.. where a new girl moves in with Ikea

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what happened! like my friend Sipsik said some time ago (she said we may have another friend moving in with us soon) we have now another gr8 friend living with us, in Kadriorg! that’s great news! also, the second best news is that our new friend is a girl! She is a dog and her name is Lotte!

so, we right away we gathered around Lotte to ask some most important questions. u know like – what is your name (Lotte), where are you from (Gadgetville), what is your favorite color (red) and what is your favorite fun thing to do (to invent) and many other very very important questions. but maybe Lotte will blog about her some other time in the future, right now i will leave the other answers a secret, hehe! oh, but did u know, she is actually a movie star!!
so, apparently, Lotte especially likes to invent stuff and she is really smart! that means she is very good at some fun things that we did not know were fun. like for example, Lotte found a Rubik’s Cube that the Teddies had messed up. in fact, it was so messed up that we contemplated taking apart all the color stickers and putting them back together so it would be ok. there was also another alternative put forward by Saab – to eat it. luckily we choose to eat ice-cream instead. as it turns out, even the Teddies cannot mess the cube up so badly that Lotte cannot put it back in the order!! (we tried three times, in fact. we even used the help of my friend Sipsik, she is also very good at messing it up, u know!) so, here’s Lotte teaching me the tricks of the Cube:

apparently, it is very much fun! it seems to me that if i practice alot, i could even get one side together. it will probably be the orange side then, it’s my favorite!
actually there are lots of fun things Lotte knows about, in fact i need to go now because Lotte promised to teach us a little about Judo. i know nothing about it, but it sounds like fun. do you know about Judo? let me know! in the meatime, i will try to go and see if i can go and participate in the running marathon this year! we’ll see. have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea gets stuck on a boardwalk with Undu

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

u know what, it is still very very hot outside. in fact it is also hot inside! that’s why i will keep it very short today too. so we can go play beach volleyball with the teddies and Angel. Undu can’t play because of his sheep costume, i’m afraid, hehe.

so, what happened is that me, Undu and my friend Sipsik i went to this place called Luhasoo (a bog really). but u don’t have to walk in the mud, there is a a very nice hiking trail made of wooden boards that circle around the lakes in the middle. so, here’s me and Undu walking:

but apparently mr Busy Beaver had been working on the water levels, so right after we had this photograph taken, we got stuck somehow. as u can see from the pic now also, there is only water a bit further away. so, we had to go back instead of forward. of course, the best thing is that it was actually the wrong way, as we found out later! hehe! so, have to go now, but tell me if you have been getting stuck in a bog lately! thanks for stopping and cu l8r! have fun :)

.. where Ikea goes wild-strawberry-hunting with Saab och Volvo

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

Apparently, there is this other thing better than strawberries – you’re right – wild strawberries! so, with a little planning, we successfully excecuted this idea from couple of weeks back. unfortunately Undu wasn’t there because we could not find him as we set out for the expedition. actually, nobody knows where he was during that time. although i think he was sheeping…

so then, it was up to me and teddies. we set out to explore the wilderness with Volvo in charge:

as i turns out, they have a pretty good nose for wild strawberries! also i found out that wild strawberries are teddies’ number three favorite berries. number two being cowberries and number one – blueberries! well, that’s quite obvious really, just look at their face, hehe. but i have to say, Volvo and Saab eat pretty much everything. like paper for example!
in fact, even on our way i already spotted some, like here for example:

so, before the teddies could find out, i quickly grabbed..

.. and wohoo, it tasted well! :)

so, in no time we managed to hunt down a great spot of wild stawberries! in the fotograf u can see everyone concentrating on this little game we invented in the process. it is called “fun foraging” and it’s very simple – to find and eat as much berries as possible in least amount of time. it is great fun, quite recommended! here’s some fotografs of teddies playing:

->> Volvo jostling his way to the catch..

->> Saab about 1 second before the little red treats are no more.. (u can see Volvo just behind him in the grass!)

->> Volvo now posing for the camera. just for a second really!

->> and here’s everybody sunbathing, totally loaded with strawberries i’m afraid!

it was in fact quite hard to move after such intense and fun game that we had. i think i even stretched my neck a little (it’s ok by now). apparently, Volvo won the game. we agreed with the teddies to have a followup for the hunt soon too. they suggested to go for the blueberries this time and i agreed. im not such great fan of blueberries myself, but i think it will be fun to see Volvo and Saab playing fun foraging again, hehe! what about you, have u played fun foraging? perhaps you have a different name for it – let me know! have fun and cu l8r!
