.. where Ikea makes a snowman for Mother’s Day

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

apparently, the Paris mystery has to wait still. because last weekend i travelled to south-Estonia and discovered spring! u know, on saturday, it was 25*C!! this is approximately 20* more than it has been here in Kadriorg. because if you are a giraffe, like me, you’d prefer warmer climate, especially in spring or summer. so, as it is quite nice weather, i went to pick some flowers. i don’t like flowers all the time, but sometimes i like them. i don’t know why, actually.. most of them don’t taste very good either, i can tell you.

so, here it’s me roaming for some spring flowers, hehe.

and here i have gathered a whole bunch of them already. i mostly look for Sinililled because this is the favorite of my friend Sipsik. you know why? it’s quite simple, really. u know how they are called in Svensk – Blåsippssläktet. as u can see, my friend’s nickname (Sips) is also included in the flowers name! so, no mystery there at all!

after all this work i could not resist my chance to – sunbathe! i also did a little daydreaming too. quite nice with all this sun!

but not every day was like that, i’m afraid. because on sunday, it was snowing!! well, it was not snowing really, but i did discover a huge pile of snow! take a look over here:

this snow was very nice and soft, so i could dig a big hole inside. and u know, it is very much real snow!! so, i could not resist this time my chance to do the small snowman still this year, as my friend Sipsik suggested. so i did!

this snowman does remind me flickr for some reason, i have to say..  but it’s quite fun to build a snowman still on 9th of May in this neck of woods, don’t you think? this same day it also appeared to be a Mother’s Day, so it’s name is Happy Mother’s Day Snowman, hehe! so, lots of fun in south-Estonia. what about you, did you build a snowman for Mothers day or did you have 25 degrees? let me know! have fun and cu l8r!

ps. my facebook page now has 100 fans, jei! thanks for coming! if you know some other giraffe fans, then u can invite them also, it’s http://www.facebook.com/ikeathegiraffepage have fun!

.. where Ikea is watching Haanja maraton

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!
last weekend i was traveling to south-Estonia again to watch some skiing again. this time Haanja Maraton as u can see here – this is me at the start (everybody has already started, i’m afraid):

but, i have no skis yet, so i was just watching this time. i hope they make some skis for giraffes soon, because it seems to me that there is a lot of snow here in south-Estonia every time i travel here! because the marathon is quite long u know – 40km – and very nice sunny weather, i had lots of time to sunbathe!!

hehe! but, of course, when the skiers finally came back to finish, i then went a little closer to cheer them up! u know, in Estonia they seem to shout “hei hei hei” to the skiers, which sounds exactly like “hej hej hej” in swedish. which is “hello”. so, it is quite nice when you are from sweden and coming to finish and everybody is saying “hello”! fun!



so here it’s me saying “hello” to everybody, hehe!
and look – again SHADOW! ooh, i like shadows, u know, they are great fun!



and here, finally we had great local soup from local soup-makers! it’s probably the best soup that i have had, although i’m not a soup-giraffe that much. anyways, i have to say, really successful day/weekend in Haanja u know: i got to sunbathe, i saw shadows and had a lot of fun shouting “hello” :) what kind of fun travel have u done recently? let me know in comments and c u l8r!

..where Ikea is sunbathing in S. Florida

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

Now, I have to tell you about my trip to florida when I was vacationing. You may already know that i have this one favorite hobby to sunbathe. In fact, this is one of the favorite hobbies of all giraffes, you know. That’s why we have these big brown spots – from sunbathing a lot!

So, when I was in florida, i had to go and try out these beaches. and then i made some fotografs. Here are some of them taken in Melbourne beach area. First, i discover this small hole:

.. then, luckily i also find this cool orange spade for digging:

.. and voilà, here comes a big hole!

here, it’s me talking to my shade. as you know, i like shades a lot too!

.. and now, some sea as well. i think it is not obvious, but there are thousands of fish on this fotograf. unfortunately, they are very small, even tiny ones right in the middle of these waves!

i had to take out my slippers because of this hot-hot sand. It was definitely the hottest sand since mexico, hehe :)


So secondly, I also checked out the beach in Key West. Not so many waves there, i’m afraid, even less small fish. So not too many fotografs this time. But at least a few proper fotografs of me sunbathing :)



So that’s it for this time. I still have a few fotografs of me in the Tampa Zoo, so i hope to get those posted quite soon as well! CU later!

hmm, what’s this doing here …?
