Day 18 - Taking Care of Business

12/7/2025

​Today was a not so eventful day but we did a lot, including almost 15,000 steps! Today we had a lovely breakfast with Eva and her family in our apartment. It was a little small for 7 of us but we made do. We ate so many blueberries and strawberries, they are so delicious here. In the morning though we had to move apartments to the penthouse for the last two days, so we spent some time to pack our bags and move upstairs. We didn’t spend the day with Eva and her family, they went to the sea plane museum, we had to do other things. Mum really wanted to go to the fabric shops to see what they had, as she was looking for some ribbon, so we headed off on a little adventure. I may have got the directions a little wrong and made mum walk a little more than she would have liked but we also spoke about the importance of walking. We bought a few things to be able to create some new products for Estonian Designs AU but that is part of our future plans. We headed back home after some shopping for a really lovely lunch, just at home, with a variety of things put out on the table. I really enjoy this style of eating, it is really wholesome. After lunch and a little rest we headed back out to Vanalinn, and met Eva and her family. Dad and I had to go pick up and order from near the top of the city then wondered back down to see Eva and her family, playing in the park on Haarju Street. It was so sweet watching the kids play and laughing, it fills me with joy. Dad and I then went to do some more business and pick up groceries for dinner. I was cooking for everyone some chicken dish with chantarelle mushrooms, my favourite. Like I said it was a day with lots of little things to do, almost like living here but I really enjoyed it.
Until tomorrow
