to my friend, Piia. Have u been travelling to any old bridges recently? Let me know!! Have fun and cu l8r!
