.. where Ikea attends light festival in Kadriorg

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

Last week was extremely busy for us, giraffes. First of all, there were many things to do. Secondly, lots of fun to have. Third – places to visit! And OTHER things too, u know! Like for example in my home neighborhood, Kadriorg, there was this really nice festival called something like “Lights in Kadriorg”. Being the only giraffe (that i know of), me and my friends decided to go. It was lots of fun! I have some viagra here, too!

Unfortunately, some of them are little bit foggy, i’m afraid. It’s mainly because of me running all the time, because i wanted to count all the lights in the park. but, as u know, u can’t really get a good fotograf without flash and people (giraffes) running at the same time. but, take a look and perhaps u can visit next time. They have it every year and it is very nice!

it is hard to notice, but there are lots of people in these fotografs in fact. it is because it turned out this festival was more like a gr8 party with music and lights. i think i might start liking festivals actually. and it starts with f, so it’s a good start, for anything, really.

so, i gotta go to do some OTHER things now, but let me know if you went to this event too (i saw 10 000 people or so), and if u have any gr8 fotografs!! have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea is watching the 1st Tallinn Marathon!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

almost missed todays post! but i have been extremely busy lately. like for example, this weekend it was the first real city marathon in Tallinn! jei! it’s gr8 thing, because i like running a lot, u know.  and the gr8 thing about it was that, this time, the event was going right past my home neighborhood, Kadriorg!! so i got up quite early morning and went out to cheer everybody and do a bit of running myself, hehe! also, my friend Sipsik was running. not the marathon, but there were other races too, like 10K, for example. unfortunately i don’t have too many fotografs because i was so busy cheering and nobody had time to take fotografs, i’m afraid..
but here’s one from the finish area, after the races, so it turned out well it seems to me. what about you? have u been doing any marathons lately? let me know! have fun and cu l8r!

ps. it is not zero degrees, it’s actually more like 20*C, hehe

.. where Ikea ends up watching xdream in Valgehobusemäe

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what. on Friday, i was looking thru some fun giraffe stuff for my #funfriday collection, resting from holidays AND eating apples when my friend Sipsik asked if i was doing anything fun on Saturday. Normally i would have said “i’m doing very important stuff”, like “sunbathing” or “playing hide-and-seek with Angel”, but i was just in the middle of learning some Judo with my friend Lotte. “So, perhaps u would like to go and check how your team is doing at the xdream?” of course, i agreed right away. i like watching sport a lot. and xdream is quite fun too – lot’s of running! so, i went to this place called Valgehobusemäe, to support my team, ikeathegiraffe.com. here’s my team canoeing:

unfortunately, i did not get to see too many teams this time, as not everyone started together. so instead i mostly saw the same people, over and over, hehe! so i now remember some faces even. although giraffes, like me, are not gr8 with memory, u know. luckily i have fotografs. here’s a fotograf from this point that i found just a little bit off the main track:

the most fun part was this RMK special task, where you had to figure out the names of different animals. so there were seven different ones:

the gr8 thing about this special task was that i got to participate, as u can see. so people had to figure out seven animals. i can already tell u that number seven was giraffe!! but the other numbers were like Lynx and Moose among other things. can u guess which is which? let me know in comments!

there were, of course lot more fotografs that i took. they are mostly from my team, ikeathegiraffe.com, i’m afraid. but that’s good news because they got 12th place in Valgehobusemäe (White Horse Hill) and 11th in total. which is gr8 because i got to be on stage, jei! lots of fun, because i got to shake hands with about 40 people, hehe! if i get hold of a link to a fotograf, i will update this post! until then, have fun and let me know about the animal guessing ;)
